Though there are some other applications capable of doing a fine job,for the benefit of this tutorial we'll be making use of “GT TEXT”
GT Text [Ground Truth Text].
Like mentioned above,GT Text is a 'freeware' software which allows its users copy text from picture files easily without having to pass through the stress of writing-out/re-typing every bit of words in a picture.It comes handy when you're dealing with tasks involving images with words/quotes im-printed on it.
Sometimes,you might even take shots just for the texts in it e.g Taking images of an event's address on a poster/Bill board etc....
- Visit the Software's download page [65MB] and download the latest version of the freeware.
- Once downloaded,install the program and run it.
- From the File manager that pops up,select which type of image you want to copy texts from and browse to the folder containing the image.
Supported images include .jpg, .png, .gif, .BMP, & .TIFF. - Next,select “Open” and when the image finish loading,click on the “Area Text OCR”
- Now,click and drag your mouse to highlight from the image the area you want to copy,then release the mouse.
- When released,an instruction pops-up.Just click on “Continue” to copy the highlighted section to the clipboard.
- Now,open your notepad and paste the text there.
So either way,all text appearing on the image will be automatically saved to the clipboard.
Thereafter,you can do whatever you please with the text i.e editing,saving...THAT'S ALL. Hope you get the most out of the software.
