Copy text from picture in OneNote

“

- How to copy text out of a picture that's been pasted into OneNote. So, I have a picture here, I'll screenshot it, but you could also just copy any image and put it into OneNote. I'll switch to OneNote. I'll paste this. Now, if I right click on a picture I can choose copy text from picture, just like this. And now if I go into OneNote and do control V to paste it pastes that text. Same thing with a book. I've got a picture here from Harry Potter. I'm going to right click on this page I took from a book, say copy text from picture and I'll scroll down and do paste, and you can see all of that text from that picture is right there. Now, what's nice is because it runs OCR in that text immediately, I can search on that image. So, I'll open the search box. I'll type Harry here and you can see it found the yellow highlight in this picture here and here, as well as the title.
