I’ll be inclined to use Convertio again, but it also seems that Microsoft has got behind with this little corner of Office 365.
Click the Scan button and confirm the scanning device and settings. This icon is located in the HP folder in the Applications folder at the top level of the hard disk. It seems that it has a much better recognition engine than OneNote. Scan a document to editable text (OS X) Load the original print-side down on the scanner glass or print-side up in the automatic document feeder.
The main issue was that the text was tiny – 4pt – but that was reasonably easy to fix up. It did a much better job with only 3 or 4 errors, text converted correctly to two columns in a Word document, and a table converted to a Word table. I found Convertio which has a straightforward introductory service with no registration or ads for the first 10 pages. Alternatively, use Google Drive or Dropbox to add a file.

So I looked for a better solution online, trying to avoid ad-laden free OCR sites of unknown quality. 1 Upload a PDF by clicking the corresponding button or via drag and drop mechanism. You will receive the text in the container, where you can copy the text to the clipboard. Our tool will automatically convert the jpg file into text. I am not sure, for example, how the word “score” got recognized as “scMe”. To extract text from a JPEG: Upload or drag & drop your image. The results were not completely useless but included lots of errors words missing and words wrongly recognised or scrambled. This normally works OK but not this time. There are of course a million ways to do this and I recall that every multifunction printer used to come with an OCR facility but what is the easiest way now? For a while I’ve used Microsoft OneNote for this, you just paste in an image, right-click, and there is a Copy Text from Picture option: I was emailed an attachment scanned from a magazine it was a nuisance and I wanted to convert it to text.
