OCR Optical Character Recognition

Has anyone experience of OCR, please?

Perhaps this is not possible but I what I would like to achieve is:

OCR a jpg photo image (caption for a museum exhibit) which is in German.
Feed the result into Google translate to produce an English version.

I am trying to avoid typing the several paragraphs of German straight into Google translate. I can read half of it but not all.

Crazy, huh?

Any other suggestions welcome, of course.

FORGET IT - I have found a method but have been unable to delete this post for some reason.

Have you tried an image to text translator programme? Most I know of are free and for my one brain cell are easy to use

Forgot to mention, once it has translate to text, copy and paste into Google Translate (detect language)

Thanks Jupiter.
It turned out easier than I expected.
I used:

Then pasted it into Google Translate as you suggested.

YM we seem to be educating you at the expense of witty postings. Any more of this techno-babble and I'll report you to Trump and Elon.

ES.

Educating me! That is one of the beauties of SH, its kind people (and the GD).

Do you think that Donald will even understand the problem, never mind my solution?

(For a minute at the time I had convinced the YMs that I was 'smarter than the average bear'. I was soon disillusioned.)
