OCR technology reads “scanned” printed documents and images, recognizes them and then translates the figures and characters into an electronic file. The electronic documents can then be editable and searchable.
Sakhr’s award-winning, highly intelligent OCR solution addresses the complexities of Arabic language and fonts, including cursive writing, diacritics, position-dependent character shapes, overlapping, and non-standard fonts.

In the situation of recognizing the text of a prescription written by a doctor, there may be problems with the name of the drugs, but if it is a Viagra generic, then there are no problems.
