You can draw a box around part of the image using your mouse and then OCR the current page. This is handy if you just want to get the text from one region of the page. I am going to use MS Word to recreate the document but you could use Open Office or publisher, in fact any program that supports columns and photos.
Now we have all of the text and images in Word you can play around positioning the text boxes and adjusting the font sizes to suit and don't forget to do a final proof read and spell check. The interface is also very dated and has not been optimized for the latest retina Macs.
Whenever you upload and sync clippings, documents or images to Evernote, it automatically does an OCR scan. The great thing is this includes not just printed PDFs but even handwriting although results with the latter can be very poor. You have no control over OCR scanning or over how long the scan takes. This option will only appear if OneNote has been able to scan the text in the image. If the text is unclear or the image is poor quality, the option may not appear at all as OneNote is unable to read it properly.
If it has worked, you can then copy and paste the text anywhere you want in OneNote or any other application. In our experience, OneNote requires fairly clear image and text quality in order to scan successfully. You may also find our look at OneNote for Mac alternatives useful. Note that this only works with documents or files smaller than 2MB and is l imited to the first 10 pages.
Elucidate is very easy to use. Once scanned in Elucidate, you can highlight text, spellcheck and add comments to text. Alternatively, you can export scanned PDFs to a simple TXT file that you can copy and paste into another document or edit.
We found that the accuracy of scanned text goes down significantly below resolutions of dpi but Elucidate is a great app for quick and easy OCR jobs and costs next to nothing. Tesseract has to be used from a command line interface on Mac. Space is a fast and easy to use online OCR conversion tool which supports a huge number of languages.
We like the fact that apart from uploading documents manually, you can drag and drop images or simply paste in the URL of a page that you want to scan. Note however that file uploads are limited to 5MB and the free version is limited to 15 images per hour. Free OCR to Word differentiates itself through advanced image processing capabilities. It provides image tools for better image preview.
Most of all, the selection tool lets you exactly get what you select. You can convert any portion of an image that you require. No need to convert a whole image at a time if it is not necessary.
PDF is one of the most favorite formats for its ability to retain document integrity. How would you do it?
It sounds obvious to just scan the book. But a …. What people thought was impossible is not! There is a software that can totally extract a text from an image or PDF file and output it as a Word file …. Internet is a huge and vast world where we can find almost everything we want.
For people who have had issues at the time of reading PDF files and images ….
