Conclusion
Charles Wilson, a freelance writer and journalist, describes the key differences between his system and others [1], saying that:
"It's about the work being done. Data entry is about punching keys at a keyboard. OCR is about copying letters from paper onto a screen."
In this regard, he goes on to say that:
In truth there are two main types of OCR systems: optical character recognition (OCR) and data entry. Both types can be used in any office environment where there is paperwork to be processed. However, one will create more accurate results than the other, with data entry systems being somewhat "cheaper" than their OCR counterparts [2].
