	Optical Character Recognition
     
         (OCR, sometimes /oh'k*/) Recognition of printed or
        written characters by computer.  Each page of text is
        converted to a digital using a scanner and OCR is then
        applied to this image to produce a text file.  This involves
        complex image processing algorithms and rarely achieves
        100% accuracy so manual proof reading is recommended.
