What is OCR and what is it used for?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) converts text that appears within an image or a scanned document into real, selectable text. It is perfect for digitizing notes, invoices, contracts, books, screenshots, or any paper document without having to manually rewrite it. Our engine automatically recognizes Spanish and English.
