Is there an F8 application that will convert a .png copy of a text list to a text file?

png is a picture file and there is no text.

If you want OCR (optical character recognition - software that scans a
picture for recognizable text and saves the recognized text to a file),
I would suggest tesseract.

Thanks, I will look at that.

I believe that Tesseract only understands TIF files, so you will need
to convert the png before you can OCR them.

Yes, I discovered that requirement but now I am stumped by -

   The command line is:
   tesseract <image.tif> <output> [-l langid]

I thought "-l enUS" might work but no go there.

There's no man page, only a README and that doesn't tell me about the langid other than it wants it. Without it I get very strange looking text.
