OCR reading cell boundary as '1' and decimal as a comma

Hi, I am using OCR to reading the contents of a table. All the checking is done within a loop. I change some values in a particular field and the values change in the table accordingly. However, occasionally OCR is interpreting the cell boundary of a particular cell (only in some iterations) as a '1' and some times the decimal place as a comma. 

Has anyone seen this issue before and was there a solution to this?

    Hi Avais, the recognition algorithm is based around machine learning and when you change something in the field, it can interpret the image differently. To work around this, I'd suggest playing around with fonts - you might get better results with a different one.
