# Computer Vision v4.0 Read OCR (preview)

# OCR for images
18+
19+
OCR traditionally started as a machine-learning based technique for extracting text from in-the-wild and non-document images like product labels, user generated images, screenshots, street signs, and posters. For several scenarios that including running OCR on single images that are not text-heavy, you need a fast, synchronous API or service. This allows OCR to be embedded in near real-time user experiences to enrich content understanding and follow-up user actions with fast turn-around times.

## What is Computer Vision v4.0 Read OCR (preview)
1822

1923
The new Computer Vision v4.0 Image Analysis REST API preview offers the ability to extract printed or handwritten text from images in a unified performance-enhanced synchronous API that makes it easy to get all image insights including OCR results in a single API operation. The Read OCR engine is built on top of multiple deep learning models supported by universal script-based models for [global language support](./language-support.md).
