I have heard about scanned document OCR feature in MS Office.

I was trying to copy scanned document image to clipboard and paste it as text in notepad as text, but this doesn't work.

I have Office 2016 running on Win 8.1. How to enable MODI and use it ?

You can install Modi via SharePoint 2007. MODI was removed from office 2010 onward I believe.

Hope that helps

Edit as per comment. Download SharePoint designer 2007 from the Microsoft's website (its free - about 300Mb). Run the installer and under office tools select MODI and run all from computer. Install and then search for MODI on your PC.

  • It's the Sharepoint Designer 2007 you want to download, not the full Sharepoint install: microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21581 Oct 27, 2016 at 17:14

Use the free Microsoft Onenote Windows desktop application: https://www.onenote.com/download/win32/x86/en-US

You can paste an image into a onenote page, then right click the image and "Copy Text from Picture". The OCR text will be placed on the clipboard.
