Abstract

Abstract: OCR is a short form of Optical character recognition or optical character reader. By the full form, we can understand it is something that can read content present in the image. Every image in the world contains any kind of object in it and some of them have characters that can be read by humans easily, programming a machine to read them can be called OCR. In machine learning, data mining is one of the major sections that cover the extraction of the data from the different platforms. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is part of the data mining process that mainly deals with typed, handwritten, or printed documents. These documents hold the data mainly in the form of images. Extracting such data requires some optimised models which can detect and recognize the texts. Getting information from complex structured documents becomes difficult and hence they require some effective methodologies for information extraction. In this article, we will discuss OCR with IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding API, a deep learning-based tool for localizing and detecting the text in documents and images.
