OCR

(Optical Character Recognition) a type of system comprised of hardware and
software that is capable of scanning text or images into a file with a user having
the ability to edit the material. There is a great advantage to using OCR be-cause
when text is scanned using an ordinary optical scanner, the image is
stored as a bitmap (in simple terms, one large picture). The OCR, on the other
hand, allows the user the ability to edit the scanned text as though it were
entered using a word processing program.
