Do I need both Computer Vision System Toolbox and Image Processing Toolbox to use OCR?

I saw OCR function is included with the Computer Vision Toolbox, but many examples also use Image Processing toolbox. Do I need to buy both of them to get the best performance?

According to the System Requirements & Platform Availability page, Computer Vision System Toolbox requires MATLAB and Image Processing Toolbox and recommends about a dozen other products each of which should enable additional functionality. Since the ocr function is part of Computer Vision System Toolbox you will need to have Image Processing Toolbox to satisfy the system requirements of that toolbox.

Yes, unless you can develop an OCR from scratch, you will need Computer Vision Toolbox to use OCR. Image processing toolbox is also required since you will also want to visualize the images and many important image visualization tools such as imshow() are packaged with it.

For visualization purposes, you might be able to get away with image() and imagesc() which don't require any toolboxes.
