Change An Office Product

I had OCR in my previous printer not this one.

You must pay an exorbitant fee for OCR of quality anywhere that is why I wanted to use OneNote as I had before with 2010.

In 2019 they discontinued it after 2016. My question stands, can my licence be swapped to go from MS Office Home and Student 2019 to MS Office Home and Student 2016? It is click to run and not a subscription -paid in full.
I tried calling M$ - forget it

 

You looking for screen OCR? Have you tried anything else? GreenShot OCR , Capture to Text , or buy https://www.abbyy.com/en-us/screenshot-reader/
I use Abbyy myself.

 

Because I am an average user, would you recommend capture to text - it appears on the surface to be the most straightforward but I did not download yet until confirmed.

 

I have used capture to text is is fine, but if you have the money Abbyy is good. It used to go on sale and once I posted here when they gave it away.
Back with XP is used a program called Kleptomania, haven't seen it around..

 

Yes, Abbyy I’d recommended by Epson but I will have to save up for that one. Thanks a lot!
