Optical Character Recognition, often referred to as OCR, is a technology that enables you to convert text store as pixels in different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data. But can your Windows operating system perform OCR? Yes, but there’s a catch.
Windows 10 and 11 have OCR models built in accessible to developers via the Windows OCR API. In order for Windows users to use these models, they need to use a Windows app like Text Grab. By default Text Grab uses the Windows OCR models which means OCR is fast, accurate, and done on machine.
