On 15 December last year, Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, special assistant to the chief adviser of the former interim government, launched an artificial intelligence (AI) platform called Kagoj.ai. One of the services offered by the platform is optical character recognition (OCR), which can convert text in images or documents into editable Word files.
However, the government service appears to have very limited usage. Meanwhile, Google Lens, available on almost everyone's smartphone, can easily convert text from images or documents into editable Word files. Many other apps also offer this service free of charge. These apps were launched long before the government introduced Kagoj.ai.
