Abstracts: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process that translates the images of typewritten scanned text in or to machine editable-text or pictures of characters into a standard encoding scheme representing them in ASCII or Unicode. An OCR system enables us to feed a book or a magazine article directly into an electronic computer file and edit the file using a word processor. Though academic research in the field continues, the focus on OCR has shifted to implementation of proven techniques. OCR and Digital Character Recognition were earlier considered to be separate fields; but are now considered within one branch. Earlier systems required training to recognize fonts. Intelligent systems with high degree of recognition accuracy are now commonly seen. Some systems are now capable of handling pictures and tabular data inside given documents. However these methods are still very much in their infancy and require a lot of effort to become polished. What we have created in our OCR software is a lightweight, accurate, speedy recognition software which can handle most kinds of data and automate the data entry process. We have built a software that automates data entry from various type documents into a proper editable format which the user demands
