Optical Character Recognition: Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Optical Character Recognition

OCR, also known as optical character recognition, is the process of electronically or mechanically converting images of typed, handwritten, or printed text into machine-encoded text. This can be done from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo, or from subtitle text that is superimposed on an image.
