From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Optical Character Recognition (OCR, sometimes /oh'k*/) Recognition of printed or written characters by computer. Each page of text is converted to a digital using a {scanner} and OCR is then applied to this image to produce a text file. This involves complex {image processing} {algorithms} and rarely achieves 100% accuracy so manual proof reading is recommended. (1999-08-26)
