Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is used in a variety of situations. Businesses that receive a large quantity of mail that needs to be input to a computer, then archived (such as a bank or building society) - use OCR to scan incoming mail. This saves the time and man-hours that a human would take to manually input the data. Another use - would be to read a book to a blind person.

You teach the s'ware what each character represents (if it can't recognize it right away), and then it can be edited in a text editor program, like Notepad or Word.
