Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology used to convert scanned or digital images into editable text. OCR has become an increasingly important tool in the fields of data extraction and information retrieval, allowing for quick and efficient conversion of scanned documents and digital images into text. In this paper, we explore the use of the Python programming language to implement OCR algorithms and systems. We provide a comprehensive overview of existing Python libraries and packages used for OCR, including Tesseract and pytesseract, along with their strengths and limitations. We also examine the different OCR approaches and techniques, including template matching, feature extraction, and encrypting/decrypting the OCR parsed files and discuss their implementation in Python. Finally, we present a case study of a simple OCR system built using Python and evaluate its performance on a sample dataset. The results of our study highlight the potential of Python for OCR implementation and demonstrate its feasibility for real-world applications.
