What is OCR Technology?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the technology that converts images of text into machine-readable text data. VisiScanner uses advanced OCR powered by Google Document AI to read business cards with exceptional accuracy.
Unlike basic OCR scanners, VisiScanner's AI understands context. It knows the difference between a name and a company, between a phone number and a fax number, making your scanned contacts immediately usable.
