What is OCR?
OCR stands for optical character recognition. OCR software uses optical technology to recognize text characters in digital files that are otherwise not machine-readable. In other words, OCR software uses the outlines of shapes in an electronic document to identify letters, numbers, and other symbols, making entire documents fully text-searchable.

Benefits of full text OCR
On of the benefits of being able to OCR an entire text is that all of the contents of that documents become text-searchable. In the long run, this saves you a great deal of time by enabling you to work with the text in scanned documents just as your would with computer-generated text files. You can find passages that you need, copy information, and perform other operations.
