These days OCR is also much easier to access so you can just copy the text from an image. On Microsoft laptops it is built into the Snipping Tool.
I wouldn't use free OCR with any sensitive information, though.
Sure would be nice if my brain would do that instead of screaming at me to feel wretched about a conversation I had 20 years ago!
(Oh, brain. poor brain. find some chill. be zen. ommm, etc.)
