Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts a text image into machine-readable text. In R, the package ‘tesseract’ does that in one step using the ‘ocr’ function.
Here is the text image (‘OCR02.png’).
The R program reads the image and gives the results.
library(tesseract)
text <- ocr('D://Program/OCR02.png')
print(text)"Suppose one person, call him Sender, wishes to persuade another, call her\nReceiver, to change her action. If Receiver is a rational Bayesian, can Sender per-\nsuade her to take an action he would prefer over the action she was originally going\nto take? If Receiver understands that Sender chose what information to convey with\nthe intent of manipulating her action for his own benefit, can Sender still gain from\npersuasion? If so, what is the optimal way to persuade?\n"
