What do you do if a piece of text/paper you have had on your PC goes missing after problems with its hard drive? If you had taken out a printout earlier, then you are in luck. There are apps, desktop as well as mobile, that can re-scan the paper back into your PC.
The tech is called Optical Character Recognition (OCR). It allows just about anyone to convert different types of documents, such as scanned text, PDF or even photos clicked on your mobile computing device digital camera into editable data. Normally, when text is scanned into a computer without the OCR software, the computer is unable to “read it”. That’s where an OCR program comes in. It converts the characters on that page into a text or JPG document that can then be understood by your computer. More & more OCR tools & apps keep coming into the market so we decided to highlight the same.
