One thing you could do is retyping it and proof reading it or you could convert all the required materials into digital format using a scanner.<\/p>\n<p>Scanning the document only creates a digital image but cannot be interpreted by the computer. A computer can display, reproduce or edit the image, but not understand it. In order to make the computer understand the image there should be a technology which has the ability to look at the image and recognize the letters and numbers, and record it for further processing.<\/p>\n<p>Optical Character Recognition is a technology that enables you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into formatable and searchable data.<\/p>\n<p>What is OCR used for?<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Capturing the payment receipts and avoiding fraudulent transactions<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Digitizing books like Google Books<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Reading passport information at airports or border control<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Converting handwriting into digital text<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Scanning documents to help an organisation go paperless<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Clearing cheques by automatically confirming handwritten information<\/p>\n<p><strong>How OCR has become the game changer for business&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaggle.in\/expense-management.html\">expense management<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, expense management is one of the major areas which can benefit the most from automatic data capturing system.
