27. How do OCR searches work? Optical character recognition (OCR) WaitFor 8, text :ʺHats & Glovesʺ

28. How do OCR searches work? Optical character recognition (OCR) Examines arrangements of pixels on the screen Interprets the arrangements based on known words and characters

29. How do OCR searches work? Optical character recognition (OCR) Text elements Examines arrangements of pixels on the screen Interprets the arrangements based on known words and characters Independent of text font, size, color, typeface, etc. Hats & Gloves Hats & Gloves Hats & Gloves Hats & Gloves Hats & Gloves Hats & Gloves
