Tesseract (OCR Engine)

Tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) software that converts images of printed or handwritten text into editable digital text. It analyzes the visual patterns within an image, recognizing letters and words by comparing them to learned text data. Tesseract is highly versatile and can process various languages and fonts. It is often used in document scanning, digitizing paper archives, and extracting text from images for further editing or analysis. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between visual information and machine-readable text, making physical documents searchable and editable in digital environments.
