What is OCR Software?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software is software that converts different types of documents—such as scanned paper documents, PDFs, or images—into editable and searchable text. OCR software analyzes the shapes of characters in the document and translates them into machine-readable data. This technology is particularly useful for digitizing printed documents, allowing businesses and individuals to archive, edit, and search through physical content more efficiently. By using OCR software, organizations can save time, reduce errors, and improve document accessibility while making information easier to manipulate and manage. Compare and read user reviews of the best OCR software currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Grooper
    Grooper is an AI-powered intelligent document processing (IDP) platform for organizations that cannot accept black-box answers. It classifies documents and extracts data from any source: paper, PDFs, email, faxes, handwriting, and legacy archives. What makes Grooper different is control. Roughly 57 extraction methods span rule-based and AI families, chosen per field, so AI is a choice, never a dependency. ReadScope lets you set exactly what the AI reads for every field; the model can't misread what it was never shown. Every extracted value keeps its receipt: where it came from, how it was extracted, what the AI saw, and who checked it. One system covers scanning, OCR (6 engines), classification, extraction, human review, redaction, and delivery. Deploy on your hardware (including AI on your own GPUs), in your cloud tenant, or hosted by BIS, the self-funded Oklahoma City company that has built document technology since 1986.
