In today's world, access to information is a basic necessity. Information must be searchable and properly indexed, so that finding it becomes very easy and quick. Unfortunately, not every file format allows searching, thereby making it extremely difficult to find the right information.

Suppose you have a book which is getting old, and you want to convert it into electronic format so that you can store it forever. When you scan the book, it will either get converted into an image format or a non-searchable PDF. Retrieval of information from this file will become a big problem, unless it is converted into a file format from which information can be searched easily.

This conversion from a non-searchable file format into a searchable one is done by a process called Optical Character Recognition or OCR through software that is specially designed for this. These applications can recognize the text from images, and thereafter transfer it into a searchable file format that is readable by Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and many others. There is an advanced technology which works under the hood to achieve this. However, as long as we have access to the right kind of software either hosted online, or installed on your computer, we can all go for optical character recognition of the valuable books and documents that we want to store for a long time.

Though OCR has its undeniable advantages, the process itself is often complicated and laborious. If you are scanning a document or a book which is voluminous, then unless you have loads of time in your hand, doing this by yourself will prove to be extremely tedious.
