how do you get text out of image

[Dave Goodmen]

Need this chinese word to be in text

Please i need it badly... thanks

what do you mean by text...translated or ?? the only other way to have it in plain text is to type it and have chinesse simplified or regular installed in order to view it

I don't think you can extract the text from this image....

either get somebody that knows the language, or get an asian font.

I'm not trying to be funny here.

Just out of curiousity, if someone sends an email in Chinese to someone who doesn't have the the font what do you get as "text" in the email?



My thought here is that maybe Dave can get someone to email it to him. Hungry for some good Chinese food tonight Dave?

you would have to have Chineese Language installed in order for it to show right.

otherwise all you will get is weird letters and mumbers and signs.

You would unfortunately have to know the font... some scanners allow you to "scan as a document" which attempts to scan the text and allow you to export it to a word processor, but you would certainly have to specify the specfici language (arent there like 100 versions/dialects of chinese?), and even with english text it doenst work all that great... but might be worth a try

yea i dn if ocr programs even exist for chinese

edit: probably do better just to find someone who can read it and get them to tell you what it says

i suggest a text translator, but some can't even translate that type, so u will need to find a very good one, i use web translators, like bablefish, or free-translator.com

Dave,

I work with a chinese fellow, he translated the image. It appears to be titles of songs.

1) Fairy Tale of Time
2) Bright Sunny Day
3) When Love Hits the End
4) Pure Accident
5) Theme from Lan Kar Leung
6) Spark
7) Let Me Treat You Nice
8) World Has Love
9) Let Me Stay
10) Don't Understand Women
11) Create a Sunny Day
12) More Mistake with More Love
13) Know the Detail
14) Sometimes I am Afraid of You
15) Body Language
16) Suddenly Love is Not Enough

Never heard of any of them myself.
