We talked Metadata as Document Management System components in our last post, today we are going to talk about OCR.
Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text.
OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and machine vision. Though academic research in the field continues, the focus on OCR has shifted to implementation of proven techniques. Optical character recognition (using optical techniques such as mirrors and lenses) and digital character recognition (using scanners and computer algorithms) were originally considered separate fields. Because very few applications survive that use true optical techniques, the OCR term has now been broadened to include digital image processing as well.

Hi,
Your blog is very useful on Optical character recognition Technology as part of Document Management system. I have visited the http://www.leadorganizer.net/ site. I like your post on OCR Technology as part of leadorganizer.
Hi,
I like your post on Optical Character Recognition related to Document Management. I also like to visit http://www.leadorganizer.net/ too for Lead Management & Leadorgnizer Software. I like your post on OCR Technology as part of leadorganizer.
Hi,
Such as nice blog you have here on Optical Character Recognition as a feature of Document Management. The way you are defining about OCR is understandable. Maybe today I will be visit http://www.agencyorganizer.com/and http://www.leadorganizer.net/ sites again hopefully.
