Have you got an image that contains a lot of text and you want that entire thing as a text file. May be you downloaded some image from google books but simply cant copy text from it. It would be a real headache to type the entire thing isn't it..?
Luckily, there are tools on the internet that can allow us to save time.
One of them is www.free-ocr.com
OCR stands for optical character recognition, i.e it identifies characters from the image and outputs as text.
Step 1.>
Let us suppose we have this image and we want to get the text.
Step 2.>
Open www.free-ocr.com and upload the file.
Step 3.>
We get the desired text as the output.
Notice that you get some unwanted text at some places but that can be easily removed...its still better than typing the whole thing.
You will also get better results if you use an image that contains black text on a white background.
So, next time you have an image and want the text out of it...you know what to do.. : -)
