Video To Text Software

Hi members, advice on software, please.

I'm needing to capture 26 000 of our client's details (name and tel no) onto a spreadsheet. The only way we were able to save the data before the app we were using crashed, was by videoing the info. I found a possible solution using an OCR - optical character recognition BUT it means pausing the video to screenshot the info so that the OCR software can turn it into text which can then be entered onto a spreadsheet. Very time-consuming, to say the least! My question is: does anyone of you clever people know of a quicker way to do this? Software that can grab straight from video without having to screenshot every couple of rows?

Any help would be amazing!!

 

Why Video? what are you capturing from? You can automate screenshots & with the right software like Abbyy process the images. I have a PDF printer at work that I actually print to jpg, and Abbyy then scrapes data from them, seems like a bit of setup for a one off thing in your case.
But I've never heard of a video OCR. You could convert the video to jpgs, but you'd likely have a ton of duplicates @ 15,24,or 30 fps.
