+        ### What is Gregg Shorthand?
+        
+        Gregg shorthand is a phonetic writing system invented by **John Robert Gregg** in 1888. 
+        It was the most popular shorthand system in the English-speaking world for over a century.
+        
+        **Key Features:**
+        - **Phonetic**: Based on sounds rather than spelling
+        - **Cursive**: Written in flowing, connected strokes
+        - **Efficient**: Much faster than longhand writing
+        - **Geometric**: Uses circles, curves, and straight lines
+        
+        **Historical Uses:**
+        - Court reporting and legal documentation
+        - Business correspondence and meeting minutes
+        - Journalism and news reporting
+        - Personal note-taking and diary writing
+        - Administrative and government records
+        
+        **Why Digitize?**
+        - Preserve historical documents
+        - Make archives searchable
+        - Support stenography education
+        - Research historical communications

+        ### Image Guidelines:
+        
+        **✅ Best Practices:**
+        - Use **high-resolution** images (300+ DPI)
+        - Ensure **good contrast** between ink and paper
+        - Crop images to focus on **shorthand text only**
+        - Keep text **right-side up** and **straight**
+        - Use **well-lit** photos without shadows
+        
+        **📱 Phone Camera Tips:**
+        - Hold steady and focus clearly
+        - Use good lighting (natural light works best)
+        - Avoid glare and reflections
+        - Fill the frame with the shorthand text
+        - Take multiple shots if needed
+        
+        **📄 Document Scanning:**
+        - Scan at 300 DPI or higher
+        - Use grayscale or color mode
+        - Ensure flat documents without curves
+        - Clean dust and marks if possible
+        
+        **⚙️ Confidence Threshold:**
+        - **Low (0.3-0.5)**: Shows more results, including uncertain ones
+        - **Medium (0.5-0.7)**: Balanced accuracy and coverage
+        - **High (0.7-1.0)**: Only high-confidence results
