I have heard about scanned document OCR feature in MS Office.
I was trying to copy scanned document image to clipboard and paste it as text in notepad as text, but this doesn't work.
I have Office 2016 running on Win 8.1. How to enable MODI and use it ?

You can install Modi via SharePoint 2007. MODI was removed from office 2010 onward I believe.

Hope that helps
Edit as per comment. Download SharePoint designer 2007 from the Microsoft's website (its free - about 300Mb). Run the installer and under office tools select MODI and run all from computer. Install and then search for MODI on your PC.

It's the Sharepoint Designer 2007 you want to download, not the full Sharepoint install: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21581

Use the free Microsoft Onenote Windows desktop application: https://www.onenote.com/download/win32/x86/en-US
You can paste an image into a onenote page, then right click the image and "Copy Text from Picture". The OCR text will be placed on the clipboard.

where did you heard it? Did you copied from which program to where? – Máté Juhász – 2016-09-22T07:55:23.043
