What is OCR?

Optical Character Recognition

📖 Definition

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that reads and extracts text from images. In KYC verification, OCR scans your ID document to automatically read your name, date of birth, ID number, and other details. When OCR fails to read your document clearly, you get rejection errors like 'unable to read document' or 'text not clear'.
