thanks for the post, but it does not seem to work.<br />
<br />
this is what I did. This is a google doc (as mentioned above) that I have in my drive that has this mix of text and embedded pics with text in them. <br />
<br />
I directly try to open as you have mentioned, no OCR conversion, as expected.<br />
<br />
I downloaded the document as a Word document (.docx) file. Import it into Google drive and then try to use your suggestion, still no luck.

Optical character recognition (OCR) is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used as a form of data entry from printed paper data records, including passport documents, invoices, bank statements, computerized receipts, business cards, mail, printouts of static-data, or any suitable documentation. It is a common method of digitizing printed texts so that it can be electronically edited, searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line, and used in machine processes such as machine translation, text-to-speech, key data and text mining. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision.
