I think some people already Know about the very useful OCR Scanning bot that we have here in Fediverse.
IO have used it, many times, and it's so handy -- all you need is :
* to have an image with text you wanted scanned.
* to send a message -- BEST of ALL , a Direct Message so you keep it private.
* to the neat @OCRbot
Wait a minute or so, and your Notifications will Show a Reply from it. With the scanned text.
Output is quite good, usually only needs to remove extraneous Line Breaks -- so text flows naturally as intended.
Watch this topic for the response coming directly to it.
REMINDER -- much more Civil to use it via DM, unlike someone at another instance (not naming) who abused this, daily, on the Local Feed line.
Reason to create a Filter in my account there, actually. Get rid of the noise.
Thanks to the creators of OCRBot at fedi.lynnesbian.space

Geuysir
As the protracted sunset continued, we decided to make Geysir our last stop and venture to Gullfoss another
day,
The water from the springs here ran 80°-100° C and trickled along rock and pathways, lined with signs telling
everyone not to stick their hands in it. One geyser went off every couple minutes, to the delight of fellow
tourists Snapchatting and selfie-ing the experience, as smaller vents gurgled and spewed the rotten smell of
sulphur into the air.
