OCR

Optical character recognition (OCR) converts printed or handwritten characters in images into machine-readable text.

It reads text out of photos and scanned pages.

OCR matters for enterprise buyers and researchers because it signals a concrete technical approach rather than a marketing category. Matching companies by technology helps compare vendors that share methods even when they sit in different sectors.

• Product features that explicitly rely on OCR
• Platform or pipeline tooling built around OCR
• Operational workflows where OCR is the primary AI method disclosed by the company

What does the OCR tag mean on Brel?

It means Brel assigned the tag after reviewing the company profile and public product or about materials that support this capability. Tags are not paid placements.

Can a company have multiple technologies?

Yes. Most companies receive between three and eight technology tags when evidence supports them.
