You typically need to pre-process the images.

I'd recommend https://scantailor.org/ for this (OSS, but unmaintained)

This has the latest developments, but is also seemingly unmaintained for over a year: https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced

ScanTailor official repo also archived on November 29, 2020.[0]

As alternative to ScanTailor (and its forks) there is gImageReader (Tesseract Qt/GTK GUI), but also seems like unmaintained since 2019.[1,2]
