Hi,

I was looking for a camera that can be used for OCR. Can anyone suggest me a good compact camera?

I came across Vadzo Imaging’s [AR1335 Fixed Focus USB camera](https://www.vadzoimaging.com/product/ar1335-fixedfocus-4k-usb-camera/). Have anyone used it before? It is good for this purpose? Or should I search the market for some other. Kindly suggest.
