Optical character recognition (OCR) refers to the process of scanning printed or typed text and converting it into machine-encoded text that can be indexed and processed. OCR is primarily used for digitizing physical documents such as forms, invoices, and books. It is not used for converting spoken words to text, predicting handwritten words, or scanning image files.
