About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original volume and its condition at the time of scanning. Volumes with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.
