                    HOW AI WORKS IN DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS

                 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in various areas in real life like character recognition,
                 face recognition, speech recognition, and many more. With the use of AI, some of the
                 technologies become very powerful. In this chapter, we will discuss how AI works in some

                 of the applications.
                 Optical Character Recognition

                 Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technique
                 to convert an image of text or physical document into
                 editable form. It is also known as text recognition.

                 How does OCR work?

                 Now, let us understand the steps involved in any
                 OCR program:
                 1.   A paper document is read by a scanner and converted into a machine-readable form.
                 2.   The letters, numbers and symbols are examined by OCR. It identifies the patterns,
                     uppercase and lowercase, etc.

                 3.  At the end, OCR process the characters and converts them into computerised files.
                 Role of AI in OCR

                 Before the invention of OCR, converting physical text documents to digital was done
                 manually. It was a time-consuming process, and several retyping were required to make
                 it error-free. With OCR, the task has become easy. Once the document is converted into
                 digital form, editing is easy. With artificial intelligence (AI), handwriting interpretation has

                 become accurate. AI is playing an important role in the effectiveness of OCR. It ensures
                 that these documents are converted with the greatest possible accuracy.
                 Areas where AI-Powered OCR is Being Used

                 There are various areas where AI-powered OCR is being used. Some of them are as follows:
                    •  Document are scanned using OCR.
                    •  Robots use OCR to scan barcodes in the warehouses and find stock.

                    •  In bank, AI-paired OCR technology is used to scan a cheque from the front and back,

                     validate it and match it with the amount you deposit in the account.
