What is OCR?
Optical character recognition (OCR) works with your scanner to convert printed characters into digital text, which allows you to listen to it on your computer or edit it in a word processing program.
There are many benefits of scanning your documents using OCR:
• No more retyping
If you would like to listen to the content of your text book, you don't have to retype it on your computer; instead just scan your book, and our software will upload it onto your computer and turn the text into speech.
• Edit text
Once you've scanned your document using OCR, you have the option to edit the text within a word processing program of your choice.
• Accessibility
OCR software is a useful Accessibility or Ease of Access tool. Users can scan books, magazines, incoming faxes, or other documents into a word processing programs to be used in conjunction with NaturalReader
