Before I start, OCR technologies help you to convert different types of documents (e.g. pdf, images) to searchable and editable data. I will show you how you can use this helpful technology when you take notes in your daily tasks.

  • Download and Open Microsoft OneNote
  • Create a simple note
  • Paste a photo (e.g. from website)
  • Right click on that and Choose “Copy Text from Picture”
  • Paste the text from the photo anywhere you like
  • That’s it!
