How do I convert a picture to text from Windows 11?
Hi everyone, I have several screenshots from scanned documents and I'd like to extract the text so I can edit or copy it. I've heard this is possible with OCR (Optical Character Recognition), but no...
Google Keep is a free, web-based tool that works perfectly on Windows 11 for converting pic to text. Here’s how you can do it step-by-step:
Step 1: Open Google Keep
Step 2: Create a New Note
- Click the "Take a note" area or "Add note".
- Click the image icon (a small mountain with a sun) at the bottom of the note to insert a pic.
Step 3: Upload Your Screenshot
- Select your screenshot or pic from your computer.
- Wait for it to upload and appear in the note.
Step 4: Extract Pic to Text
- Click on the uploaded image.
- In the top right corner of the pic, click the three-dot menu (More options).
- Select "Grab image text".
Step 5: Copy the Extracted Text
- Google Keep will process the image and display the extracted text below the pic.
- Highlight the text, right-click, and choose Copy.
- Paste it into any document or text editor for editing.
