What is OCR?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, which is the process of converting printed or written text into a digital format that can be edited and searched.
OCR software scans an image or document containing text and identifies individual characters, which are then translated into machine-readable text. OCR technology is commonly used in document management, digitization of archives, and data entry tasks. It can be used to convert paper-based documents into electronic format, to recognize text in images, and to extract data from scanned forms. OCR technology has greatly improved in recent years due to advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Modern OCR software can accurately recognize text in a variety of languages and fonts, and can even recognize handwriting. OCR technology has revolutionized the way we handle and manage documents, making it easier to access and search through large amounts of information in a digital format.
