Scan2Text

Scanned images or on-screen text can prove quite troublesome, especially if you cannot extract their textual content in order to edit it. For situations like these, there are certain software solutions, one of them being Scan2Text.

The program allows you to extract text blocks from certain scanned documents, PDFs or on-screen windows and areas, then export it to a text editor, such as Microsoft Word or the built-in Notepad. In order to properly function, it is recommended that you have Microsoft Word installed on your computer, along with a scanner device.

The application scans certain uneditable documents, such as PDFs, scanned text files or on-screen windows, then it extracts any detected text blocks, allowing you to easily modify it.

You can select any area of your screen and extract all the text detected in it, then edit and use it at your own documents.

Scan2Text can be used to extract and edit text blocks that cannot be normally edited or copied for usage. For instance, you can extract text from a scanned document using the application’s OCR(optical character recognition) feature, then edit it and save it as a Word document.

You can extract text from any area of the screen, providing that there is any readable textual content there. As an example, you can select the area occupied by a window that contains a text block that cannot be selected or copied, then let the program extract it for you.

As a conclusion, Scan2Text can save you of the hassle of manually writing a text from an uneditable scanned document or image, by extracting it directly from that file and exporting it to a text editor on the spot.
