1). Optical Character Recognition - What’s it all about?
Optical character recognition, or ‘OCR’, is a technology that allows digital images of typed or handwritten text to be transferred into an editable text document. For example, if you hooked up a scanner to your computer and used the scanner to scan a handwritten essay into a digital photo, you could take that digital photo and use optical character recognition software to “see” and “grab” the text from the digital photo so you can edit that text on your computer in a program like Microsoft Word, Notepad, or TextEdit.
