How to Convert Scanned PDF and Images to Text Using Google Drive
Last month I felt the need to convert some image to editable text, so I searched the web and came across few converters/software. But, none of them were free and they asked for a good amount of money. This conversion is performed using Optical Character Recognition Software (OCR).
Today in the morning, I was doing some work on Google Drive and I clicked on a feature which kind of made my day. Actually, Google Drive provides the OCR software for free and you can use it to convert your image files to text.
Convert Images to text using Google Drive:
Before you proceed, make sure that on the image to be used, there is some text; so that it could be converted using OCR. This can also be used to convert PDF files to text for free.
Take a look at these simple steps:
- Visit Google Drive Website and login using your Gmail account.
- Now click on the New button and select File Upload to upload the image you want to convert. The image can be of any format. Here I have used a screenshot of my website homepage as the image.
- After finishing up the upload, right click on the image file and go to Open With > Google Docs.
- Now the new tab opens with the image at the top and editable text below it. You can edit the text and resize the image here.
- You can either delete the image and save the remaining text and close the tab. Now in you’ll see the Google Document with converted text beside the image file.
- Now you are all done and you can edit the image or download in PC to edit.
Points to be noted:
- Image should be less than 2 MB in size.
- Your converted text may have mistakes in it, so check it before using somewhere.
- For PDF files, only first 10 pages are converted to text. If you have a large PDF file, instead of opting for a one-time conversion, go for step-by-step conversion of 10 pages.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Messenger vs. Your Phone Number – Who’ll Be The Winner?
On January 7th, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted an infographic on his Facebook page announcing that Facebook’s messenger app is being used by 800 million users every month. While this could seem a big number to many, I wasn’t surprised at all. We are constantly online and Messenger has become a part of your digital lives. But, this hasn’t happened on its own — it’s a result of the perfect execution of a long-term strategy by Facebook.
When Facebook bought WhatsApp after signing a multi-billion deal, many people compared it with Facebook’s own IM service Messenger. But, Facebook has constantly worked to draw a differentiating line between the two. Last year at its F8 conference, Facebook announced that it’ll be developing Messenger as a platform while WhatsApp will be a simple app that’ll continue to focus on make texting and calling a better experience.
In 2015, Facebook made significant changes in Messenger that included video calling, ability to customize conversations with emojis and stickers, updated location sharing, money sharing and a lot more. In his Facebook post, Zuckerberg tells his own story — “It’s an important part of how I run Facebook and keep in touch with my friends and family. I use Messenger to quickly get information from engineers to make decisions. I also message a lot with Priscilla every day and probably use way too many stickers.”
Messenger is one of the top priorities of Facebook in 2016. The company swears to work hard to bring to you more and more ways to communicate with your friends and family. Facebook has already started testing M, its own digital virtual assistant. In his latest blog post, company’s VP of Messaging Products, David Marcus has urged you to do everything the Facebook’s way — as if pushing Free Basics down people’s throat wasn’t enough.
First let’s set some context. Think about it: SMS and texting came to the fore in the time of flip phones. Now, many of us can do so much more on our phones; we went from just making phone calls and sending basic text-only messages to having computers in our pockets.David Marcus, VP of Facebook Messaging Products
Thanks to the endless number of messaging apps, we have arrived at a point where we don’t remember phone numbers and contact details of other people. With its Messenger app, Facebook is working to eradicated your phone numbers altogether.
Last year, Facebook decided that it will now give its users an option to use sign up for the Messenger without needing a Facebook account. With Messenger, now you can make calls to a person without needing to know someone’s phone number.
“With Messenger, we offer all the things that made texting so popular, but also so much more. Yes, you can send text messages, but you can also send stickers, photos, videos, voice clips, GIFs, your location, and money to people,” Facebook writes in its blog post.
While using WhatsApp to make money isn’t Facebook’s top priority at the moment, Facebook is working hard on Messenger to open a new revenue stream for a long time growth.
Slowly and gradually Facebook is looking to take over your entire phone — wait for it — it’s just a matter of time.
