In this tutorial, we learn how to convert image documents into searchable and editable text using Optical Character Recognition technology. By using Google Drive and Google Docs, we upload the image file, open it with Google Docs, and see the editable text below the image. We can make necessary changes and download the modified file in our preferred format. This process allows us to convert non-editable and non-searchable image documents into text documents easily.
