OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that reads printed or handwritten text from images or documents. In the automotive world, OCR is used to scan VINs, license plates, or car titles, turning them into digital data for faster, error-free vehicle identification and processing.

OCR scanning captures text from physical sources and instantly turns it into usable digital information. In Vincario, you get a full vehicle report from VIN number including make, model, engine size, fuel type, year of manufacture, emissions, dimensions, weight, and registration details.
