Optical Character Recognition:

A type of computer software designed to translate images of handwritten or typewritten text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text, or to translate pictures of characters into a standard encoding scheme (such as ASCII or Unicode). OCR began as a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and machine vision.
