How we made our optical character recognition (OCR) code more accurate

What is optical character recognition? Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that recognizes printed or handwritten characters from digital images or scanned documents and converts them into machine-readable text. This technology has revolutionized document processing, enabling the extraction of information from paper-based documents and converting it into editable and searchable digital formats. OCR systems use advanced algorithms to analyze the shape, size, and location of characters in an image, matching them to a database of known characters. The result is the transformation of visual data into readable text. Advancements in OCR technology driven, by machine learning and AI, have significantly improved its accuracy. OCR is now widely used in applications such as document scanning, data entry automation, and text-to-speech technology for people with visual impairments.
