The age of digitization comes with many surprises – one day, you were writing each and everything with a pen on paper, and the next day you begin to type it on a computer. One day you were typing on a laptop, the next day you can scan a pre-written page, isn’t it awesome?
It surely is awesome. Let’s learn a little more about it!
Optical Character Recognition
Optical Character Recognition, commonly known as OCR, is the genie that made it possible to scan documents. The OCR is the electronic or mechanical translation of written, printed, or typed text images into machine-encoded text. It can be in the form of a scanned paper, a picture of a document, a photo, or a text caption imprinted on a picture. It is what we used these days to scan the documents onto our Mac.
It is no doubt that Mac and OCR both are groundbreaking inventions of the modern age and are highly popular. The key over here is “technology,” which means there is only so much it can do within its given capacity. Mac OS has limited capacity, and it cannot keep up with unlimited data; similarly, OCR might sometimes duplicate the files. Since we know that duplication is possible and there is only so much that we can keep on our Mac OS, we need to make sure we prevent cluttering.
We know you are looking for a solution too, and here we are with software that will deal with this issue. Remember, only a diamond can cut a diamond? Similarly, only software can deal with the crisis of software.
