Capture2Text Version 2.0 (Convert Image to the Text)




It may happen to you sometimes when you see a text in an image and want to convert the image into the text. Capture2Text is your alternative. It is a freeware application that can capture any transcript in an image and convert it to the text. Capture2Text uses the optical character recognition (OCR) technology to recognize the text. It’s also able to alter speech to the text. You can use your computer’s microphone, speak and Capture2Text does the rest.  The application supports more than 30 languages and by default Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish are installed, although you can download more languages from its website and add them to the software. You can download Capture2Text from the links below:
