Applications of an OCR system


An OCR system is widely used to convert/extract the text (the alphabet and numbers) from an image. The OCR system is widely used to validate business documents, in automatic number plate recognition, and in key character extraction from documents. It is also used to make electronic images of printed documents searchable and to build assistive technology for blind and visually impaired users.
