What is OCR?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typed or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used as a form of data entry form. In OCR processing, the scanned-in image or bitmap is analyzed for light and dark areas in order to identify each alphabetic letter or numeric digit. When a character is recognized, it is converted into an ASCII code. Then OCR will be used to speed up the recognition process.
