O.k. just did some tests again with old .pdf's containing images
of scanned text and then also used a jpeg image (small resolution)
with the free tesseract.
Tesseract did not do a good job, to many errors.
Then i googled a bit and ... Google can do it.
According to a youtube video you need a gmail account, upload to
Google Drive and then from there open the image or pdf with
Google Docs, which does imho the best job i have seen do far.
I will do more tests, once time permits.
Regards
Stefan
