Is there a program that takes the words from a piece of paper?
So if you scan or upload a piece of paper?
My colleague didn't press save and now there are 5 pages for Hugo 😫😫😫
Now we would have to type the 5 pages (the sheet is printed) from Word.
Are there any programs or tricks to get around this, or to scan the paper and get it into Word somehow or convert it somewhere or something?
Word can read PDF files and make a Word document from them, but if that works really useful in a scanned document (if applicable only one picture), I cannot tell you.
Windows 11 brings the snipping tool, simply using the push button or SHIFT+WIN+S to take a screenshot of the scanned document and then click the preview. This opens the screenshot in the snipping tool and that has the function “text actions” at the top, which then recognizes the text in the image.
Otherwise there are other tools, just look for “OCR”.
If it’s your smartphone, but the scanner would be better for me, then I have it right on the PC.
In any case, you may not expect a perfect result, OCR is quite complex, computationally intensive and susceptible to errors. To read large amounts of text, it appears that if the text is to be error-free afterwards, you have to read a correction again and clean up some things.
I would advise to rebuild the Word document and then copy paragraph for paragraph from the screenshots the texts. So you have a lot of control, it’s not so much under, and Word doesn’t make weird things to try to take formatting.
Habs grad tries with Google translator, works well, thanks 🙂
Such a function is called Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and some scanner software has something or can use appropriate software.
There are also websites that offer such a thing (e.g.: https://www.onlineocr.net/en/, but about their quality, exact functioning and trustworthiness I cannot make any statement.
Correct.
But no matter how good the OCR is, there can always be errors, especially in passwords where the OCR can’t just look at the most likely variant in a dictionary. An OCR knows that T0mas is not written with a “zero”, but “random” character combinations like WbOx0e, there are almost guaranteed errors in it.
Also the formatting is made only “so similar” and usually it tears the formatting when making changes to the text.
Of course, you can still do better than completely, but the original document is not retrieved by scanning without processing.
As a Linuxuser I have no experience with Windows OCR, so I can’t say which OCR is good or cost nothing.
I’ve been using Tesseract and OCRopus for some time. But for Windows you have to look around yourself if you don’t have a Linux PC.
For each operating system and scanner, there are OCR programs for text recognition.
If it’s handwriting, it’ll be a bit more difficult.
No.
Not saved is gone. If no automatic buffering is set and can save up there, ALL is gone.
she printed it out. My question was therefore not whether you can object to this, but whether you can scan the expression and somehow copy the words
I understood that.
If you have a program in the company PC that can, then yes.
You all know the programs, you work with it.
If you scan foreign text pages of the received post and use the program, that would be the existing program. You know that.
OCR text recognition
zb Apple devices have the function where you can extract from a photo text
Printed font?
There are mobile apps that convert photographed documents into PDF. PDF to PC, convert it into Word or transfer the text with copy/paste to Word.
Handwriting? bad luck, nice tip exercise
Yes printed, thanks 🙂
Do you convert post received into text documents? That would be the program.
Wonderful 😊.
No, unfortunately…
but works with Google translators 🙂
I know Google Lens reads the text. I think you can copy it
