What does OCR mean?

[DragonCub]

It is common to see, in the AS&A-level books as well as IGCSE textbooks, right following some of the practice questions, the label sign: (OCR). My teacher says that means the question is a model one for CIE examinations or at least of the same value as a CIE question.
But I still want to know what exactly OCR is, and what relations it has with CIE.

Well i m Computer Studies Student and their OCR is a device in a scanner and it stands for Optical Character Recognition. I don't know who it is linked with CIE!!

What I refer to are the "OCR"s at the right side of the page.

Thanks Math_Angel. Is OCR on the similar knowledge level as CIE? Some of the CIE questions are said to be adapted from that of OCR exams.

Yeah since they are for same level and syllabuses are similar so they're gud to practice....just as IGCSE students practice O level questions....
