Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that uses advanced algorithms and pattern recognition techniques to analyze and interpret text within digital images or scanned documents. It allows for the automatic extraction of text from these visual sources, enabling users to search, edit, and manipulate the content electronically. OCR plays a crucial role in various applications, such as digitizing printed materials, automating data entry processes, enhancing accessibility for visually impaired individuals, and facilitating efficient document management systems.
