Word2TXT

Having trouble copying text from PDF? No problem, Word2TXT app will help you extract text from images.

Features

• Word to Images: Important feature. You should start with it first
• JPEG to PNG: Not important feature, but it will be useful if you want to convert JPEG to PNG
• OCR Images: Central feature. It will export images to text for you to copy and paste into Word. Supported 2 modes:

• Fast: Export fast thanks to your CPU. For desktops, I recommend 4 CPUs. For laptops, I recommend 2 CPUs or less
• Slow: Slower but more efficient mode. I recommend this mode for laptops, or for desktops too

Installations

1. Download Tesseract OCR

• Windows
• MacOS:

brew install tesseract

• Linux:

sudo apt install tesseract-ocr

2. Install languages

3. Use the application

You have 2 methods to use the application:

• Download from Releases
• Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/WMZS-Modding/Word2TXT.git

And then run:

python main.py

4. Usage

• First, you need to convert your PDF to DOCX. I recommend using Gooogle Drive and Gooogle Docs
• Second, click the application you've downloaded and extracted
• Then, choose the Word2PNG section. Choose your input DOCX and output folder. In the JPEG2PNG section, it's optional but it's good for you if you prefer PNG instead of JPEG
• Next, choose the OCR Images section. I recommend choosing Slow mode to get a better result. Choose your language in Language part (Languages will automatically show after you paste traineddata (Windows) or install language (MacOS and Linux)). Choose your input image folder and output TXT folder. In Fast mode, I recommend choosing 4 CPU
• Finally, check your output TXT folder, you'll see result

Advantages and Disadvantages

Fast

• Advantages: Runs on CPU. Can process large image folders. Gives fast results
• Disadvantages: Sometimes this mode is too "rushed" leading to skimming and giving results that are almost missing some words

Slow

• Advantages: Processes image folders very carefully. Gives more accurate results
• Disadvantages: Slow and can take a long time to process large image folders. With 128 images or more, the time will increase
