OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that converts images of text into machine-readable text, enabling processing of scanned documents and photos.
What is OCR (Optical Character Recognition)?
Not all resumes are text-based PDFs. Candidates sometimes submit scanned documents, photos of paper resumes, or image-based PDFs. OCR converts these images to text before parsing.
Modern OCR achieves high accuracy even on low-quality scans, handwriting, and multiple languages. RecruitAI's resume parser includes built-in OCR for image-based documents.
