How to extract text from images?
The underlying technology to extract text from images is called Optical Character Recognition (OCR). There are several OCR tools available online and as software, both free and paid. With OCR software, you simply upload the image and it will analyze and extract the text, which can then be edited or saved as a document. Some OCR tools even support batch processing, allowing you to extract text from multiple images at once.

Why is it difficult to convert images to text without advanced OCR?
There are several reasons for why it is difficult to convert images to text:
1. Scanned images don’t contain any text that can be selected and then extracted.
2. Often, images are not clear enough and the quality is low. Then it becomes very difficult for the OCR to read out the text.
3. Furthermore, when the format of a document differs and has variations, it becomes difficult for the OCR to detect the important fields.
Despite the difficulties, OCR software is able to extract text from images in a faster, more accurate and cheaper way than when done manually.
What are the different ways to convert images to text?
Free online tools: Good for individuals or small volumes, but they lack scalability and security.
