Optical character recognition (OCR) is a technology that accurately recognizes printed and written text characters by a computer. A typical OCR system consist of several components which may include optical scanning, location segmentation, preprocessing, feature extraction and recognition post processing. This involves photo scanning of the text, analysis of the scanned-in image and the conversion of character image to character codes. OCR software is also used to extract data from scanned documents or camera images that enables the user to access and edit the content of the original document. OCR is unique as it does not require control of the process that produces the information, however other techniques are also prevalent for automatic identification that include speech recognition, radio frequency identification and bar code reader,. The entire document management process has been revolutionized as the industry verticals adopted OCR technology in their business processes. Major industries where OCR technology is widely used includes banking, legal, healthcare, education, finance and government.
