It’s easier than you think OCR Everywhere! It’s easier than you think Yurika Vu & Vanessa Herndon * California School for the Blind

What is OCR? Optical Character Recognition (OCR) OCR technology recognizes text within images such as scanned documents, photos of text, and PDFs. OCR converts this kind of text into digital text data. Once a scanned paper document, image, or PDF goes through OCR processing, the text of the document can be read aloud, edited with word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

When could you use OCR? Print paper forms Signage Menu Bus and transportation schedules Nutrition information and labeling Street and building signs PDFs Signage- think of the DMV Menu- behind the counter menus (cafes)
