In this tutorial, the speaker discusses optical character recognition (OCR) through a demonstration of pattern and feature recognition. OCR, which has evolved significantly since its early days, eliminates the need for manual typing of printed text. Early advancements in OCR were made by Ray Kurzweil in the 1970s, leading to the development of technology that could recognize text in various fonts. Kurzweil and his team's work also contributed to speech synthesis, enabling devices to read printed text aloud. The speaker highlights the considerable improvements in OCR's speed and accuracy over the years, showcasing its significance in modern technology, such as GPS navigation.
