Hello to All, does anyone know of a reasonably good free software to convert jpg. files to .doc files? Something that would perhaps functionally resemble the Abby Fine Reader?
Hope there is something out there !
Thank you for your suggestions!

Couldn't you just paste it into word/openoffice and save it as a .doc?

Interesting question which I have also wondered about. It is also an answer which I have never tried...
Unfortunately Word saves the image as an image, not as text as I assume Atnes mean't. Thus my image of a web page saves as a .doc file turns out like this, with a right click of the mouse to show its an image.
I guess I misunderstood then. I just figured as long as the image was in .doc and the program could open the files then it would work.
Could you use .pdf instead?

Yes, exactly; Words saves it just asan image and basta. It would be very practical though to have the option of scanning a text (typically it saves as picture)and then converting this 'picture' back into the text again in order to be able to process it furter...(f.i. you have a certain piece of text only on paper / hard copy., like a looooong list of recommended literature, bibliography etc., usually rather meticulously equipped with all possible punctuation marks, diacritcs etc.) and which you need to add / insert at the end of an article or similar and most probably even complete it with your own suggestions. The Abby Fine Reader Program did / does this (converting ), but as much as I know, there is no free version available.
Or?

Now I get it. You want image to text conversion. I have a program that came with my scanner for free that does this(haven't ever tried it though.) The type of program this is called is an OCR. Try googling for a free one and maybe something will come up.

Unfortunately, nothing has come up yet. I hate computers too!

There's a few freeware OCR programs listed on Softpedia, can't vouch for any of them though as I've never used one:
