Hello & welcome to this month's edition of the Google Workspace Whisperer here on LinkedIn!
If you’re a stationery addict like me (seriously, who doesn’t love notebooks!), then you might often feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of notes you’ve got scattered around.
So, today I’m sharing a real handy tip that involves using Google Keep as your easy-to-use note taking app.
I hope you find it useful ??
Google Keep Tip: Grab Text from Image
?? WHAT it does: Copies any text from an image saved to a Keep note and pastes it into the note itself.
?? HOW to do it: Upload the image to a new note, then click on the 3 dots for More options. Click on Grab image text and the text will appear in the note. You can then remove the image if you want to, leaving just the text in the note. Then just edit the text if needed.
? Job done!
?? Examples of use:
?? Take a photo of any notes written in a notebook, save to Keep then follow the above steps.
?? If reading a magazine or book, take a photo of an article, recipe, or anything you want to capture, save to Keep & then follow the above steps.
???If brainstorming on a whiteboard, take a photo, save to Keep & follow the steps above.
