What Does OCR Stand For?
OCR stands for Optical Character Reader
OCR, or Optical Character Reader, is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files, or images taken by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data. By using advanced algorithms, OCR analyzes the shapes of letters and numbers in images, recognizing and translating them into machine-readable text. This technology enhances efficiency in data entry, archiving, and document management across various industries.
