A fellow member of the Victoria Office 365 Users Group<\/a> recently shared his excitement at discovering the\u00a0Optical character recognition<\/strong><\/a> (OCR<\/b>) functionality in Microsoft OneNote. He was particularly excited about the\u00a0\u201cCopy Text From Picture\u201d function that\u00a0gives you the\u00a0ability to copy text from an image or screenshot you’ve pasted onto a Page. It just takes one right click to open the menu – you’ll find the button right below the cut and copy buttons (see below in pink).<\/p>\n

This feature is one I love as it is a HUGE timer saver. This reminded me that another tip worth sharing:<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t want to copy\/paste ALL the text from a picture, you can install a free add-on called Onetastic for OneNote<\/a> (created by Microsoft Developer\u00a0Omer Atay).<\/p>\n

It adds a TON of functionality (stay tuned – I’ll be sharing more features in future posts!<\/em>), but one that is worth mentioning now is\u00a0a \u201cSelect Text from Image\u201d option (see below circled in red).<\/p>\n

\"clip_image002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Select Text from Image” allows you to use your cursor to highlight the portion of the text you want to copy\/paste it. In the example below I wanted to snag a line of text from a portion of an PDF invoice to send to a client. Instead of wasting time typing and opening up the opportunity for typos, two clicks and two keyboard shortcuts gets it done quick and clean.<\/p>\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right click on image to select “Select Text from Image” from bottom of menu.<\/li>\n
  2. Use your cursor to highlight the portion of text you want. Press Ctrl +C on your keyboard to copy the text.<\/li>\n
  3. Press the “Copy Selection and Close” button to close the popup screen.<\/li>\n
  4. Place your cursor on your OneNote page and press Ctrl +V on your keyboard to paste the text.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
