OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It allows text from paper documents to be digitized to be searched or edited by other software applications. OCR converts typed or printed text from digital images of physical documents into machine readable, encoded text. This conversion allows Grooper to search text characters from the image, providing the capability to separate images into documents, classify them and extract data from them. | OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition.

The quick explanation of OCR is it analyzes pixels on an image and translates those pixels into text. Most importantly, it translates pixels into machine readable text. Grooper can be described as a document modeling platform. You use the platform to model how pages are separated out into documents, how one document gets put into one category or another, and how extractable data is structured on the document. Once you have this model of what a document is, how it fits into a larger document set, and where the data is on it, you can use it to programmatically process any document that fits the model. | |||
In order to do any of that, you have to be able to read the text on the page. How do you know an invoice is an invoice? A simple way could be locating the word "invoice" (or other text associated with the invoice). You, as a human, do this by looking at the ink on a page (or pixels for a digital document) and reading the word "invoice". Grooper does this by using a Data Extractor (and regular expression) to read the machine readable text for the page. OCR is how each page gets that machine readable text in order to model the document set and process it. | |||

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It allows text from paper documents to be digitized to be searched or edited by other software applications.
