Question: What exactly is OCR and what is OCR software? I see these terms being mentioned but I don’t really know what they mean.
Answer: OCR stands for optical character recognition which is a tool that enables your computer to take scanned images and converts them into text documents. This not only makes the documents text-searchable but also text-editable. OCR software is just any software that contains an OCR engine.
