Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology applied to digital items that allow searches to look for keywords within the item, not just the metadata.
Most items in the following formats are OCR'd on AMP:
- Book
- City Directory
- Document
- Image
- Map
- Newspaper
- Periodical
- Transcript
- Yearbook
Items formatted as Document- Handwritten|Scan are not OCR'd because the OCR technology was unable to accurately scan the text due to poor quality.
