here is one of 5 files i received from a client. they are all jpg:
is there any way to capture the text so i can paste and then create a script for vox studio? i don't have photoshop, if that matters at all.
thanks much. _________________ sitting at #8, though not as present as I'd like to be. Hello!

They want you to narrate from that?
For the sake of all concerned, I'd ask for something a little more readable.
if that isn't an option, look for some OCR software. _________________ Jeff

oh yeah. i told them it is "terribly difficult to read" which i hope they take as the format and not my lack of ability ! _________________ sitting at #8, though not as present as I'd like to be. Hello!

The flowchart is a helpful addition to the Excel version of the script, not a replacement for it. _________________ DBCooperVO.com

i just sent him a note with a sample script, asking him to re-type and "format" that way. the deadline is 2 weeks away! i think we have some time. _________________ sitting at #8, though not as present as I'd like to be. Hello!

Do you have a scanner? Perhaps its OCR program can convert to text.
I have no idea how well this works, but it may be worth a try.

The client simply needs to be educated as to a better voiceover format.
And Diane - have you tried Word 2 WAV yet - a much simpler input file format - either Word or Excel. _________________ Playing for a living...

To extract the text, try Evernote. It's free and seems to work well. (Its really meant as a note-taking application but it OCR's images to make the text searchable.) _________________ Bob Ransom

In my view, this should have been presented in script format, or at the very least in understandable prose. It's obvious this establishment has little experience dealing with voice talent.
Would one of us had presented our work in such an unprofessional way? _________________ 848-219-1936
