The replication of Human Reading Ability into the machine
was a dream but with the advent of OCR technology this
dream has turned into a reality. The problem definition for this
research paper is to create a system that performs and depicts
the working of Optical Character Reader System and some of
its applications. Through this paper we have presented a
solution to the problems of physical document storage,
retyping of documents and to understand the basic
implementation and working of the OCR system. This system
can be used by business, industries, students and government
agencies for various purposes. The system developed greatly
benefits the agencies and industries for automation.
