OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, which is basically a technology that is able to turn images that visualize some kind of text into an editable document containing text that you can use in many different ways. Of course in order to scan and turn an image/PDF/photo into text you would need a good software program made with such features. We recommend you get FreeOCR 4.2.2 - the latest release of the app and has a great list of enhanced features. Some of then are multi page Twain Scanning, OCR whole document in one go, etc. Our reviewers have tested and evaluated it right here: http://freeocr.softplanet.com/
