ocr.space
Pulls the text out of a scan or screenshot with no sign-up.
Upload an image or PDF and get the recognised text back, with a choice of three engines and support for a long list of languages including non-Latin scripts. There is no registration and the site states files are deleted as soon as the job finishes. It returns text, not a rebuilt document, so tables and columns come back flattened into reading order.
AltFTool does this too
If you would rather not leave the site, Text Extractor covers the same job here — free, no account, and it runs in your browser.

Yes. OCR.space sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
