How many times you wanted to extract text from image took
you way more time than it should have been? Converting that particular piece of
information makes a big chunk of your time & efforts. Even now if we try to
select any paragraph, copy it: you would be able to paste it in a word
processor, but it wouldn’t be possible to choose a particular piece of text
from an image.
Let’s say you want to forward a beautiful piece of a quote
from a Pinterest, pin to a friend, or there is a cool paragraph you wish to use
from an image. You would either have to write it down or can use a vast verity
of Image to text converters available online.
Now software is made more intelligent and sophisticated to
understand alphabets and numeric digits in an image. It is then converted to an
editable text document in a matter of seconds.
This complex AI not only understands the standard English
language but 50 languages. It’s made possible by using OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) technology. This technology is used everywhere to convert any
images, i.e. pdf, JPEG, screenshots and could convert it into an output file
you desire.
You don’t need any expensive software or fancy tools to do
so. Let’s try to help our self create a text file using one of those free
tools.
So how to extract text from images? It’s simple,
1- If you are
using Windows 8 or above, click on the Start Manu and find Microsoft’s NoteOne.
It is free software, and it even comes pre-installed in all Windows 10
operating systems as well.
2- Find the image
you want to extract text from it could be in any format.JPEG .jpg.PNG or even
.pdf file. Open the image (containing the text) from NoteOne.
3- Using your
mouse, hover over the image and right-click on the image.
4- You will see a
menu box option “Copy Text”. Click it
5- Text including
in the image would be stored as text in the clipboard and would be ready to be
pasted in any word processor.
6- Paste (CTR+V) in Word processor and you will find the
desired text would be posted there.
Image to text is completed in 6 easy steps.
NOTE: If you are using the old version of the Windows App
store, you might come across text errors but updating them would solve the
issue.
If that’s too complicated for you, then you can also use a
free online OCR service. With 99+ language support, you can convert your
image’s text in any language you want. Any document you upload gets deleted
from the website for an extra layer of security. You can also choose from 4
different output file format, whichever suits your needs.
All you have to do is to Click on “Choose file” from
Input. It will open a Dialog box, from where you can choose the image you want
to extract text from. Choose language & output format. Press
“Convert”. We found it to work great
with various formats of images, but sometimes it adds some additional words
which could be edited to make it more presentable.
