What is OCR

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. This digital technique lets a computer read an image’s letters, numbers, and characters. OCR stands for “optical Character Recognition” It is a technology that recognises text within a digital image. It is commonly used to recognise text in scanned documents and images. OCR software can be used to convert a physical paper document, or an image into an accessible electronic version with text.

OCR, how does it work?

Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is a scan software that follows a step-by-step process to recognize patterns. It starts with a scanned document containing text, which is initially recognized as an image.

Letters, numbers, and characters can be recognised on the pixel level. These pixels form words that can be digitised, which again makes a digital document searchable.

A simple OCR Engine stores many font and text image patterns as templates. The OCR software uses pattern-matching algorithms to compare text images, character by character, to its internal database. If the system matches the text word by word, it is called optical word recognition.

What documents can be digitised with OCR?

You can OCR old scarce books or documents, construction files, and more and scan them perfectly into editable text.
