Live text
Optical Character Recognition (OCR), also known as text recognition, is a functionality used to recognize printed characters from a scanned or photographed document. This functionality is available to both technician and customer on their respective consoles.
This feature comes in handy when you need to look into product labels, product manuals, or brand names remotely for problem solving. Using this feature, the technician or customer can scan any document directly in the session and use the results as needed.
