# OCR

**OCR (Optical Character Recognition)** is used to extract details like **date of birth** and **name** from a predefined set of ID cards. To use this operation, users must include **"ocr"** in the operations list of their request and provide the required image data. The OCR technology then processes the image, analyzes the data, and returns the extracted information.
