ORC

ORC, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts images of printed or handwritten text into digital, editable, and searchable data. For example, when you scan a document or take a picture of a page, ORC software analyzes the shapes of the characters and translates them into text files that can be edited or stored electronically. It’s commonly used for digitizing documents, automating data entry, and making printed content more accessible in digital formats. ORC improves efficiency by eliminating manual typing and enables easy searching and sharing of text-based information.
