Online text recognition
In order to recognize text on any scanned documents, it is not always necessary to install programs specialized in this area. You can use online versions of scanned text recognizers that allow you to work in any modern browser. You should also choose this option to recognize any scanned text if there is not too much of this text. As for online text recognizers, there are quite a lot of them today, but let's look at a few of the most popular services of this type. I would like to immediately note that we will consider those online services that provide high-quality text recognition and free of charge.
A text recognition service such as Google Docs is quite popular. This service provides many opportunities for recognizing texts in different formats. But there is one thing. To start working with this service you will need to register with Google. It won't be difficult to do this.
It is worth noting that this service has a limit on the size of the text that will need to be recognized. PNG, JPG, and GIF format files and PDF should not be more than 2 MB. As for saving recognized documents, after recognition they can be saved in the following formats, namely in the following formats: DOC, TXT, PDF, PRT and ODT.
For those who do not want to register anywhere, but just want to perform text recognition, another service is suitable. It's called OCR Convert. This service is also free and supports major file formats.
The recognized text here will be saved as link url, which has a TXT extension. This link can later be inserted into the file you need. As for the limitation on the size and number of documents that can be recognized at one time, you can upload 5 documents at a time, but their size must be less than 5 MB.
Well, another good online service for text recognition is the NewOCR service. There is also no need to register here. And the big advantage of this service is that there are practically no restrictions. This service is able to recognize several files of different formats at the same time. The recognized text can be saved in 6 formats, namely TXT, DOC, ODT, RTF, PDF, HTML. There are many more different online services for text recognition. But it is these three online services that have the main qualities that will help you recognize different types of files. These services are of good quality, are free, and have virtually no restrictions.
