Have a PDF document or an image that you would like to convert to text? OCR, Optical character recognition. It’s a mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text.  Online OCR service can help take an image of text and turn it into an editable copy.

You can upload documents in a variety of formats like PDF, TIFF, JPG, and other image files as well as a ZIP of your document. Without creating an account you can convert documents up to 1MB in size and 5 pages long.  Creating a free account allows you to upload documents that are 20MB in size and longer than 5 pages. When you signup for a free account you get free 5 credits good for 5 pages of converted documents, so you can try out the service. Credits are as follows 30 pages – $3, 60 Pages – $5, 100 Pages – $7, 200 Pages – $10.  Not a bad deal in my opinion and a pretty awesome service

You can convert a PDF with columns into a Word document with columns and so on. Converted documents look exactly like the original – tables, columns, bullets and graphics.
