ITPEC IP October 2025 Question 23
ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 23 of 100
Recognize printed or handwritten characters and convert them to text data — this is optical character recognition.
OCR analyzes an image from a scanner or camera, identifies character shapes, and produces machine-readable text that can be searched, edited, indexed, or processed without manually retyping the document.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) describes very-short-range wireless communication such as NFC
- (c) describes speech synthesis or text-to-speech
- (d) describes a touch-panel input mechanism
Key rule: OCR converts character images to text; speech recognition converts audio speech to text, and synthesis performs the reverse direction.
