How to eSign a document: convert signature image to text

Hi everyone, my name is Kevin. Today I'm going to show you  how you can take a sheet of   text and convert it into text that  you can then edit in Microsoft Word. You don't need any other applications except  for Microsoft Word to be able to do this. Well,   so how do we take this piece of text  and convert it into text on my computer? Well, the first thing that we're going to do is  you take a picture if this with your smartphone,   it'll save it as a JPEG, and then you're  going to get that photo on your computer. So, here I am on my desktop and I've actually  already done those steps, so we don't have to   jump through those, and here I'm going to  open up the, the image that I took. So,   I just took a picture of this, and this is  kind of a funny thing that we have in Seattle,   but you get these vouchers in the mail and  you can support different candidates using   basically taxpayer money to support whoever  you want. Is that a good, is it a bad thing? Well, hey, I'm not here to talk about that. We're here to get this in  the text in your document. So, I have this JPEG and I want to edit this text. Well, how do I do that? So what I'm going to do is we're going  to open Microsoft Word because I said   we would use Word to do this, and we're  going to jump into just a blank document. So, what I want to do is the first  thing that we're going to do is   take this JPEG that I created and we're  going to drag and drop that into Word,   and so here you'll see that I have the image in  Word, but hey, I can't actually edit the text. How do I edit the text. It's a little bit roundabout way to do it. They could probably make it. Microsoft would probably make this a little easier  or let's say you could right click on it and there   was some option to convert to text, but we got to  do this random roundabout way to be able to edit. So how do we do that? The first thing  we're going to do is go to file and   then save as and what I'm going to do  is I'm going to put this on my desktop,   so I'm going to just save this file to my desktop. So, we're going to just save it as let's say  convert to text now, but what we're going to do   is, for the save as type, instead of just saving  it as a document, what we want to do is we want   to save this as a PDF, so we're going to click  on PDF and then we're going to click on save. So, there you go, and now it's going to  open up it looks like Microsoft Edge,   and it shows me the PDF that  I just saved with that image. Now, one of the beautiful things that you  could do with Word is when you open a PDF,   Word automatically converts that  PDF to text, and so that's how we,   that's basically how we get the  text into Word. So, let's try that. So, what I'm doing now is I go to  file, open, and we're going to,   to just onto the desktop and then  I see my convert to text PDF. So, let's try opening that file. So, I'm going to click on that,   and it says Word will now convert  your PDF to an editable or a document. That's exactly what we want. This might take a while. The resulting Word document will  be optimized to allow you to edit   the text, so it might not look  exactly like the original PDF. That's fine. So, we're going to click on OK. And so right now it's doing a  conversion and there you go. It says basically all the text from the sheet  and see here I can type alongside it, and what   I'm going to do, let's open up this document, and  we're going to open it next to the original image. So, I'm going to put the image on one  side, and document on the other side,   and here you can see it did a pretty good job. Here you know it says go paperless, go paperless,   user democracy vouchers online, has the URL,  and then it has the, the different sections. The one thing it misses didn't include  this questions, but otherwise it did a   pretty good job at taking this text from  just a random mailing I got in the mail,   and I was able to take a picture  with my phone, save it as an image,   and then bring it into Word, and here I can edit,  I can do whatever I want with any of the text. You could do this with any type of document. Just take a picture and bring it into Word,  and then you could go ahead and edit the text. It's pretty simple to do, you only need  Word and then your cell phone or some   type of phone or camera. Any camera  would work, and you could do this. If you were able to successfully bring text  into Word and now you're able to edit it,   please give this video a thumbs up.
