What is Optical Character Recognition (OCR)?

Optical Character Recognition or OCR helps convert images of handwritten, typed, or printed text into machine-encoded text. It can help extract and repurpose data from scanned documents and image-only PDFs. OCR helps make original content within any image editable and thus enables efficient document processing and empowers digitization. Hardware like optical scanners and software like artificial intelligence or AI have helped evolve OCR.
