Extract Text from Scanned Copy to Excel Sheet by using OCR

Today's uses of OCR are still somewhat limited to the scanning of the written word into useable computer text. The uses include word processing, mail delivery system scanning, ticket reading, and other such tasks. It is a tedious and time consuming process to list out data of each candidate, manually check them against documents submitted, resulting in delay and wastage of valuable resources. Multiple merit lists often leads to duplication of work for the institution, even candidates/guardians have to visit again and again to check the latest merit list. One of the current hopes for OCR is the chance of developing OCR software that can read compressed files. Text that is compressed into an image and saved as ASCII or Hexadecimal data could be read by OCR and transferred back into readable text. The objective of the study is developing the "Extract Text from Scanned Copy to Excel Sheet by using OCR" as there are many software to extract text from images. While installing a new software, use Image processing Concept which can fetch the text data from scanned copy as there is no need of Internet connection.
