OCR (Optical character recognition) is a method of extracting the texts from an image and turning it into an editable document. When a page is scanned, it is typically stored as a bit-mapped file in TIF format. When the image is displayed on the screen, we can read it. But to the device, it is just a series of black and white dots. The device does not recognize any "words" on the image.
This is what OCR does. OCR looks at each line of the image and attempts to determine if the black and white dots represent a particular letter or number. OCR was actually developed originally to assist sight-impaired individuals gain access to printed information.
Anyway, these OCR apps are really useful for extracting text from image. You can edit your documents after your text is extracted from image.
