Businesses receive a lot of images that entail important information. But this format doesn’t allow for further processing of data.
Therefore, it is important to convert an image to text and thus enable the company to work with the extracted data. The extracted data can then easily be saved in the company’s database.

Why is difficult to convert images to text?
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 different ways to convert image to text?
There are different ways to convert images to text.
Of course, you can find free online solutions that offer a free OCR tool. Usually, they work perfectly fine for lower document volumes and convert images to text in an accurate way.
But often, these online tools come with their limitations, as scalability is limited and the integration into your company’s system non existent.
One interesting way to extract text from images is using Google Docs. You can upload an image to Google Drive and then open it with Google Docs. It will automatically extract the text from the image and display it below the image.
