OCR function undefined in 2014a?

I'm relatively new to MATLAB and am working through some examples. I have not been able to get this example to work. http://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/ocr.html#bt548t1-2_1
The error that keeps getting returned is
Undefined function 'ocr' for input arguments of type 'uint8'.
Error in ocrExample (line 11)
ocrResults = ocr(businessCard);
So far I have:
  • Double checked that I have version 2014a.
  • Ensured I'm typing into a script (not the command window).
  • Made sure I have the Image Processing and Computer Vision add-on installed.
  • imshow('businessCard.png') returns the image, so it's not an image location issue.
Could anyone offer some assistance?

What, if anything, shows up for
which -all ocr
>> which -all ocr
'ocr' not found.
This may occur if the Computer Vision System Toolbox is not installed. Type out VER in the MATLAB Command Prompt and see if you find this toolbox listed.
Thank you! I learned the Computer Vision System Toolbox is not part of my university license, hence the issues.
