I recently received a very good report and was eager to share parts of it with my blog readers. Unfortunately, I could not do so as the presentation was in the form of a JPEG image and there was no way I could copy a portion of it. I then realized that an online tool, Free OCR, also known as Optical Character Recognition can be used to convert images into machine editable text.
Free OCR Online
When a document is scanned, the scanner essentially takes a screen shot of the document and presents it to you as an image file. OCR Readers essentially does the exact opposite by producing a text format of the image file it is processing. To perform this conversion, you need to upload the file via their website and then get the results.
There are high chances that you may end up with garbled text that is out of order when compared to the image. However, this online tool is beneficial as you would not need to type down the text content of the image to reuse them. Some formatting on your part is all you need to do to re-use the information within these image files.
