Use Adaptive OCR to extract text from images for high-throughput workflows. Best on printed text where speed matters; for hand-printed or mixed-content forms, use ICR instead.

OCR vs ICR

OCR (Adaptive OCR) is optimized for high-throughput extraction of printed text. ICR handles a broader range including hand-printed forms but is heavier. Reach for OCR first when the input is purely printed; switch to ICR when hand-printed content is present.
