Why Screenshots Create Busywork
Text inside a screenshot cannot be searched, copied, or edited. That turns something simple into manual retyping unless you run OCR on it.
Fastest Workflow
Use OCR Image to Text on the screenshot directly. If the text is tiny, resize the image first so recognition has a better chance.
When This Works Best
- chat screenshots
- dashboard screenshots
- quotes and notes captured from articles or PDFs
The Practical Workflow
Start with the cleanest screenshot you have, run it through OCR Image to Text, and only resize or clean it up further if the first pass struggles.
