Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the digital or mechanical translation of typed, handwritten or printed text images into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a document photograph, a scene photograph (such as a text on signs and billboards in a landscape photograph) or a subtitle text superimposed on a frame. This is usually a difficult task as most such images can be very difficult to read even. Most applications that boast this feature have very low accuracy when converting the text.
