TopOCR 3 – edit text within images
TopOCR3 (OCR stands for optical character recognition) is a free application that lets you manipulate the text within an image. You can edit the text in program as common as Notepad.
Like any software, TopOCR is not perfect, but there are some tweaks that will help you get the most out of this product. Before trying to recognize the text within an image, you should modify the properties of the picture, like color, contrast and other. After TopOCR has done its job, you can play with the text in order to make it suit your needs. The file can be saved as an HTML or PDF document. As a bonus, you can even convert a piece of text into an audio format; this feature is called TextToSpeech.
In the picture below, I have scanned a page and in my opinion the results are amazing. Why pay a couple of hundred dollars when you have TopOCR3?
