It is a technology used to convert scanned or printed documents, images, or handwritten text into machine-readable and editable digital text. This means that if you have a physical document or an image file containing text, OCR software can read the characters on that file and turn them into editable content using a computer.

For example, if you scan a printed page of a book, the result is just an image and cannot be edited or searched. But with OCR, the text from that image is recognized and converted into an editable format like a Word document or plain text. This makes it easier to store, search, and work with the content digitally.

OCR is widely used in offices, banks, schools, and government organizations to digitize printed forms, invoices, ID cards, and books. It helps reduce manual data entry, saves time, and improves efficiency.
