How to use OCR with PHP?

The rise of artificial intelligence has significantly driven the development and adoption of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies, which convert various digital and handwritten documents into machine-readable text. Originating in the 1950s, OCR has evolved into a crucial component of computer vision and artificial intelligence, widely used across industries such as banking, healthcare, and law enforcement. OCR technology involves image pre-processing, statistical property extraction, and post-processing to identify and reconstruct text. Users can choose between open-source OCR engines, which offer customization and privacy but require self-hosting, and cloud-based OCR engines, which provide robust performance and maintenance but involve data transit through provider servers. Alternatively, companies with data science capabilities can build proprietary OCR solutions. Eden AI offers an innovative API that integrates multiple OCR providers, allowing users to switch seamlessly between them and optimize performance for their specific data requirements.
