Introduction to OCR (formerly ChatOCR)

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, as implemented in the ChatOCR assistant, is designed to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDFs, or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data. This assistant leverages advanced OCR capabilities to accurately extract text from images and documents, providing users with the ability to process and utilize the extracted text for various purposes. The design purpose of OCR (formerly ChatOCR) is to facilitate the digitization of physical documents and improve the efficiency of text handling processes. For instance, a user can scan a printed contract and convert it into an editable digital format, making it easier to search for specific terms or make revisions.
