How can I extract text from an image on my computer?
Hi everyone, I have some images that contain important text, and I plan to extract the text into an editable format (like Word or plain text). I know this is usually done with OCR, but I'm not sure ...
You can extract text from an image using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools. Many free tools like Google Lens, Microsoft OneNote, and online OCR websites allow you to upload an image and automatically convert the text inside it into editable text. If you are using Windows, you can also use the Snipping Tool with text extraction features or apps like OneNote. These tools quickly scan the image and let you copy the detected text. There are also many guides online that explain how OCR tools work and how to extract text easily from images.
