WorkBuddy severely misrecognizes characters in student essays; did I miss a setting?

Last Friday I was grading essays. My class wrote 'My Animal Friend', resulting in over forty handwritten drafts. I heard WorkBuddy can scan and recognize text, so I thought maybe I could use it as an assistant to convert the essays into digital format for later typo analysis. I spent all night messing around with it, and honestly, the result was a mix of funny and frustrating.
