JOCR is a specialized optical character recognition (ocr) software that can recognize characters from images taken on the computer’s desktop. Before we delve into the functionality it should be noted that JOCR requires the Microsoft Office Document Imaging component which is a component of Microsoft Office 2003 and never Office versions. The Office Tool has to be installed for JOCR to function.
JOCR itself is a portable software program. The interface looks like screen capturing software programs. It offers to capture a region, the desktop or the active window. The image will then be displayed in the program’s interface with options to print, copy or recognize.
Recognizing is obviously the main part as it will analyze the image at hand to recognize all the characters that it contains. The document imaging software will then display the recognized characters count and display them in the default text editor from where they can be edited or copied easily.
The document imaging software can be useful in situations where text has to be copied from interface elements. This can be error messages, text that is displayed in applications or images. The recognition rate depends largely on the type of image and text used. It ranges from brilliant (almost no editing required) to weak (failed to recognize certain characters, lots of editing required).
JOCR is compatible with the following languages: Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.

I’ve tried this one for some simple captcha recognition (nothing nefarious, just saving my fingers) and results were very unstable.
OCR is one of areas were complex payware solution excel, task is bit too complex and requires bit too much research for quality freebie software to appear.
This is not working as expected .I agree to person who commneted above. But any how we have nice software which can recognize some words which are blurred.
if you already have office, there’s a good chance you have OneNote, which is already capable of doing this.
though perhaps it uses the same engine and will therefore produce similar results?
but i’m always pleased with how well the OneNote capture/OCR function works. it’s great for grabbing text where people try to make it hard to do, like Yahoo! Lyrics :)
anyway if you have OneNote, and its helper process is running, hit WIN-S to capture a region. it’s posted into a new note. right-click, choose “copy text from picture”, then paste where you need it.
if the image to be ocr is on your screen…why not just save it as txt or html.
more often than not if you see it on the screen it can be saved digitally.
