I have thousands of png files taken from family history websites. I would like to be able to just copy the text, and then paste into my database. For some reason OCRing just a sample of 10 png's does not seem to do anything, and nothing tells me if anything has happened, or even if its finished. All i need is the ocr to be outputed into txt files. I however managed to get all png's into 1 pdf and also individual pdf's generated. I do not like copying text from off pdf, as they tend to be very table...

Sorry - my brain sometimes thinks everyone knows what I am thinking. Yes OCR as well. Import or drag and drop files or a directory. Not sure if each png file would then have its txt file saved seperatly into the same directory as the png?

How to convert prescanned png's into pdf or txt ? Just cannot find a method of how to do this. Any ideas please.
