What is OCR or Optical Character Recognition

OCR is a technology for optical character recognition and their extraction from pictures, scans and PDF files. The technology processes characters and turns them into a code that can be read by a computer. Each character is scanned separately, so you end up with full-fledged editable text files, not a set of JPEG images.

There are three main things to know about OCR technology that are hidden in the abbreviation:

Man recognizes symbols with his eyes and brain. The computer uses a scanner camera that creates a graphic image of a page of text. For a computer, there is no difference between a scan of a text document and an image: both are a collection of pixels.

By symbols we mean any composition of pixels or elements that form a letter. A distinctive feature of the technology: it works with both printed and handwritten fonts.

OCR uses a combination of technology and equipment. An optical scanner helps create a digital image. The OCR software identifies the letters in this image and converts them into words.

This method works by identifying the character as a whole. We can identify a line of text by finding rows of white pixels with rows of black pixels in between. In the same way, we can see where a single character starts and ends.

The recognition program converts an image file with characters into a binary matrix: white pixels are 0 and black pixels are 1. It then maps the character to a particular font letter.

The next step was to improve the accuracy of OCR. Later, artificial intelligence began to be used for this.

You know that it's quite easy to take words from a computer screen and transfer them to a physical sheet of paper - just press the print button and in a few moments the document will be in your hands.

But transferring a scanned paper document to your computer is actually a bit more complicated. Obviously, scanners are pretty straightforward to use, but they essentially only create a digital image of a document and store it on the computer. This image is usually not very clear due to file compression and dust particles in the scanner.

But most importantly, you cannot edit scanned documents with a text editor. This is because the scanner does not recognize every single character.

Here's how the OCR software understands what it's looking at:

• The data extraction process starts after you load the document.

• The first step is to cull artifacts so that the OCR program can focus on the text - it removes image and graphic defects.

• The OCR program straightens text and converts any colors or grayscale in the image to black and white. In this case, black is considered as symbols, and white is considered as background.

• The next step is to determine which characters are on the page. Simpler forms of OCR compare each scanned letter pixel by pixel against a database of fonts and decide on the closest match. More intelligent OCR technology breaks each character into elements such as curves and straight lines. It matches physical features and real letters.

• Sometimes OCR also uses a built-in dictionary to help recognize a word if it has been misspelled.

• When a character is identified, it is converted to an ASCII code that can be used by computer systems. Before saving for later use, the processed texts must be checked for errors.

This technology is remarkable in that it can be used in any industry where companies deal with text data. So, in essence, it is suitable for all departments: finance, legal, sales and marketing, HR, purchasing.

Some uses of OCR:

• Scan printed documents in versions that can be edited with conventional text editors.

• Indexing printed material for search engines.

• Automated data processing and entry.

• Transcribe documents into text that can be read aloud by visually impaired users.

• Data extraction and transfer to accounting programs (receipts, invoices).

• Placing important signed legal documents in an electronic database.

• Letter sorting for mail delivery.

• Translation of words in the image into the specified language.

• Provide search for scanned books.

Today, every company is trying to increase productivity without spending a lot of money.

You can help your current and potential clients improve the efficiency of their teams with OCR. Believe me, this technology will greatly enhance your portfolio of services.

Your customers know that their productivity drops when their team is overwhelmed with dozens of paper documents. Processing documents takes a lot of time, especially PDF files that cannot be copied, pasted or edited.

OCR helps extract data from such files and transfer it to the right systems. This reduces the number of routine tasks for accountants, lawyers, sales managers and other professionals.

Optical Character Recognition makes your customer teams more productive. This is a very important part of process automation. They can save many hours for employees and allow them to focus on increasing revenue for the company.

OCR technology can become part of your Automation-as-a-Service model. RPA and OCR have many complementary features. Having introduced one of the technologies, the company will sooner or later adopt the second one. As an IT service provider, you are more likely to build a stable income by offering these two technologies together.

• OCR helps you extract text from any image or file and edit it.

• Any company can start using OCR to reduce manual labor, resulting in increased revenue.

• OCR can be used in conjunction with other automation tools to increase productivity.
