Thank you for the short and informative video, I saw that a lot of comments were mentioning they're struggling to find the "copy text from picture" and so was I. The fix I found which I hope hope it's helpful to others is that in settings>options you have to turn on "class notebook tools" in order for the option to appear.
This option does not always appear for me. I am trying to find a common thread between images where I do have the option and images where I do not and can't seem to find the common link. Furthermore, when I select an image I don't have a "Picture" tab appear. This is no matter what image I choose.
Great Video, I had the problem with "Copy Text from Picture" not showing up as I'm running the cloud version of Office 365. I waited overnight and it still wasn't there. I had to download Office and install it in order for the Copy Text from Picture feature to appear.
This works only for english. When I have text in a different language, it is not recognized by Onenote for windows 10 could based OCR. Is there any way to fix this? @chris
Hello, So I've been using onenote on my desktop and I like the picture to text feature, recently I've been using an iPad and I've noticed that text to feature doesnt show up Do you know if theres a way I can make it work?
What if i have this handwritings in pdf format. I receive via email questionnaires form by people and I have to retype 100 information such as name, birth, addresses, etc.
Thanks for the video. Just out of curiosity, does Microsoft *automatically OCR all images* you add to your notebooks or just the ones you request by accessing the "Copy Text from Picture"?
Great question. It appears all images are being uploaded and scanned by Microsoft. That is what allows the text to be searchable. Let me know if this helps.
Claudia, it has been out for a while. Are you using OneNote? Meaning OneNote the desktop version? There is OneNote for web, and OneNote for Windows 10, but this does work in OneNote.
@@ChrisMenardTraining Thanks, that was it. I used "OneNote for Windows 10" which seems to be an unusable slim version of "OneNote" which must be downloaded an install separately.
Can i compare these two "copied to text" image in onenote ...any vba... Actually my concern is .. I have two image which has text in it.. i need to compare those text whether matching perfectlu or not
I received a pdf of my bank statements for the year. Each page is separate image. Is there away to covert all images to text instead of one by one? The option to convert to text disappears after a Cntl A.
Awesome video. Can it also pull text from a PDF? I remember using an OCR scanning machine at the NCR data centre here in Vancouver 1972. I had to scan cash register rolls from 2 Dept store chains. The NCR 510 main-frame only had 4K memory.! Computers have come a long way in 50+ yrs
With numbers it doesn't work? I tried it with Text which worked, then i tried with a list of numbers which didn't work. Did anyone manage to extract numbers/figures?
The copy text from image most often fails to appear, which is frustrating, especially when it has worked before. It is too unreliable, better off using an offline app.
i have hundreds of photos in my onenote and not one time has this option ever showed up. i believe that this is an experimental feature that only a select number of microsoft account users get.

thank you for helping but the text is completely different after pasting please help me

OneNote is not your best option for this. I would use Adobe Acrobat or some other PDF editor that use optical character recognition (OCR).
Thanks, For some reason I can not search for words inside of a picture?
Thanks for this fantastic tip!
Thanks Gregory!
I don't even see that option
me either

microsoft word and adobe reader does this already.

lies. all lies.

It is in my OneDrive for Windows 10 and OneDrive for three accounts I have. It has been around for a while. It is not an experiential feature.
I do not see this feature either :(
Same with my OneNote for Windows 10
