Optical Character Recognition Systems

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems are technology that convert printed or handwritten text into digital data that computers can process. They work by analyzing images of text, identifying characters based on shape and pattern, and then translating them into editable and searchable digital formats. OCR is used for digitizing documents, reading license plates, or extracting text from scanned images. It combines image processing and pattern recognition techniques to accurately interpret various fonts, handwriting, and layouts, making physical text easily accessible and manageable in the digital world.
