In fact, Microsoft Office comes with OCR capability built-in. Another alteernative is Adobe Acrobat, if you have that. Most scanners and printer/scanners also come with OCR software. There is other OCR software available such as ABBYY Fine Reader and OmniPage, as well. There are also a number of free or open source OCR software progams, many based on the open-source Tesseract OCR engine, which is supposed to be very good. A list of many of some those programs can be found on the Tesseract web site: https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/3rdParty#GUI. Microsoft Office versions XP (2002) through Office 2007 include a tool called Microsoft Office Document Imaging. It is a scan utility and an OCR utility, and can be used to do OCR analysis of image files. It may not be installed by default, but it is an option. It can also be downloaded from Microsoft and installed for Office 2010 (and maybe latest versions). See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982760. Some Microsoft Office editions 2007 and up include OneNote, a note-taking application. It supports very high-quality OCR including hand writing recognition. It can be used to perform OCR on an image and then you can copy and paste the text back to Word or elsewhere. OneNote is an excellent alternative to MS Document Imaging for simple OCR workflows.
