Oh, yeah, and I meant to respond. If you don't have the text stored electronically, you can scan or take a photo like you did. The other
option is to use OCR but then you have to proof read it for the
inevitable mistakes.

Modern macOS (and iOS) do a very good job with this... out of the box. Good chance Windows and other options do, too... but I do not have experience with that.

How might one copy and print that text on macOS Ventura, please.

I think it also had OCR, but if not you can use Shottr, which has it as well.

How do I find/use OCR on my iMac? ......... Ah! I asked Claude AI
=
macOS Ventura has built-in OCR capabilities through a feature called
**Live Text**. Here's how to use it:
## Quick ways to use OCR:
**1. In Photos or Preview:**
- Open an image with text
- Click the Live Text icon (looks like lines of text in a box) that
appears when you hover over text in the image
- Or Control-click the image and select "Grab Text from Image"
- You can then select, copy, and paste the text
**2. With Quick Look:**
- Select an image file in Finder
- Press Space to open Quick Look
- Click the Live Text icon or use the text selection tool that appears
**3. In Screenshot tool:**
- Take a screenshot (Cmd+Shift+4)
- In the thumbnail that appears, click it to open markup
- Click the Live Text icon to extract text from the screenshot
**4. Using the Camera (for physical documents):**
- In Notes or other apps, you can use Continuity Camera to scan a
document with your iPhone/iPad, and the text will be automatically recognized
## For batch/advanced OCR:
If you need more robust OCR features for multiple documents or PDFs, you might want to consider:
- **Automator** - You can create workflows that use the built-in OCR
- Third-party apps like Adobe Acrobat, PDFpen, or ABBYY FineReader for
more advanced needs
The built-in Live Text works remarkably well for most everyday OCR needs
and supports many languages!

I was also running around and not being detailed. Your info below is much more
detailed... and seems accurate.
