This is the process in which scanning a document produces an editable or searchable soft copy of the original document. A standard scan of a document produces a picture of the page. This type of picture file cannot be edited in word processing applications nor can the words or numbers in the document be searched for. The OCR engine reads each line of text and translates it into editable and searchable text so that the scan can be opened in a word processing application, such as MS-Word, and the document content can be edited. No OCR engine is completely accurate. For best OCR results use good, clear originals and make sure that documents are properly aligned in the document feeder.
