What is OCR?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It allows software to recognize text contained inside scanned documents and images.

- Attempts to recognize printed text.

- Allows the recognized text to be downloaded.
Important limitations
OCR accuracy depends on the quality of the scanned document.
Blurred, rotated, handwritten, very small, or heavily damaged text may not be recognized correctly.
Large PDFs can take considerable time because each page has to be rendered and analyzed.
