OCR - Definition
OCR is an abbreviation for Optical Character Recognition. It is the means of translating images of handwritten or typewritten text usually captured by an optical device into text which can then be edited. For instance, when your computer scans in text, all it sees are graphical bits on a virtual page. That text is not usable, searchable, or editable. If you pass the page through an OCR program, the software converts the graphic shapes into a text document. However, few documents are perfectly recognized but the conversion is often faster than typing text manually.
