Scanning Secrets

Today's tip will help you if you must scan documents that contain images and text. In a recent issue of Kim Komando's Download of the Day email newsletter that I just got around to reading, she wrote about a free app that makes text editable.

Free OCR is an optical character recognition app that identifies text in an image and lets you pull it out and make it editable.

You upload a scanned image or a photo of the document to the site in any of these formats: JPG, GIF, TIFF or BMP. The software is for Windows XP, Vista, Win 7; and OS X.
