My experience with OCR shows that most software does not read text correctly especially if the image is poor so it might be faster just to retype. Otherwise, if you have to do a lot of clean up of OCR text by proofreading it is faster to type it and get it right the first time.
I wish you could convert a JPG to a TXT for scanned text. Wouldn’t that be great.

To paste into the Notes the Format must be TXT. Unless you use an Optical Character Reader you cannot change a JPG to TXT. This is rather simplified, but the principle holds. So what can you do? I would (and do) save then to “Files” in Source Detail>Multimedia.

I have a Epson Artisan 810 scanner, Photo Shop, Corel Viewer and other viewers. When I scan the newspaper articles they all work fine, but I can not copy and paste them into a notepad. I tried a jpg extension and a TXT but nothing works. Someone must have solved this problem before and I hope they will help me out.
