About

Optical character recognition (OCR) is a method of automatic data entry. OCR software is used to convert handwritten, type-written or printed text into data that can be edited on a computer. In simple systems, the paper documents are scanned with an image scanner. The OCR software then looks at the image and compares the shapes of the letters to stored images of letters. In this way, it makes a text file that can be edited with a normal text editor.

How it helps

It uses character recognition to convert the photo of the document into a text file. In many cases, the digital version will maintain the “look and feel” of the original. OCR makes it possible to make changes to the digital text. What can be done with the digital text depends on which reading software you're using.

OCR technology has proven immensely useful in digitising historic newspapers and texts that have now been converted into fully searchable formats and had made accessing those earlier texts easier and faster.
