Question:
Is OCR only effective for small blocks of text, such as the data fields on a bank check, or can it be used to accurately process the entire text of a lengthy document?
Answer:
OCR can definitely be used to process the full text of a long document. In fact, this is one of its most important uses. You can find academic papers, legal texts, and educational texts online, all of which have been OCRed. One of the best features of OCR is its accuracy in processing large amounts of text, so that you can then search through them easily to find the selections that you need.
