Various embodiments enable a computing device to incorporate frame selection or preprocessing techniques into a text recognition pipeline in an attempt to improve text recognition accuracy in various environments and situations. For example, a mobile computing device can capture images of text using a first camera, such as a rear-facing camera, while capturing images of the environment or a user with a second camera, such as a front-facing camera. Based on the images captured of the environment or user, one or more image preprocessing parameters can be determined and applied to the captured images in an attempt to improve text recognition accuracy.
