Fun fact: even Gmail OCRs image files. If you search for emails using keywords, it'll use the OCR results. I just wish there was a way to get access to the OCRed text.


Not exactly what you're asking for, but Google Keep has a "grab image text" menu item for any note that has an image in it. I assume it's using the same backend.


Google can do this at scale. Google Lens is amazing, and the swipe up+select on Pixel (stock Android) is amazing.

yet with all things Google, so poorly advertised
