Hello you grpahics specialists. Can you help me?
How can I use Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to convert text visible in the viewed mage of a GIF, JPG, BMP, etc into plain text? (I am not referring to metadata such as EXIF.)
When I used the standalone freeware ‘Simple OCR’ it replied it could not convert my JPG image (which showed approx eight short lines of text) into to plain text.
I don’t want to buy any special OCR application for this.
Can PS or PSP do this natively? If a plugin is needed then I hope it is freeware!

As a seperate idea, is it possible to get one of the deskop search applications like Google, Yahoo or Copernic to use some optional image-text extraction feature to do what I want? I believe such plugins are vecoming available but the problem is that I do NOT want a search utility to extract the *ALL* the text of *ALL* the JPGs on my hard drive!!!
I want to extract from just ONE jpeg and I guess this may be hard or impossible to set up in a Desktop Searcher.
Any help is welcomed.
