I have a PDF with text in Hebrew. I believe I need OCR software in order to do this. Has anyone done this and which software did you use? I tried all kinds of ways with just Microsoft Word however I believe that an OCR software is required to complete what I’m doing -ie. copying parts of a book.
If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can
1) Open the pdf;
2) Click on the Scan & OCR tool;
3) Click on Recognize Text;
4) Choose “Hebrew”
5) And then click on the Recognize Text button.
Adobe Acrobat Pro will convert the words to digital format. If it’s a scan from a book, you will probably have to go through it and do a lot of corrections.
This may not be the best option, but it works to some degree.
1. take a screenshot using the windows snipping tool
2. save the screenshot
3. go here: imagetotext.info this site converts images to text. 95% accurate even with hebrew.
4. follow the simple instructions on the site. it should give you the text you want, then just copy and paste
