Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is one of the most practical applications of computer vision. Using Python and OpenCV, you can build a document scanner that captures, deskews, and extracts text from physical documents — no expensive hardware required. What You’ll Need Python 3.8+ OpenCV (pip install opencv-python) NumPy Tesseract OCR + pytesseract (pip install pytesseract) …
