You can also do exactly the same using Libre Office Writer (I use version 7.1) for free. I've found that you can do everything that M$ Office does in Libre Office without the need to pay that silly annual subscription fee. It's always done a great job of converting PDFs too - in my experience, at least, better than M$ Office too.

Very handy tip. I like solutions to problems that look outside the box!

Thanks Brian.
Nice tip. 👍
I've found that Microsoft's OneNote also has some advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality, which works on most pictures and handwritten/typed notes. 😉

Many ways this can be done PC/Mobile and some very old school ways too! Thank you Brian! for sharing the way of the MS Word handy tutorial to save for reference 👍🏻

The problem is that the error rate in OCR is still too high for anything other than a short document. Fixing and editing an entire book for instance is still very tedious. Often the errors are real words, just not the right ones, so spell check will not detect them and you have to go through the entire document word by word to fix it.

Interesting.

In macOS, you drag your curser over any visible images of text, even if it is angled or in perspective, and Copy. The System does it, no need for MsWord or any other App.

Because it is so instantaneous and interactive, you actually have to be careful when click and dragging an image with text in it, to avoid the text, or the Mac will select the text instead of the image.

It works on all sorts of text even handwritten. Just tested it on a sample Shutterstock where the text was a hand drawn font with the characters an outline 3d drawing and the extruded 3d is crosshatched and it works instantaneously.

Thanks Brian.
Though I don't want to assume but will guess, this is Windows 11 but I don't know what version MS Word you are using.
Please clarify.

If possible, (and if i havent overlooked in it your videos) could you please do a video on the work around for the MSDT Follina exploit?

Really enjoy your videos.

Thanks

Great video and tips, thank you!
P.S. I use the "One-click reading image (OCR)" extension in Chrome to read the text in images while browsing if I need to.

[limitlesswave]

An interesting concept, but is it really too much of a hardship to simply re-type the text yourself?
On a slightly different topic, what every happened to the really cheap flatbed scanners that not only could scan images, but also featured OCR. A few scanners still exist, but they are much much more expensive than they used to be. I've also noticed that many of the ones that are in fact available, for some reason are not compatible with Windows 10... Very odd.

Oh I meant to mention does doing this infringe on any copyright issues??
