Optical Character Recognition (OCR) With AI: V7 Text Scanner Tutorial
OCR is a form of computer vision that involves taking an image and using an ML system to read the text from it. This technology can be used to quickly transcribe and recognize printed or handwritten text into digital form. It can be used to extract text from a variety of image formats, or even videos.
In today's tutorial, we are going to take a look at V7 and its pre-trained AI model for automatic text extraction from images. We will also look at how to retrain or fine-tune such a model to suit a particular use case or language.
