Transforming Images to Text: The Magical World of OCR
Ever found yourself staring at a document, wishing you could just pull the text out of an image like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat? Welcome to the magical realm of OCR – Optical Character Recognition – where images get a second chance at life as text!
What is Image to Text?
In the simplest terms, ‘image to text’ is the process of converting any written or printed content in an image to a text format. Imagine all those glorious pages of your favorite book, now in a digital format! OCR technology is like giving your text a digital makeover, making it easier to edit, share, or even just read in bed without waking your partner. How romantic!
