I grew up in the small town of Bow, NH, and graduated summa cum laude from the University of New Hampshire with bachelor's degrees in information technology and philosophy. I'm an entrepreneur at heart and founded two EdTech startups. ecoText's mission is to become the ultimate collaborative learning tool while delivering affordable digital textbooks to students. I helped the company raise over $650,000 in funding. In high school, I founded Triumph Software to launch a professional development management tool, Loggit. The app has since served over 500 educators across New Hampshire and tracked more than 100,000 professional development hours. When I'm not tackling challenging problems, I enjoy writing, photography, and building deep interpersonal relationships while pondering my place in the universe.

This is an interesting topic. Basically, I have an image that contains some text. How do I extract the text from the image?
I have already tried many things, but everything I do is very tedious and usually does not work. I am simply wondering if there is a fairly easy way to do this.
I have come upon this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaocr/. I have tried this for hours, but I cannot get it to take an
Imageand turn it into aStringof text from the image.Thank you all in advance!
