How to Extract the Text from an Image?

Did you ever download an awesome wall paper that had a lovely message in the background and you wished if you could set that over some of your snaps? Well, you can always do that through photoshop and all. But it takes so much of time and energy, no? What if there was a genie who could just cut the text out of the photo? Yes seriously. Its possible. JOCR enables you to capture the image on the screen and convert the captured image to text. It is useful to revive the protected files whose text can not be copied.  JOCR enables you to copy text from any files and images on the screen such as protected Web pages, PDF files, error messages.  The program offers several capture modes.

JOCR requires Microsoft Office 2003 or higher version. If JCOR does not work, manually install Micorosoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) that is included in the setup file of Microsoft Office. You can find MODI under Office Tools of the setup file.

• Works remarkably well; OCR conversion is instant and the results are respectable (no OCR recognition is ever 100% accurate)
• Can clip any area or window on the desktop, or the entire desktop.
• Results are dumped into a notepad text file, where they can be edited and/or clipped.
• Does NOT require JAVA (despite the name).
• Extremely small footprint; very low on resources.
