    OCR (optical character recognition) is a technology that uses optical scanners to recognize printed or written text and convert it into digital text. It works by scanning text character by character, analyzing the scanned images, and translating the character images into character codes. OCR is used to process checks and credit cards, automatically enter data into computers, and eliminate the need for specially designed fonts. The process involves scanning text with an optical scanner, converting the image to binary bitmap form, and using software to recognize the characters.

    OPTICAL

    CHARACTER
    RECOGNITION
    (OCR) - Neha Gupta
    Meghna Jaiswal
    What is OCR ?
     OCR (optical character recognition) is the
    recognition of printed or written text
    characters by a computer. This involves
    photo scanning of the text character-by-
    character, analysis of the scanned-in image,
    and then translation of the character image
    into character codes, such as ASCII,
    commonly used in data processing.

    Why we use OCR ?
     OCR is also used to process checks and credit card
    slips and sort the mail.
     It is the method of scanning, coupled with the higher
    speeds and more compact computing power, has led
    to the concept of Image Processing.
     OCR has been used to enter data automatically into
    a computer for dissemination and processing. The
    earliest of systems was dedicated to high volume
    variable data entry.
     To increase the accuracy of reading, that
    is, to reduce rejects and substitutions
     To reduce the sensitivity of scanning to

    read less-controlled input


     To eliminate the need for specially

    designed fonts (characters), and


     To read handwritten characters.
    Process of OCR
    Types of OCR

     MachineBased (In-line)
     PC Based
    OCR Functioning with
    Scanner
    Working of OCR
     The Optical scanner is a device used to read
    an image, convert it into set of 0’s and 1’s
    and store in the computer’s memory.
     If there is dark representation done in a figure
    then it is represented by 1. If there are no
    dark spots in the fig then it is represented by
    0.
     It converts an image to equivalent bitmap
    form.
    What are the advantages ?
     OCR advantages are that it can easily & quickly
    convert printed text into an electronic & editable form.

     The data through the OCR can be read fast as


    compared to other recognition device.

     Significant cost saving as no paper used.

     Reduces long term storage requirement.


    What are the Dis-
    advantages
     OCR cannot ?
    convert text or data
    accurately, or at all sometimes, if there are
    any stray marks or voids of any kind within
    the scan area that are not supposed to be
    there.
     OCR accuracy and capability depend

    largely on quality of software & hardware


    being used.
     There are several limitation when it comes

    to human handwriting.
    Applications
     Banking
     Legal Industry
     Healthcare
     Education
     Finance
     Government agencies
     Education
     Business houses
     Retail industry
    Upcoming technology with
    OCR
    ICR (intelligent character recognition)
    Used for recognizing handwritten text on paper hence
    removing restriction of printed text.
    BCR (bar code recognition)
    Used to scan bar code of a product in order to retrieve
    information like price.
    OMR(Optical markup recognition)
    Used for template matching and then retrieving only
    the desired data like forms.
    Conclusion

     It is one of the most powerful emerging


    technology.
     It is reliable and a powerful tool for data entry
    system.
     As more enterprises are working on this
    technology soon it will achieve 100%
    accuracy thus making dream of paperless
    world true..
