About

FreeOCR is a free Optical Character Recognition Software for Windows and supports scanning from most Twain scanners and can also open most scanned PDF's and multi-page Tiff images as well as popular image file formats. FreeOCR outputs plain text and can export directly to Microsoft Word format. Free OCR uses the latest Tesseract (v3.01) OCR engine. It includes a Windows installer and It is very simple to use and supports opening multi-page tiff documents, Adobe PDF, and fax documents as well as most image types including compressed Tiff's which the Tesseract engine on its own cannot read.It now can scan using Twain and WIA scanning drivers. FreeOCR V4 includes Tesseract V3 which increases accuracy and has page layout analysis so more accurate results can be achieved without using the zone selection tool. As well as OCR FreeOCR can scan and save images as JPG and we are currently working on a "Scan to PDF" capability with the option to save as searchable PDF.

About

You can use Microsoft Lens to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, and you can even save images to OneNote or OneDrive. Microsoft Lens is like having a scanner in your pocket. Like magic, it will digitize notes from whiteboards or blackboards. Always find important documents or business cards. Sketch your ideas and snap a picture for later. Don't lose receipts or stray sticky notes again!
