As its name suggests, Free OCR to Word is an application created to help you deal with conversion tasks that require the use of OCR techniques. OCR stands for “optical character recognition” and represents a well-known method of extracting text from images and scanned documents and outputting it to digital file formats that can be read, displayed, and used by any computer software. This tool spares you the need to tediously type by hand the text from a scanned file or from an image, as it can automatically recognize that text and convert it to a fully editable digital text file.

Free OCR to Word is capable of creating MS Word documents from the text extracted from scanned images. As soon as the text is detected, it can be saved to a TXT text file or copied to a new Word document. The text can be extracted from scanned images of various file formats, including JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, or even Photoshop PSD files.

This handy tool can automatically recognize specific text areas in an input image, but in case the automatic recognition is not accurate enough for your needs, you can use several image manipulation utilities like a selection tool, a rotating function, or a zooming feature and manually select the text areas.

As for its previous versions, Free OCR to Word offers the same neat interface that provides you with two side-by-side panels which let you easily compare the text selections. more

How can I change the language of OCR? When I converting it into Word, then the language is changed automatically to Spanish, though my image file is in the English language.
