Actually, I am wordless to express my gratitude to you, I have learned too many things from you. you are a brilliant brother. Hope you have further success.

Can't believe I found this now, you saved my life. I found a job as a translator, the more you type the more money you earn. It was difficult for me, because I am not a fast typer but now you have changed my game. Thank you, man.

Hi Kevin, what I like about your video is options and then after looking at the options I usually take the path with the fewest steps. I am always converting a picture of text to text and have for a long time. I also like removing the number of steps it takes to do get the job done. Thank you for this video!

Powertoys w/text-extractor - makes me easy days

[irenedayley]

Thank you, again. First time commenting, but I've used your videos multiple times when I need a "how to do...." You never disappoint, and have helped me out several times. Thank you very much!

ShareX vs OneNote
I tried both ShareX and OneNote. I used screen shots (jpgs) of scanned old book pages. The number of errors in ShareX was very significant. However the accuracy of OCR in One Note was commendable. The only mistakes were sometimes capital "We" instead of "we", or "VVho" instead of "Who" and "1" instead of "]" or "(" instead of "[" or ")" instead of "]". I didn't try any other programs. I wish One had the nice feature of ShareX called "one line" to get rid of carriage returns. Maybe there is a macro I can find to automatically remove them.
Thanks, Kevin, for posting this great video. I always love your videos.

Your videos never disappoint! Thanks Kev!

Dear Kevin, thank you so much. But what I normally do is, open the Google lens and open any photos file, and convert into text, copy and paste it wherever you want.

Totally life saving. Thanks for your wonderful video. Keep it up.

[AdvKhaled]

Thank you. You just saved me a few hours of work. Just finished converting a lot of pages to text using Google docs.

I've used quite a few of these apps, the one I find most useful is the power toys, its sites in the background and can be used straight away with good results.

you are saving lives. you have no idea how many times i had to copy the text from images by hand! thank you so much

Text extractor in Power Toys I think added recently. Earlier I used OneNote but now I am using ShareX but I think Power Toys is game changer in this regard. Single shortcut and text extracted!!!

Hi Kevin.
Just wanted to thank you for sharing all the tricks which I would have never known about. 🙏
I dont use many of them but still it's good to know that what I would have thought not to be possible, really is.

[sacsaas]

Thank you, this was genuinely helpful, and dug me out of a 2 hour rabbit hole using shady free OCR sites. Appreciate the great tutorial.

[DuncanOwiti]

I have found this video truly useful and thank you for making them. Be blessed.

[anshumanmishraw]

Thanks for sharing simplistic knowledge.

[AlaminKhan-bsgt]

Last method I am using now after seeing your video.
It's so helpful for my study.
Thank you so much 😊
