Have you ever heard of the word OCR. If you answered yes, what does it do? Well, continue reading along because I will be explaining what OCR is before I proceed to provide some useful information about the technology. First of all, OCR is an initial that stands for Optical Character Recognition. This is an advanced technology that allows people to convert images and paper documents into PDF files that can be edited. Let us assume that you want to convert a paper document to an editable PDF file. To do this, you will need to start by scanning the hard copy document using a scanner. Once you have a scanned copy of the document, you will need to use a PDF application to scan through the document. There are several software programs on the internet that can be used to scan through image-based documents to make it editable. The goal of OCR scanning and conversion itself is to make image-based text into text itself.

Benefits of using an OCR program

So, are there any benefits that accrue to you when you use OCR software? The short answer is yes. There are several benefits that you will get when you use OCR software to make image-based PDF documents editable. The first advantage is that it will save you a lot of time in the long term. Using OCR feature will help you to save a lot of time that you would otherwise spend rewriting documents so that you end up with two versions of the same document. One of the documents will be a non-editable digital version and the other one will be a word-based copy that you can edit.

With OCR, all you have to do is simply scan the document you want to convert and then activate the OCR feature. This way, the image is captured as real editable text. After you have converted the image to text-based PDF document, you can then use a PDF to word converter to change it to a word document that you can then edit and change as much as you want.

Other benefits of OCR

The other benefit that is associated with OCR is that it allows you to convert documents to a format that you can search easily. Instead of searching for through a huge pile of words one by one, you can easily search for a specific word you intend to find. If you digitize the document, you can even search for specific keywords on your computer.

There are PDF OCR features that allow you to choose between automatic and manual text recognition. The manual option is usually the better alternative because it lets you decide how the OCR engine interacts with your image.

Last words…

OCR search is a very useful tool that is often used when you want to make a PDF document searchable. With this feature, you can easily maneuver through a PDF document and locate specific words and phrases. You can also edit the various pieces of text when you get them in the document.
