Software to Convert Scanned PDF to Editable Text

AI Thread Summary
To modify text in a scanned PDF that is in image format, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software is necessary. OCR converts images of text into editable text formats. However, users may encounter issues with the quality of the conversion, such as unwanted characters or formatting problems, like dots appearing after each word. This can make the text difficult to edit. While converting a bitmap image back to a clean text format is challenging, using high-quality OCR tools can improve results.

thank you all
i tried that also
but all the text that has converted is having dots after each worr


looks irritating to see i can't modify that dot by deleating it
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
