OCR Basics

Part of the AI Engineer Roadmap.

Summary

Optical Character Recognition — extracting text from images or scanned documents — a common practical use case combining vision and NLP.

How to Learn This

  • 1Run a pretrained OCR tool (Tesseract or a Hugging Face OCR model) on sample images.
  • 2Learn how preprocessing (deskewing, thresholding) improves OCR accuracy.
  • 3Combine OCR output with an NLP pipeline for a document-processing use case.
