When grading assignments, I find that what I write for one student oftenĪpplies to other students. Time you copy a chunk of text, the previous chunk of text that you had copied isĮrased. In Windows, the built-in clipboard can only hold one item. Now paste wherever you want the text to go. OneNote has converted the text in the image to text and has copied that text to your clipboard. Right-click on the image, and select “Copy Text from Picture.” Paste an image that contains text onto a OneNote page. It can convert the text in images to plain text. OneNote is part of the Microsoft Office suite if you have Word and Excel, you probably have OneNote. But if it’s a lot of text? That option is less attractive. If it’s just a few sentences, it’s not a big deal to just type it out. Or maybe there is some text I have in an image that I want to be able to edit. For the curious, the alt-text is “Image of text from a previous blog post,” and you may even be able to read that text by mousing over the image.īut, really, if the text in the image is important, I should use the text itself, not an image of the text. A screen reader would come to this image and read the alt-text. It’s just a quick screenshot of text from a previous blog post.

In that vein, I have been thinking about OCR – optical character recognition. Are our videos captioned? Do our webpages and document images have alt-text that can be read by screen readers? We have been talking a lot at my college about accessibility.
