About OCR
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process by which text characters can be input to a computer by providing the computer with an image. The computer uses an OCR Engine-- a computer program with the specific function of making a guess which letter (recognizable to a computer) an image (recognizable to a human) represents.
Paperless includes an OCR Engine, which it uses to recognize text and numerical values. In order to understand how the OCR Engine in Paperless produces OCR results, it is useful also to understand how OCR Engines make these guesses.
The OCR Process
Here is a very-basic overview of how an OCR engine processes an image to return text contained in it:
A document or image is acquired by the computer
The document or image is submitted as input to an OCR engine
The OCR engine matches portions of the document or image to shapes it is instructed to recognize
Given logic parameters that the OCR engine has been instructed to use, the OCR engine will make its best guess as to which letter a shape represents
