Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

Copy the text from the image to a TXT file

Copy the text from the image to a TXT file

In one of the last posts I wrote how to find the desired Font from an image, but what about the whole text? There are other tools for this.

In order not to manually copy the entire text from an image, one site will do it for you - OCR.

What is OCR? 

This is one site where you can upload the image you want to extract text from completely free of charge, and then save that text in TXT, DOC, and XLS format.

Site features:

  • Since everything is free, the site has limited the image size to 4MB, but you can also upload up to 15 images in one hour. These restrictions are not so important unless you are translating the whole book.
  • As for file extensions, you can upload  JPG, JPEG, BMP, TIFFGIF and convert them to  Word, Text, Excel, PDF, and Html formats.
  • Another option is to choose the language in which the text is written. Among the 32 languages ​​is Serbian.

How to convert an image to text? 

When you open the site, at the bottom you will see a button that says "Select file" or "Browse", insert an image and click "Upload".

Now select the language in which the text is written on the right and then the format in which you want to save the text. If you have selected everything, click "Recognize".

Wait a few seconds and below you will see the text from the image that you can copy or download in the desired format.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
