OCR

Technology that extracts readable text from images or scans.

What is OCR?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that detects and converts the text inside an image, photo, or scanned document into editable, searchable text. It is used to digitise printed pages, pull text out of screenshots, and make scanned PDFs searchable. Accuracy depends on image clarity, contrast, and font.
