What Is OCR?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. This technology analyzes images containing text and converts them into digital, editable, searchable text. AI-powered OCR has dramatically improved accuracy and now supports dozens of languages, including Arabic and English, with near-perfect results on clean documents.
When Do You Need OCR?
- Extracting text from scanned document images.
- Converting text screenshots into copyable text.
- Digitizing old paper documents.
- Extracting information from photos of invoices and receipts.
- Converting book page images into searchable digital text.
