Copy Text from Images on Android, iPhone, and PC

1. Using Google Photos (Android, iPhone, PC)

Thanks to Google Lens technology, Google Photos can automatically detect the text in your photos. You can use the feature to scan for text in an image, then copy and paste it somewhere else.

It can be handy if you want to convert handwritten notes into digital text.
