How to extract TEXT from images


Many time you want to get text from an image file to a text file you have to type everything into notepad. This is really difficult especially if the text is long and you are a novice typer. An easier alternative is using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. There are many online services providing you with this. But I am going to teach you a little trick to extract text from images using a software included in the Microsoft office package called OneNote.

Step 1: Goto Start menu > All programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft OneNote.

Step 2: Copy and paste the image into OneNote.

Step 3: Right click the image in one note and select Copy Text from Picture.

Step 4: Now open notepad and press Ctrl+V.

Step 5: Correct any spelling errors.
