OCR, an acronym for Optical Character Recognition, is a technology developed to translate graphical text into editable text. This technology is especially useful when scanning pages of printed text document. For example, you have a paper document that you want to get onto your computer to edit or to share with others via a web site E-mail. Using the OCR software, you don't always have access to the electronic version of the source document and besides, retyping documents is very time consuming!

However, it only works best under specific conditions such as:

1) When most text were typed or printed.

2) When the text portion of an image were scanned at 300 dpi

under Line Art mode.

Difference between image processing and OCR?

Image processing involves manipulating and analyzing images to enhance their quality or extract information, applying techniques like filtering, transformation, and compression. Optical Character Recognition (OCR), on the other hand, is a specific application of image processing that focuses on converting different types of documents, such as scanned paper or images of text, into machine-readable text. While OCR relies on image processing techniques to identify and interpret characters, it has a narrower scope centered specifically on text recognition.


Why are OMR more accurate than OCR?

OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) is generally more accurate than OCR (Optical Character Recognition) because OMR is specifically designed to detect predefined marks, such as checkboxes or filled bubbles, which have clear boundaries and formats. In contrast, OCR must interpret varied handwriting or printed text, leading to potential misrecognition due to font variations, layout differences, or poor image quality. OMR's focused functionality reduces ambiguity, resulting in higher accuracy rates for tasks like data collection from forms.


What is the equivalent to OCR level 2 in adult numeracy?

The equivalent to OCR Level 2 in adult numeracy is typically considered to be the Functional Skills Level 2 in Mathematics. Both qualifications assess learners' ability to apply mathematical skills in practical contexts, such as budgeting, measuring, and data interpretation. Achieving this level demonstrates a good grasp of numeracy necessary for everyday tasks and the workplace.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of an optical character reader?

Ocr- Advantage: Human-readable Disadvantage: Not accurate, because it first compares to a list then the one closest is chosen.


Over consolidation ratio decreases with depth why give reasons?

The over-consolidation ratio (OCR) decreases with depth primarily due to the increasing vertical stress from overlying soil layers, which leads to greater consolidation of the soil. As depth increases, the historical maximum pressure that the soil has experienced—its preconsolidation pressure—also increases, resulting in a lower OCR. Additionally, deeper soils are often subjected to more geological processes, such as compaction and settlement, which can further reduce their over-consolidation status. Consequently, deeper soils tend to behave more like normally consolidated soils, exhibiting lower OCR values.
