It is widely used as a form of data entry from some sort of original paper data source, whether documents, sales receipts, mail, or any kind of scanned. It is a common method of digitizing printed texts, documents, sales receipts, mail or any scanned documents so that they can be electronically searched, edited, stored more compactly and displayed online.
