OCR

Free OCR on that suggested list is online so just save in your Browser favourites same as anything else.

If it's an install file just save that somewhere, HDD, DVD, USB key etc.

Windows Fax and Scan does not have built in OCR. You need a third party application for that functionality.

Here is a list of the best ones you can try:
