What is OCR (optical character recognition)?

Also called: Text recognition

OCR turns text in images or scans into editable text.

Example

You photograph an invoice, and the app reads out the date, amount and IBAN.

For pros

Classic OCR recognises characters; modern systems also understand layout, tables and handwriting, often with multimodal models. Poor scans cause errors such as 0 instead of O. Always double-check numbers like amounts and IBANs.
