OCR = Optical Character Recognition

-

OCR font decoding is possible in some readers. OCR is not a robust decoder because it interprets pixel images to represent letters and numbers. If the printing is bad, or the image captured is too small, it may interpret letters incorrectly, like a 'W' may look like a 'U'. To add to the robustness, you may utilize an extra check digit.

Only Imager models will possibly have OCR functionality, and not all imagers have this capability. Use the newer model readers for better results, such as the OPI3301.
