lol I'm always full of the most random computer questions...
Is there a program or something that recognizes text in pictures? Say you take a picture of your favorite magazine, or scan it, or take a screen shot of a website or something, I want to be able to copy and paste that text.

I'm assuming there is, since when you go to websites where you have to register, many times they have pictures of messed up letters and stuff with lines or whatever....

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) programes will do the job. There should be plenty about, so just google it and Im sure you will find what you need.
