    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.

    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!

    - 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

    Or Shortcuts. At some point Automator will go away (though Shortcuts works >> with many of its files, so not like you would be left in the cold).

    - Third-party apps like Adobe Acrobat, PDFpen, or ABBYY FineReader for
    more advanced needs

    I use Shottr. Works really well.

    The built-in Live Text works remarkably well for most everyday OCR needs >>> and supports many languages!
