Optical Character Recognition Technology
Optical Character Recognition Technology (OCR) enables transforming various types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images taken by a digital camera, to editable and searchable data. In other words, it is possible to extract any kind of text from other components of an image or document, through the OCR technology.
In fact, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is a commercial solution applied for automating the extraction of data from a printed text or a writing, existing on a scanned document or image file and then converting it to a machine-readable version, for the purpose of processing such as edit or search.
