How to convert Images or scanned PDF into docx, xlsx or txt files

Today, I am going to tell you a easiest method which drastically reduces your precious time on typing larger contents or notes form books. This trick is valuable when you need to type some contents from books or some other hard copy. There is a easier method which converts screenshots, images (jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff, pdf and DjVu), scanned PDF files into editable Office word-docx, excel-xlsx and text-txt files which allows you to easily copy the converted contents into your document. In certain cases pdf files may have watermarks which may cause inconvenience while submitting your report. This trick will permit you to take out the watermark from the document.

Requirements

  • You ought to have dynamic web association. (Be that as it may you can download different apparatuses on the off chance that you need to work disconnected from the net)
  • Hardcopy or softcopy of the record which you need to duplicate.
  • In the event that you have hardcopy you require a scanner or cam to change over it into picture.

Prerequisite

  • You should have active internet connection. (However you can download other tools if you want to work offline)
  • Hardcopy or softcopy of the document which you want to copy.
  • In case you have hardcopy you need a scanner or camera to convert it into image.

Convert scanned images into Office Word file

This conversion basically works on the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Technology.
Optical character recognition (OCR) is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. - Wikipedia

Simple procedure to convert images into Office Word file.


  1. Crop the image section which you like to convert (verify the image quality is adequate to read the content)
  2. Open onlineocr.net or newocr.com website the online conversion tool.
  3. Upload the image file and fill the Captcha and click on convert button.

I discovered two limitations in this conversion tool.

  • It only accepts to upload upto 5 Mb size of image or PDF files to be converted.
  • In some cases if the text on uploading picture is not clear the converted output texts will not be correct.

Note:

www.newocr.com has some liberal norms it permits you to Convert JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PDF, Djvu into Text However it doesn't have any upload file size limit. Also it has other options as described above.
