In this course, you will learn to integrate Microsoft Computer Vision API. This API provides multiple functionalities such as extracting text from images, describing the image in human-understandable language, and moderating the content of an image.

More specifically, you will dive into Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and image analysis, effectively giving you a toolset to analyze any image you want.

Integrating Microsoft Computer Vision API with Python

## What is OCR?

**Optical character recognition (OCR)** is a technique for recognizing and extracting textual characters from images. The text may be handwritten, such as photos of lecture notes, or printed, such as pictures of products or screenshots of online conversations. Microsoft's implementation of OCR enables it to recognize text in [various languages](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/computer-vision/language-support#optical-character-recognition-ocr).
