Can anyone share their experience with the 'copy text from picture' property please?
I did the following tests using OneNote for Mac v.15.8 on OS X v.10.10.3:
Protected PDF Documents. If the creator of the PDF document disabled content copying, you can't select and copy the text from Adobe Reader. You can use OCR software such as Microsoft OneNote, FreeOCR or SimpleOCR.
1. Created a PNG screenshot and dragged it into OneNote. The embedded image DID have the option of 'Copy Text from Picture'.
2. In OneNote I did 'Save As...' on that image, which saved it as a JPG on the Desktop.
3. Dragged that image from the Desktop back into OneNote. The embedded image DID have the option of 'Copy Text from Picture'.
4. In OneNote I did 'Save As...' on that image, which saved it as a JPG on the Desktop.
5. Dragged that image from the Desktop back into OneNote. The embedded image DID have the option of 'Copy Text from Picture'.
...So the above worked as expected, although I did have to wait a minute or two before the option of 'Copy Text from Picture' appeared. I don't know the reason you're seeing different results.

Thanks AlancitoXV,
I currently work with OSX Yosemite Ver10.10.3, Onenote Ver 15.8 150301,
created PNG screenshot of your reply (so it's text-based), and then dragged it from my desktop into Onenote, but the embedded image DID NOT have the option of 'Copy Text from Picture'.
I also Saved to my desktop as PNG (one time) and as JPEG (another time) a picture from my friend's notebook (which he shared with me), that had the 'Copy Text from Picture' option, and then dragged it back into Onenote, but in both cases the picture lost its ability for 'Copy Text from Picture'.
I would appreciate if anyone in Microsoft would be able to address this disparity. Seems like my Onenote is capable of 'Copy Text from Picture' only for some pictures but not for others.
I am wondering if there's a certain role..
Thanks a lot!

Roy ~ I did the same with identical software versions & PNG screenshot and, after waiting a minute, the embedded image does have the option of 'Copy Text from Picture':

As could be seen in the snapshot i provide, i do not have this option available, only copy link to a paragraph.
I've waited more than a few minutes...
Hopefully this bug could be fixed in next versions of Onenote..
Thanks,
Roy

Roy ~ You could make sure Microsoft is aware of the problem via this feedback form:
www.microsoft.com/mac/product-feedback
…Click Select a Product… and choose OneNote for Mac. Since that site doesn't accept screenshots, you could link to this thread.

I've tried this action in another Mac of mine (laptop at home, instead my desktop at work) - and brilliantly, the 'copy text from picture' became active! ... (which is basically good news for my laptop, but sort of bad news for my desktop.. ) - seems like there might be some platform incompatibility issues on some machines. Roy
