Introduction

The OCR system is used to convert images of text into letters, words, and sentences. It is widely used in various fields to convert/extract the information from the image. It is also used in signature recognition, automated data evaluation, and security systems. It is commercially used to validate data records, passport documents, invoices, bank statements, computerized receipts, business cards, printouts of static data, and so on. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
