## 2. Handwriting to Text

This conversion is popularly known as OCR- Optical Character Recognition.

There are many sites and apps this feature is available to extract the text in many languages.
This feature is also available in many document scanners.

The best 5 online sites that I like the most for OCR are:
- [OnlineOCR.](https://www.onlineocr.net/) 
-  [Convertio](https://convertio.co/ocr/) .
-  [NewOCR.](https://www.newocr.com/) 
-  [ABBYY FineReader Online.](https://finereaderonline.com/en-us) 
-  [i2OCR.](https://www.i2ocr.com/) 

The document scanners that has OCR are:
-  [Doc Scanner ](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cv.docscanner) 
-  [Cam Scanner Indian](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.insomniactech.proscanner) 
-  [Adobe Scan](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.scan.android)

 You can upload the document and select the language that document's text has.

And the magic happens after the conversion is completed, the document which will be generated and you will be select the text and use anywhere. 

## 3. Text to Speech

## 4. Speech to Text 

Speech to text conversion is the process of converting spoken words into written texts.
 
Rather than typing long documents and making your hands pain  you just need to read out it once.

This process is also often called speech recognition.


The top 3 online sites for these are:
-  [Google Docs Voice Typing.](https://www.google.com/docs/about/) 
- [ Dragon Professional Individual. ](https://www.nuance.com/dragon.html) 
-  [Braina Pro](https://www.brainasoft.com/braina/speech-to-text.html) .
