Meh! use your phone to OCR then sent to computer.
I use Techsmith Snagit all the time for screenshots or video capture on PC.
You can add in programs to send image to like Photoshop. So I added in Acrobat X and ABBYY Finereader (OCR program).
Screenshot ---> ABBYY---> to Word or text (or many other formats)
My results on the image at Bleeping:
ABBYY: "TRAVEL THE WORLD. SEE TH^E SIGHTS. HAVE GREAT DAYS AND BETTER NIGHTS"
Acrobat:
TRAVEL THE WORLD.
S E E T rtE S I G H T S .
HAVE GREAT DAYS
AND BETTER NIGHTS
Time start to finish 45 seconds

I just learned that Techsmith Snagit has built in OCR tool called Grab Text. You can do screen grab, select text, OCR it, and even edit the text in the image! Cut and paste into program of your choice.
