How to capture text from an image

 

Over a period of time I ended up having lots of visiting cards. I was looking for a solution to capture the information on the visiting card in soft form without typing it. I looked at various solutions. The one solution that is working is using Microsoft's OneNote.

 

It is very easy to use. 

You capture the image of the visiting card.

Copy the image in the OneNote's page.

Right click the image and choose the image. Then use the command - Copy Text from the Image.

Paste the text.

You have the text from the image. You can also capture text from any other image. However the solution did not work when the card had fancy font.
