Short for Optical Character Recognition and is a technology that converts different types of text, such as scanned documents, printed text, or images containing text, into machine-readable and editable text. OCR identifies characters by analyzing their shapes and translating them into digital text that can be edited, searched, and stored. Commonly used for digitizing printed documents and extracting text from images, OCR is widely used in applications like document scanning, data entry, and automated form processing.
