Tesseract

Tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) software that converts images of text—like scanned documents or photos—into editable, digital text. It analyzes the visual structure of the image, recognizing individual characters and words, much like how humans read. Developed by Google, Tesseract is free and widely used for digitizing printed material, making it easier to search, edit, and store text digitally. It works with many languages and can be integrated into various applications to automate the process of transforming images into usable text data.
