OnlineOCR - Free online OCR service

If you need to convert the graphic files to the text file, and do not have the necessary software utility on hand, you can always use the free online Optical Character Recognition software for the same purposes. It will help you to extract text from PDF and images (JPG, BMP, TIFF, GIF) and convert into editable Word, Excel and Text output formats, saving time and efforts.

You can use OCR service without any software files being installed on your computer or mobile device. Recognize text and characters from PDF scanned documents (including multipage files), photographs and digital camera captured images.

Convert text and Images from your scanned PDF document into the editable DOC format. Converted documents look exactly like the original - tables, columns and graphics.

There are two operational modes, offered by the developers: Guest Mode and Standard Mode. Both modes are free to use, but the Standard Mode requires registration and the logins.
