 The [OCR skill](cognitive-search-skill-ocr.md) extracts text from image files such as JPGs, PNGs, and bitmaps. It can extract text as well as layout information. The layout information provides bounding boxes for each of the strings identified.
 
-The OCR skill allows you to select the algorithm to use for detecting text in your images. Currently it supports two algorithms, one for printed text and another for handwritten text.

 ## Embedded image scenario
 
 A common scenario involves creating a single string containing all file contents, both text and image-origin text, by performing the following steps:

 Optical character recognition (OCR) skill recognizes printed and handwritten text in image files. This skill uses the machine learning models provided by [Computer Vision](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services/computer-vision/home) in Cognitive Services. The **OCR** skill maps to the following functionality:
 
-+ When textExtractionAlgorithm is set to "handwritten", the ["RecognizeText"](../cognitive-services/computer-vision/quickstarts-sdk/csharp-hand-text-sdk.md) functionality is used.
-+ When textExtractionAlgorithm is set to "printed", the ["OCR"](../cognitive-services/computer-vision/concept-extracting-text-ocr.md) functionality is used for languages other than English. For English, the new ["Recognize Text"](../cognitive-services/computer-vision/concept-recognizing-text.md) functionality for printed text is used.

+Previously, there was a parameter called "textExtractionAlgorithm" for specifying whether the skill should extract "printed" or "handwritten" text. This parameter is deprecated and no longer necessary as the latest Read API algorithm is capable of extracting both types of text at once. If your skill definition already includes this parameter, you do not need to remove it, but it will no longer be used and both types of text will be extracted going forward regardless of what it is set to.
