Found this very handy app online, 100% free.  You upload an image and it will give you back all the copy from the image in plain text. Using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology.

Just the other day I needed to trans code an image from a mailer to create a “text-only” version and I tried putting it through this website.  It was only able to read about half the text on there, but it still saved me some time.  And for the low, low price of nothing – I can’t complain 🙂
