Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for performing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of an article. The method comprises acquiring an image of the article. The image of the article is scanned using predetermined scan settings. Then, textual regions of the scanned image of the article are identified. The OCR of the at least one of the textual regions is performed using predetermined OCR settings. One or more textual regions of the textual regions are marked upon determining an error in performing the OCR of the one or more textual regions. The OCR of the one or more textual regions is iterated as per one or more predefined OCR scanning parameters based on an OCR quality of the one or more textual regions upon marking the one or more textual regions.
