Is there an OCR program that will let you define a "box" around a
single line of graphics text in a bmp, and will give you a small
dialog box with that same bmp'd line and the derived letters from it?
Letting you save the text to the clipboard (after giving you a chance
to edit right there any misrecognized characters?
What I would do would be to start notepad and then start mspaint and
then load my graphics bitmap of the text pieces. Then, I would use
the mouse to surround one of the lines of text I am interested in with
a box, and then invoke the "line-oriented" OCR and it should pop up a
dialoge box with the derived and editable text above (or below) a copy
of the bitmapped line and give me the option to edit any of the
characters and the "save text to clipboard, and then I would switch
over to notepad and copy from the clipboard the text.
That seems to me like very good idea and I wonder if anyone has
written a program that will do that?

I have no idea, but it seems like a very painstaking process, one I would
definitely not want to use.

Probably as quick for the OP simply to type in the text.
