Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for PDFs: A Digital Document Revolution
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the process of converting scanned or photographed images of text into editable digital text, such as in Portable Document Format (PDF). This groundbreaking technology has revolutionized the way we interact with and process written documents, making them easily searchable, editable, and shareable. A notable milestone in OCR development was the introduction of automated text recognition, freeing users from the tedious task of manual data entry and increasing accuracy and efficiency.
