The OCR technology revolutionizes the way we interact with documents, making them easily searchable, editable, and adaptable to various digital formats.
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. In the context of PDF files, OCR refers to the technology used to recognize and extract text from scanned documents or images within the PDF. This allows the text to be searched, copied, edited, and manipulated just like text in a regular digital document, even though the original document may have been a scanned image or a non-editable PDF.
It enables users to perform tasks such as searching for specific words or phrases within the document, copying text for reuse in other documents, and editing the content as needed.
Image acquisition is the first step in OCR technology, where your phone is used to scan a document and convert it into binary data. This process is crucial in providing the necessary data for the OCR software to begin the extraction.
Upon scanning, the OCR software analyzes the image and converts it into binary data. This means the software separates the light and dark areas, with light as the background and dark as the text.
This transformation allows the software to differentiate text from the image, facilitating efficient character extraction.
At the core of OCR technology lies text recognition, employing two primary methods:
1. Download Scan.Plus mobile App
2. Scan your document
3. Tap on Edit
4. Select Image to Text
