Hi all,
I am looking for some suggestions on how to convert an image to plain text.
The images will in this case always be a "text string"; meaning they won't be images of a house or a car, just a text string.
So, can anyonw lead me in the right direction on how to do this using php?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
objelland

Re: Convert images to text
do you mean to extract the name of the image?
i.e. car.jpg ??

No, that is not what I mean. I am looking to extract the content of the image.hairytea wrote:do you mean to extract the name of the image?

If an image file, lets say a .gif file, contains the text "my image", I would like to extract the "my image" text into pain text.
Thanks,

Sorry, but this is not possible. No programming language can successfully do this, although Google is still trying to figure out how to do it.
