Free Online OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool

In case you need to quickly recognize a text from an image file and don’t have ABBYY FineReader installed, there is an online analogue. Moreover, it is completely free. It is called Free OCR and is located here: http://www.free-ocr.com/

One thing made me laugh: they have to use Captcha technology to protect the website from spammers who used it for captcha breaking! This argument is enough to prove the service efficiency. =)

Hope this service will be helpful to someone as it was to me.

    When speaking about paid versions of OCR programs, then FineReader is the best choice. Its Express version costs only $99 http://www.abbyyusa.com/shop/finereader/ex

    A free OCR program sounds nice and spares you from its paid counterparts. OCR is a fine tool you could use to convert printed papers into computerized copies.

    With that, you could easily store them in a DMS for security and contingency.

    What's the catch? People actually pay for decaptcha services, and you say this one is for free?
