How Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Works
OCR is a complex technology that converts images with text into editable formats. OCR allows you to process scanned books, screenshots and photos with text and get editable documents like TXT, DOC or PDF files. This technology is widely used in many areas and the most advanced OCR systems can handle almost all types of images, even such complex as scanned magazine pages with images and columns or photos from a mobile phone.
