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!
