It's not uncommon for a code snippet to be posted on the internet, or even on a stack exchange site where someone has taken a screenshot of code.

Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to convert this to text? I imagine source code or even console output is a special case of OCR since its almost always fixed width fonts with no images, charts, etc.

FreeOCR should do just fine I think.

You may want to take a look at Google's Tesseract-OCR:

They purchased it from HP Labs and open-sourced it.
