I intend convert a photography, with txt on page with background white, to txt file. The purpose is capture all text on this images.

I google and I founded the imagemagick and this tools: SCAN Image to TEXT

But this is it the best option? It is possible capture text on photography? Thanks

  • what you are trying to do is called OCR (optical character recognition). There are many solutions for this. the option you listed might work for you. – Sass Dec 07 '16 at 02:15

Another good and free solution (web service) is https://ocr.space/ - it works well with text on background, such as movie subtitles.

The best OCR is offered by Google, but this requires programming to use: https://cloud.google.com/vision/

Will to buy a product? I have used Omnipage and/or the Pro version for a long time and very happy with its results.

The the higher your mega pixel rate of the digital camera the better. If it is film photo then scan it at 600dpi.

the top answer in your referenced link is similar to this. I suggest you use an existing black-box solution rather than trying to roll your own. unless that's your project.

one solution is TesseractOCR multiplatform open source OCR

another with an MSOffice dependency is OCR with Microsoft® Office

and another GOCR - open-source character recognition
