What are the options for integrating optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities into a desktop application?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities can be integrated into a desktop application using various options. Two popular options are using OCR software development kits (SDKs) and utilizing OCR APIs. SDKs provide libraries and tools that developers can use to incorporate OCR functionality directly into their applications. This allows for more control and customization but requires coding knowledge. On the other hand, OCR APIs offer pre-built OCR services that can be accessed via API calls. This option is quicker and easier to implement but may have limitations in terms of customization. Both options have their advantages and drawbacks, so the choice depends on the specific requirements and technical expertise of the development team.
