I assume you don't have access to Jaws? With Jaws 2018 and later it's as easy 
as pressing a shortcut key combination when you are on any image file in 
Windows Explorer.

You might want to try the following, I did a Google search for "Online OCR of 
jpg files":



Free Online OCR  service allows you to convert PDF  document to MS Word file , 
scanned images to editable text formats and extract text from JPEG /TIFF/BMP ...

Here is the link:

Free Online OCR - convert PDF to Word or Image to 
text<https://www.onlineocr.net/>

Once you are on the page, look for the  “Choose Files” button, it says above:

1 STEP - Upload file   2 STEP - Select language and output format   3 STEP – 
Convert

Sounds like most online converters and it will probably work well enough.

Subject: Extracting text from a jpg image?



Can anyone tell me which app can ocr a jpg image? The French teacher of a class 
I’m going to has started sending French articles to us as jpg files. I’ve tried 
TextGrabber and KNFB Reader but neither can get anything. I’m using iPhone 7 
Plus and a 2018 iPad, iOS 12. Might my MacBook Pro on high Sierra do a better 
job?Recommendations welcome!

Thanks

Harry
