Media, image, and document formatsLevel 0–3

Orientation

Document OCR preserves page layout or recovers text from scanned document pages. At this level, separate purpose, input, and visible result. Place Document OCR within Media, image, and document formats before changing settings or files.

Exercise

Try it safely

Check whether text is embedded or only an image when search finds nothing. Open an isolated test environment and run “file sample.bin”. Write down the expected output first, do not alter production data, and record one safe next diagnostic step.

file sample.bin

Quick check

Can you explain the purpose, observable state, and most common failure source of Document OCR — Media, image, and document formats in one sentence each? Which evidence would you preserve before changing anything, and which repeated test would prove that the correction actually worked?
