Description
**** This course is a quick starter for people who would like to become Computer Vision - Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Specialist ****

Optical Character Recognition commonly called as OCR is the new buzzword in industry which is driving digitization in the enterprises. Every enterprise wants to adopt OCR to achieve easier and quicker access to their streams of data in digital format. An OCR implementation not only speed up the workflow of Text processes across various industries but also help in providing better customer experience. In fact, as per a recent research report, OCR market which was around 7.2 billion US Dollar is expected to see a huge growth in market size and will reach 13.4 billion US dollar by 2025.

Enroll in this course to get a complete understanding of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for Data Extraction from Images and PDF using Python. The course explains the theory of concepts followed by code demonstration to make you an expert in computer vision OCR. It provides hands-on guidance on Text Detection with OpenCV and Deep Learning Models, Text Recognition with Tesseract and OCR along with Text Labelling through Spacy and Regular Expression. It guides you to create technical solutions on most relevant OCR uses cases in the industry
