What is OCR?

OCR, short for Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts printed or handwritten text in scanned documents and images into machine-readable data. Traditional OCR systems rely on predefined rules and character patterns to identify and extract letters, numbers, and symbols.

It has been widely used for digitising physical documents, automating data entry, and enabling keyword searches in scanned files.

While OCR alone can digitise documents, it struggles with variable layouts, handwriting, or noisy images. That’s where
AI-enhanced OCR comes in.

How Optical Character Recognition works

The process of Optical Character Recognition typically includes:

image

Image capture

Scanning or photographing the physical document.

image

Processing

Enhancing the image for better clarity (e.g., de-skewing, noise reduction).

image

Text detection

Identifying zones in the document that contain text.

image

Recognition

Matching pixel patterns to letters and symbols.

image

Text output

Producing digital text files or searchable PDFs.

While OCR alone can digitise documents, it struggles with variable layouts, handwriting, or noisy images. That’s where
AI-enhanced OCR comes in.
