how to Copy Text From Any Image

Do you need some information in the form of text from scanned copies of documents.Either you can write the whole text by typing or you can use an OCR software.OCR (optical Character recognition) is method to extract text from images.It can recognize handwritten,printed or typewritten text and can reproduce them into editable word or text format.

These OCR software also preserve the formatting of the original scanned document into converted document.They are not 100% accurate and the converted document still requires some editing.But it is better to use an OCR software and do some editing rather to type the whole Document.

Earlier I have reviewed top Free OCR softwares .If you have microsoft office installed in your computer then you won?t need any other third-party software as you can use Microsoft Office OneNote to copy text from image.

Trick to Copy Text From Any Image:-


■For this you have to install MS-Office on your system.
■Now open Microsoft Office OneNote (Start?>All Programs?>Microsoft Office?>Microsoft Office OneNote).
■Drag and Drop the image in the MS-OneNote window from which you want copy the text.
■Now Right-Click on the image and select Copy Text From Picture option

■Open Notepad or MS-Office (where you want save the text) and paste the content there.
Now you have the whole text in your notepad or Ms-Word.You can edit or format it and save only the required excerpt.

Screen Capture Full Web Pages on your Mobile

Meet Web Screenshots, an online tool that will help you capture a full-length screenshot image of any “public” web page with a click.

While the tool will work across all screens, it is a more handy option for taking screen captures of web pages on mobile devices – phones and tablets – where you often don’t have the option to install extensions.

Alternatives for Android and iOS


In the case of iOS devices – the iPhones and the iPads – you can use the Home + Sleep buttons to capture screenshots but a limitation is that it will only capture the regions that are visible in the Safari browser. Web Screenshots will capture the entire web page.

There’s no standard shortcut* for capturing screenshots in Android devices and sometimes you have to root the phone just for a simple screen capture.

You can however download the free Dolphin Browser with the Screen Cut add-on on Android and you’ll then be able to screen capture pages directly in the web browser. This is recommended when you wish to screen capture web pages that require login – like a snapshot of your e-ticket or an online payment receipt.
 The Samsung Galaxy series of Android phones do provide a built-in shortcut for taking screenshots. Press and hold the “Back” button and then press the Home key – the screenshot will be saved in your Photo Gallery.

Major Differences Between Windows 7 And Windows 8

Major Differences Between Windows 7 and Windows 8

  •     Boot time: win7 48 sec. win8 10 sec.
  •     Desktop : Microsoft has replaced the normal shortcut icons with dynamic tiles. You can change their size and place similar applications around each other- or anything else that my suit you.
  •     Mounting iso images: Windows 7 could only burn an ISO image to a DVD but Windows 8 actually betters this by offering you the option to mount the image too. In Windows 7, you didn’t have the option to make virtual drives to use the ISO image’s content but Windows 8 allows you to create a virtual drive to mount the ISO image so that you can easily use it just like a normal DVD.
  •     Built-in Antivirus(bad news for hackers): Windows 8 has an antivirus present inside the kernel of the operating system. This means that your system won’t boot if a corrupt USB device is plugged in. It sounds impressive though I don’t know whether it would pass the test of time…. and viruses! All in all, I do expect Windows 8 to be a serious upgrade on Windows 7 and with Microsoft working on the things that require some tweaking; I genuinely believe that Microsoft is finally ready to launch an OS which will take the world by storm.
  •     Multiple monitors support in Windows : Microsoft announced that customers can use more than one monitor to connect with Windows 8 operating system. Windows 8 PC management allows customers to use multiple monitors at same time. It means Windows 8 offers flexibility by allowing start screen at one monitor and desktop in another. Customer can also choose taskbar on both screens with different icons on each monitor. Moreover, you can play with background images as well by changing it separate on each monitor. Such support is not available with Windows 7 operating system.
  • Windows based apps store Windows 8 operating system introduces new app store in which different apps is implemented for various devices and settings on right of the screen. The settings section includes contextual apps like volume, brightness, restart and power options. You can share content, links, app reviews, contacts, metro apps, Facebook and twitter applications with your friends or colleagues. Windows 8 store offers both desktop apps and ecosystem for developers. On the other hand, Windows 7 OS is missing all these features.
  • Inbuilt Windows Touch features: The main difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8 comes with its metro style interface that provides live title of rectangle shape which has replaced the icon pattern in Windows.
  •  In Windows 7 operating system, software shortcuts are in the form of icons. As far as the touch interface is concerned then Windows.
  • supports touch interface but not that much, what was expected. So, Windows 8 comes with true touch interface for Metro style apps. It is fast way of accessing data by using an improved on-screen keyboard and handwriting recognition
