Best Answer

The full form of "OCR" is Optical Character Recognition. OCR can be used with any digital document (such as a PDF file) to extract its text and either create an editable text file, or a searchable PDF. Some scanner software includes OCR, so that when you scan a document, it is processed with OCR as it is scanned.
There's a free online tool at CVISION Tech's website if you want to try using OCR on any document file you might have.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is used in a variety of situations.
