[Is this possible?] Text in a image > text in a word processor

[duragezic]

First off this is sorta off-topic but it isn't a very common topic so I don't think it would get much help in Software.

If you read my other post about my partition disappearing, I lost the stuff on it. The most important thing was my typed schoolwork.

Now the work that I still need could probably gotten back from the teacher and I could scan it in. I'm wondering if there is any type of program that could take text in an image that I had scanned and turn it into regular text like you had typed it. This isn't handwriting either, it's computer text.

Hopefully there will be. Retyping all of this IS SUCK. Thanks.

you sure can. it's called "OCR" software. (optical character recognition i think).

lots of people make it, so just search for it by that name.

You need an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program to do this.
