A private bank in Mumbai deploys a system that reads scanned cheque images and converts the handwritten and printed text into machine-readable data. Which AI technology is principally at work?

The system uses optical character recognition backed by computer vision. It analyses scanned images and extracts text as machine-readable data. Speech synthesis, reinforcement learning and blockchain consensus do not process images of text, so they do not describe cheque image reading.

Explanation

Converting images of text into machine-readable characters is the job of optical character recognition, which relies on computer vision techniques. Speech synthesis produces audio from text, reinforcement learning learns through rewards, and blockchain consensus validates ledger entries; none reads images.
