Optical Character Recognition

Hi,

FreeFileConvert now supports OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for following formats:

pdf -> txt
jpg -> txt
bmp -> txt
gif -> txt
png -> txt
tif -> txt
tiff -> txt

OCR is a technology which converts your scanned images into searchable text, so now using FreeFileConvert OCR support you can convert your scanned files into text files, which we hope will help many people. However our OCR conversion is designed to convert only typewritten text in English language, so processing documents which contain handwriting or language other than English will not produce satisfactory results.

If you find any problems doing OCR using FreeFileConvert, please let us know as this conversion is still in beta and we would like to hear from you.

Cheers,
FreeFileConvert

YouTube Conversion Fixed

Hi Guys,

As most of you would have noticed today that YouTube conversion was broken this was because YouTube again changed it’s backend for videos, however we have fixed this problem now and it should be working again but if you still find any problem in conversion please let us know.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Cheers,
FreeFileConvert
