-Optical character recognition (OCR) allows you to extract printed or handwritten text from images, such as posters, street signs and product labels, as well as from documents like articles, reports, forms, and invoices. Microsoft's **Read** OCR technology is built on top of multiple deep learning models supported by universal script-based models for global language support. This allows them to extract printed and handwritten text in [several languages](./language-support.md), including mixed languages and writing styles. **Read** is available as cloud service and on-premises container for deployment flexibility. With the latest preview, it's also available as a synchronous API for single, non-document, image-only scenarios with performance enhancements that make it easier to implement OCR-assisted user experiences.
