I remember using Microsoft Word a long time ago to solve the same problem, but I have forgotten how I actually did that. It may have been some other app. thanks |

You need OCR Software. It may have come with your scanner.

Which software?
You run the image through it, and it creates a text file of the image. Also, I'd recomend rescanning it as a BMP if possible, as JPEG compression has a tendency to annoy the hell out of ocr programs. You can then edit as any other text file. Then, you can use photoshop's text tool to put the text back into the jpeg, if thats what you want. -------------------- In the event I fail to reply within twenty-four hours, feel free to send me a PM (By clicking this link).

If its a good quality picture, you can use the clone tool to get rid of the text and use it to fix the background and then useing the text tool to add the text back

They have sacrificed for us.....and it is now our job to help these veterans, as they have already helped us in ways we will never know, in ways that we cannot fathom, and in ways that we take granted every day.
