Using Google Keep on your Windows computer is a convenient way to extract text from picture. Here's how you can do it:
- Open Your Browser and Sign in to Google Account:
- Create a New Note with Your Screenshot:
Click the "Take a note" area or the "New note" button.
Click the Image icon (a small picture icon) at the bottom of the note or drag and drop your screenshot into the note. - Add Your Screenshot:
Upload your screenshot file or drag it into the note. - Extract Text from Picture:
Once the image is inserted, click on it.
A small menu will appear; select "Grab image text".
Google Keep will analyze the image and extract the text, which will appear in the note below the image. - Copy the Extracted Text:
You can now select, copy, and paste the extracted text into any document or editor.
