The comparisons of OCR tools: a conversion case in the Malaysian Hansard Corpus development / Anis Nadiah Che Abdul Rahman ...[et al.]
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a tool in computational technology that allows a recognition of printed characters by manipulating photoelectric devices and computer software. It runs by converting images or texts that are scanned beforehand into machine-readable and editable texts. There are...
