While looking for OCR software vendors in the internet to be used on our Document Repository project, I stumbled to a cool free online service. Free OCR is a free online OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool that enables you to extract text from an image and convert it into an editable text document. If you need the text from a scan image you don't have to re-type the whole text, just upload the image file and this OCR tool will convert it into editable text.Free OCR can accept file formats such as PDF, JPG, GIF, TIFF or BMP format. The software is totally free but the size of the images is restricted to not larger than 2MB or no wider or higher than 5000 pixels and there is a limit of 10 image uploads per hour.
I tried testing a PDF document and here are the screenshots of the result.

There is another website that also has a free online OCR. I actually found CVISION's free OCR to be easier to use and much better too.
While searching for a free online OCR service to text my image documents, i found that most of the online services give roughly the same accuracy given high image quality. I recently used http://www.sciweavers.org/free-online-ocr, which provides a good balance between high accuracy and very clean user interface. The service does not imply any restrictions so far, no ads, 33+ langaues, multiple image formats.
