What is the use of optical character reader?
An Optical Character Reader (OCR) is a combination of software and a hardware document scanner. A document (such as a letter) is scanned with a flat-bed or roller scanner and read into a computer. That computer image (or picture) of the letter is then interpreted by the OCR software. The software generates a text file of the information that is in the image. That text file can be viewed, edited, printed, Etc. just as though it was created in a word processor. OCR software has come a long way. Early OCR programs were only marginally accurate. Today, they are much, much better. An OCR program can save lots of time re-entering text into a computer document file from a keyboard. However, you will still have to VERY CAREFULLY proof-read your document to catch the errors.
