How Does a Photo to Text Converter Work?

A photo to text converter uses OCR technology to recognize and understand a picture's words. It scans the image and looks for patterns and shapes that resemble letters and words. Then, it converts those patterns into text by checking them against a database. For example, if the tool finds a pattern consisting of two slant lines joined at the bottom, it will match that against its database and recognize it as a V.
