Free OCR to Word

A lot of people use scanners for transforming paper documents into digital ones, which can be stored on the computer's hard disk. Having a digital copy of all your documents can help you organize them more efficiently and can help you store them safer, as a paper document can be easily destroyed.

But the problem with digital documents is that they cannot be edited after they are created. Fortunately, with the help of certain applications, this can become possible. The process of transforming scanned documents into editable text is called OCR and is supported by several Windows programs.

One such program is Free OCR to Word. The application allows you to automatically convert any scanned document into a regular one, which can have all its text edited.

After the application has been installed, the user just needs to open the scanned document into the program's interface and then click on the OCR button. Free OCR to Word is compatible with a large number of image formats and supports all sizes.

But besides importing scanned documents and running the OCR over them, Free OCR to Word also supports scanning directly from any TWAIN-compatible device. This means that any scanner can be used together with the application and this will save a lot of time, as the user won't need to use a separate application for this purpose.

After the desired document has been scanned and turned into editable text, the user will be able to either copy the text into cliboard or export it to a Word document.
