Primarily a database, which stores an unalterable record of transactions between users, each one time-stamped and linked to the former one so it cannot be altered or replicated. Each digital document or transaction in it is called a block, and the string of blocks is a chain, hence the name.

OCR vs. ICR: What Differentiates the two Character Recognition Software?

OCR being more cost-effective, hence if your office work revolves around the digital or hard copies than it might be the perfect on-budget tool for you. Furthermore, if you couple it with other technologies such as scanning and file compression OCR generates editable and searchable documents while being quick, easy and accurate. With Optical Character Recognition you may never have to manually correct or search through multiple pages, speeding the workflow within the organization. No need to retype the hard copies that OCR reads and converts into a word processing file, which furthermore works with a computer voice-over utility and thus is ease of access tool. ICR, on the other hand, specializes in converting multiple types of handwriting into digital characteristics. So, if you work on handwritten notes and manuscripts, Intelligent Character Recognition is what you need. Read More:
