We are currently living in an era of mobility where everyone uses some mobile devices to perform multiple tasks while on-the-go. Here’s a great news for Google Docs. Now you can access the useful Google service right from their Android based smartphones.
The key feature of the app is the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capability to easily and quickly extract text from captured image. In other words, you just have to snap a photo of your desired printed text with your phone’s built-in camera, and the Google Docs app will be able to convert it into editable document automatically.
In case if you want to extract text from captured image on your desktop, use FreeOCR or any other OCR tools
