What is the main function of the UiPath.OCR package?

The primary function of the UiPath.OCR package is to provide Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines that facilitate the digitization of printed or handwritten text. This capability is essential for automating processes that involve reading text from images, scanned documents, or any visual content. By utilizing OCR technology, the package can effectively convert these formats into machine-readable text, which can then be processed or analyzed further within automation workflows.

The significance of this function lies in its ability to enhance the automation of routine tasks, particularly those that involve large volumes of documents or data entry where manual input would be inefficient and prone to errors. Therefore, by offering various OCR engines, the UiPath.OCR package supports the automation of document processing and retrieval based on text recognition.
