Optical Character Recognition Market Size & Forecast Report, 2014 - 2025

Synopsis:

The scope of the global Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Market was appreciated at US$ 5.27 billion during 2018 and is projected to record a CAGR of 13.7% from 2019 to 2025. It is estimated to touch US$ 13.38 billion during the forecast period.

The technology of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is put into practice to transform official content on papers into a digital system. In other words, it processes documents or images using an optical character recognition apparatus and yields typescripts that can be further documented and studied. It utilizes several methods to transform handwritten scripts and images into text, pdf, or any additional editable set-ups.

The digitalization of business establishments has made every procedure quicker and additionally manageable. As companies are observing technical progressions, data is becoming a serious part of development. As soon as the data is transformed into a digital system, it can be treated using computers and a range of devices having the capability of computing. This data is easy to store, access and share. Those companies, formed before the era of digitalization, turned out to be a standard in the sector of enterprise initially. They have also started utilizing tools like optical character recognition to transform their physical information into the alphanumeric method. The technology likewise discovers growing use in the sectors of Healthcare and BFSI for generating digital replicas of invoices, checks, and additional documents.

The technology of optical character recognition is likewise being extensively utilized for translating available information in text form into speech using the assistance of text-to-speech equipment, thereby making it reachable to visually impaired and blind persons. Additional uses of the tools consist of separating documents in law firms and courts and letters by post offices, together with maintaining cultural and historical manuscripts, individual documentation, and handing out orders, invoices, and additional official papers.
