What is OCR?

OCR or Optical Character Recognition is an technique of extracting text from graphics. It allows to convert scanned paper documents or images made by digital camera into editable and searchable data.

How does it work?

OCR is based on quite sophisticated algorithms. First, the input document is analyzed and divided into small blocks: lines, words and finally separate symbols. Then each symbol is compared with a set of graphic patterns to find out what letter or digit it is. Here might the problem appear: sometime it is hard to destinguish one symbol from another. For example letter 'O' is similar to zero digit. Statistical analysis helps to solve such problems. The algorithm analyzes frequency tables of numerous symbol combinations. Assume that ambiguous symbol from example above follows the symbol recognized as 'N'. Combination of 'N' and letter 'O' appears more frequently than the same with zero digit. That's why the symbol will be recognized as letter 'O'.
