	+1 No one did this job, except this one: free-ocr.com (2-3 mistakes - it's ok). I have a big question, is there any non-free tool that do it perfect? :) Thanks, Mehper! – igor Apr 4 '11 at 12:54

2 other free online OCR services:

Google Docs can convert images with text into text documents.

The maximum size for images (.jpg, .gif, .png) that it can handle is 2 MB & each line of text in the image should ideally be of at least 10 pixels height.
OCR Terminal is an online OCR service that can convert image formats (TIFF, JPEG, GIF, BMP) to editable (.doc, .txt, .rtf) formats
