OCR (optical character recognition) is the recognition of printed or written text characters by a computer. This involves photoscanning of the text character-by-character, analysis of the scanned-in image, and then translation of the character image into character codes, such as ASCII, commonly used in data processing.

Prior Image Processing for Tesseract OCR

Tesseract OCR Introduction Tesseract is considered one of the most accurate optical character recognition (OCR) engines. However, it fails to deliver satisfactory results in the case of noisy, low-quality images. So, even though the character recognition doesn’t seem that difficult from a human perspective, Tesseract sometimes needs assistance. This article describes the steps we took… Read More »
