Hello there forum.
I am looking for a piece of software, and was wondering if anybody out there could help me.
What I am looking for is an application that can "read" text out of an image file, s.s. convert a scanned BMP/JPEG image of a text to txt or doc. I have some that came with my scanner, but it is pretty awful.
I read alot about ww2 aviation, and continuously stumble across true gemstones that I would so much like to bost in the AH forums, but alas...I am one lazy typer..
So if there is something like this around, please let me know:)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

The type of program you're asking about is OCR-optical character recognition.  I've only used two programs: Presto OCR and TextBridge Pro.  Presto OCR was superior--easy to use and making few mistakes.  You can download a free 30 day demo of Presto OCR 3.0 from the link above.
