This Free Online OCR service provides a fast and nifty way to grab the text out of any image you upload without the hassle of firing up a bloaty OCR program. Just browse to the image file – max file size 2MB – and upload. It can be a PDF, TIFF, JPEG, GIF or BMP.
Amazingly enough it works, and quickly. We tried it with jpg and PDF files and the conversion was instant. The PDF was converted flawlessly, the jpg image less so, but still readable. It’s kind of amazing that this sort of technology can be so effective that it’s given away on web site apps nowadays. Definitely a great tool to bookmark for the future.
