OCR

Optical Character Recognition, technology that converts images of text (from scanned documents, photos, or handwriting) into machine-readable text. Modern OCR uses deep learning to achieve high accuracy even on distorted or handwritten text.

In practice

OCR enables banks to automatically process check deposits by reading the handwritten amount from a photo.
