OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can solve numerous problems by converting printed or handwritten text into machine-readable formats. It streamlines data entry tasks by automating the extraction of information from invoices, receipts, and forms, reducing errors and saving time. OCR also plays a critical role in digitizing historical documents, making them searchable and preserving them for future use. In logistics, OCR aids in tracking packages by recognizing barcodes and labels. It is widely used in healthcare to digitize patient records and prescriptions. By automating text extraction, OCR enhances productivity and accuracy across industries.
