In iOS - for at least a few years now - you've been able to just select text right out of an image.

Often I take out my phone and snap a picture of a serial number from the back of whatever appliance.

And then right there in that photo, I just select the text and paste it into wherever else.

And in MacOS, you can just dbl click on any image at all (including screenshots) to open Preview, and instantly select whatever text out of it.

Super handy.

On a related note: it's also super handy that in MacOS, you can CTRL-C any text or images, then go to your phone and just paste. The text or image just shows right up on your phone. It works in reverse too.

None of this is AI, just well-integrated basic features.
