Sometimes, however, you might have a longer PDF document that you want to grab all the text from to reuse in some manner. If you want to grab a small amount of text from a PDF file, it is fine to open the file in a PDF viewing app and copy and paste content. The import command can be found in the File menu on the Mac, or by pressing and holding the document icon at the top left of the editor on iOS. To import images, simple open them in Drafts, or use the “Import” command. The results of the OCR will be created as a new draft. Simply import the image file and you will be prompted to transcribe any text in the image. Have an existing image file with lots of text, like a picture of a sign or page from a book? Drafts can do OCR transcription of the text found in the image. This feature is most useful for capturing clear, printed text from documents. Much like the document scanning features in Apple Notes, the scanner will automatically identify pages of a document, allow you to scan multiple pages, etc., but instead of outputing a PDF scan, it will run the results directly through optical character recognition (OCR) and put the text in a new draft. On iOS, Drafts can utilizing the document scanner to convert all the identified text on scanned pages to a draft. Drafts provides document scanning interface to capture text documents (even multi-page documents), can import image files transcribing text, or works great with Apple’s “Live Text” feature.
But sometimes you might want to capture text from paper, a photo, or the camera live.
