It is broadly used as a form of data entry from any sort of original paper data source, whether school or business documents, receipts, mails, passport documents, or any printed records. It is a usual way of digitalizing printed texts so that they can be electronically edited, searched, stored more compactly, displayed online, and used in machine processes such as text-to-speech, text mining, machine translation, etc. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. Almost close to perfection, but Optical Character Recognition still has its flaws. This led the researchers do some further enhancements on the said algorithm mainly: Unable to recognize some ASCII Characters, unable to recognize properly-aligned slanted words, and, unable to convert exponents and subscripts accurately. The researchers used survey method for the gathering of data for us to know the user's view about OCR. The researchers recommend people to use the further enhanced application, but, if users still experience some drawbacks, feel free to improve the algorithm for the benefit of other users ER -
