Preferred term

optical character recognition  

Definition(s)

  • Optical character recognition (OCR) uses machines—computers and sometimes other peripherals such as scanners—and software to recognize printed text characters. OCR enables users to digitally “read” and store printed text, thereby reducing the amount of typing required for inputting text. [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; Optical Character Recognition]
