This service is free, no registration necessary. Just upload your image files. Free-OCR takes either a JPG, GIF, TIFF BMP or PDF (only first page). The only restriction is that the images must not be larger than 2MB, no wider or higher than 5000 pixels and there is a limit of 10 image uploads per hour.
Free-OCR can handle images with multi-column text and also supports more than 25 different languages. Thanks to Edward for sharing this great resource!
