Show Image and Link Properties On Mozilla Firefox 3.6

Got a Mozilla firefox 3.6 installed in your computer? Did you notice that in this new version has no properties option for link and image? Yup, that’s the problem. I was a little disappointed when I tried to "right click" on links / images I can’t find properties option. For some users maybe this is not a big deal but I’m sure some of you (especially bloggers and webmasters) are not expecting this problem.

Free Online Based OCR Service - Convert Image To Text

Free Online Based OCR Service - Convert Image To TextIn my last blog post about OCR, I mentioned some free OCR software. Now I would like to share two (2) online based OCR tools which has similar abilities with the OCR software. As you know Optical Character Recognition or OCR tool is useful to convert images to text, so if you have scanned documents (in jpg,gif,bmp or other image formats) you can convert them to text easily, you don't have to re-type all characters in microsoft word.

Anyway, the conversions will not always perfect (depends on many factors, such as image quality), so I recommend you to re-check after the conversion. But the result is not bad either and most importantly these free OCR tools are free.

Free Online Based OCR Service

Both of OCR are free to use and have a simple interface. All you have to do is upload your images then recognize them. Finally, although they're not perfect but I hope they will be your solution for free OCR tools to convert images to text.
