Automatic Text Recognition (ATR) refers to the process of automatically acquiring digital textual data from a digitised analogue document, usually with machine learning technologies.
Tools for machine transcription of handwriting are practical and labour-saving if you need to analyse or present text in digital form. This lesson will explain how to write a Python program to transcribe handwritten documents using Microsoft’s Azure Cognitive Services, a commercially available service that has a cost-free option for low volumes of use.
Kick off your journey into Automatic Text Recognition (ATR) with our introductory tutorial video. This is the first video of a tutorial series dedicated to extracting full text from scanned images.
This tutorial explores where and how to find, create, and collect images of textual material, a crucial initial step in any process using Automatic Text Recognition (ATR).
