Writing notes by hand is a great way to remember information, but sometimes you may want to digitize your notes for easier access and organization. With ChatGPT, you can now have the best of both worlds. When OpenAI upgraded ChatGPT with GPT-4o, users gained the ability to upload images and documents for text extraction.
This means that you can now upload handwritten notes, whether they are from meetings, classes, or personal lists, and convert them into digital text. This text can then be used for various purposes like creating presentations, emails, outlines, essays, and more. Despite sounding too good to be true, ChatGPT works efficiently and quickly, making the process seamless and convenient.
To get started, you need to log in to your OpenAI account or create one if you don’t have it already. Once you’re logged in, you can upload your handwritten notes by clicking on the paperclip icon next to the text box in the ChatGPT interface. You can upload images from sources like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or directly from your computer.
After uploading your image, ChatGPT will extract the text from it. To ensure accuracy, you can add a simple text prompt like “Can you extract the text from this image?” before hitting enter. Once the text is extracted, you can copy and paste it for your desired use, whether it’s for presentations, emails, or any other purpose.
By using ChatGPT to digitize your handwritten notes, you can easily access and repurpose your written information in a more convenient way. This tool can be especially helpful for students, professionals, or anyone who prefers the traditional method of writing notes but also wants the benefits of digitalization. Give it a try and see how ChatGPT can streamline your note-taking process and enhance your productivity.
