Introduction - OCR

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a service that extracts information from various types of images, such as photos, PDFs, and handwritten files, and converts them into machine-encoded text. This eliminates the need for manual data entry in certain business applications.

Many cloud vendors like Google, offer original OCR services. However, insureMO OCR service acts as an adapter that connects various OCR vendors like Google, and provides a unified interface to consumer applications.

The insureMO OCR service consists of two parts: the OCR Configuration Console and the OCR APIs.

Users can choose and configure the OCR vendor in the insureMO OCR Configuration console.

Once the configuration is done, the user’s application can integrate and call the OCR API.
