Optical Charater Recognition using Tesseract and Classification

摘要

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process or technology in which text within a digital image is recognized. It is mainly used for converting the transcribed, handwritten or any printed text to the text data that can be edited and reused. With rapid pace of technology, people want quicker, handy and reliable tools, which can fulfil their daily needs. With this moto we had gone forward and analyzed the existing tools and made up this WebApp, which provides seamless experience (No ads and easy-to-use), and great accuracy. While OCR technology was originally developed for recognizing the printed text, it can be used to recognize and verify handwritten text as well. The objective of this project is to allow automatic extraction of the information that a user wants from the paper document and using it wherever it is needed. This leads to reduction or sometimes eliminating the work of costly data entry. We also aimed to enable a way in which processing of the documents will lead to eliminate the human touches and therefore dramatically reducing the process time and the cost.
