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.

OCR (optical character recognition) is a function of a scanner system for a computer used to take paper documents (or what have you) with writing on them and convert it to a format that a PC can read and edit. This, because it's a function of a scanner, makes it an "input" device. Hope that helps!
