    Convert jpg file to word file
    I have some 200 year old documents, hand written in urdu script. I wish to have them translated into english.

    However, first I need to scan them into (say) tif or jpg file and then convert it to a word file. How do I convert the jpg file into a word file?

    Is there any other option of achieveing my goal?

    Do a Google search for Optical Character recognition. You're about to go down a bumpy road.

    This is doable, but I have to admit that the amount of time it takes to scan/optically analyze and convert to text, then proofread the result... it often rivals the time it would have taken to simply type it out.

    Seahwk, that just converts pics to other pic formats. IrfanView does that, is free, and doesn't require email addresses, and is WAY more powerful as a pic management tool.

    This is an OCR issue.
