Can u do a tutorial to fix Windows Security not opening in windows 10?

[@tearren1]

@Britec09 If possible, (and if i havent overlooked in it your videos) could you please do a video on the work around for the MSDT Follina exploit? Really enjoy your videos. Thanks

Interesting. In macOS, you drag your curser over any visible images of text, even if it is angled or in perspective, and Copy. The System does it, no need for MsWord or any other App. Because it is so instantaneous and interactive, you actually have to be careful when click and dragging an image with text in it, to avoid the text, or the Mac will select the text instead of the image. It works on all sorts of text even handwritten. Just tested it on a sample Shutterstock where the text was a hand drawn font with the characters an outline 3d drawing and the extruded 3d is crosshatched and it works instantaneously.

You can also do exactly the same using Libre Office Writer (I use version 7.1) for free. I've found that you can do everything that M$ Office does in Libre Office without the need to pay that silly annual subscription fee. It's always done a great job of converting PDFs too - in my experience, at least, better than M$ Office too.

[@yolamontalvan9502]

Thank you. I don’t want to pay $10 /Month or something to convert 1 page every month. Maybe Britec09 will make a video about that.

[@Abigail-Rebecca]

@@yolamontalvan9502 You're very welcome.

I think for most users issue is simple. Libreoffice is just visualy afwul. Sure, you can install many beautiful skins, but average person won't bother.

[@agostinhomatos321]

@Paw565 ‍ The visual is similar to MS Office prior to Office 2007 and back then no one complained. Looks should never overcome functionality, otherwise you will keep paying for newer and flashier versions of the same software with similar functionalities.

[@lindastone6868]

Very handy tip. I like solutions to problems that look outside the box!

[@Britec09]

Glad it helped!

[@UNICORNSF3ProgameplayProRACER]

Amazing video👍

[@GeoSam]

Thanks Brian. Nice tip. 👍 I've found that Microsoft's OneNote also has some advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality, which works on most pictures and handwritten/typed notes. 😉

[@Britec09]

Yeah, you can do it with one note

[@Ratchet_effect]

Many ways this can be done PC/Mobile and some very old school ways too! Thank you Brian! for sharing the way of the MS Word handy tutorial to save for reference 👍🏻

[@Britec09]

You're very welcome!

[@essamarif6810]

Thank you very much. I like and I learned from it. keep the good work

[@kevinm3751]

That is slick, thanks for the tip!

[@johngoard8272]

Really good video Brian for those of us who need this sort of thing. 😀

[@maltnz]

You could also use speech to text for something not too long. Thanks for this tip.

[@9m2sh]

Thank you very much, Brian,. This is very helpful.

[@Britec09]

Glad it was helpful!

[@penelopelgoss2520]

Thanks Brian. Though I don't want to assume but will guess, this is Windows 11 but I don't know what version MS Word you are using. Please clarify.

[@jerseyjoe2684]

Thanks, Brian. This will come in handy!

[@Britec09]

Glad to hear it!

Wow, I didnt know word could do that. Great walkthrough Thanks for sharing :-)

[@welshtony1]

Always nice to learn something new :)

[@Britec09]

Glad to hear that!

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Great video and tips, thank you! P.S. I use the "One-click reading image (OCR)" extension in Chrome to read the text in images while browsing if I need to.

[@Britec09]

Great tip!

Hi, Can I use an Intel vPro CPU on a non-vPro motherboard?

[@JoshuaTrenge]

I wonder if A1 could do it? … I may try doing it with Copilot?

[@PaulSmith-pl7fo]

Hi Brian. Did I miss it, or did you not mention which versions of Word this will work with?

[@Britec09]

I am running office 2019 and 2021

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

Lovely Brian mate

[@Britec09]

Thank you kindly

[@armor2009]

Just wondering what the app you have running on the desktop is?

Thank you! Cheers!

[@johngoard8272]

Oh I meant to mention does doing this infringe on any copyright issues??

[@WaschyNumber1]

Nice but dose word not use the Internet too for the word finding function? 🤔

[@Britec09]

What?

[@WaschyNumber1]

@@Britec09 word the Program, is it not using to search for the words too, that are in the picture to match it and than correct input it in a text document, like the Internet version?

[@TipOfTheSauce]

I’m on Apple, I assumed that everybody had the ability to copy text directly from an image at this point… I use this feature so often, I don’t even think about it anymore.

[@WrestlingFace]

good video 🤓

[@Britec09]

Thanks 😁

[@ScvmmN]

i know this is not video related but i got issue where i click on email app and it instant kicks me out of it can you show a fix please.

[@Britec09]

Ask for help on my discord

[@johnwalsh1648]

I didn't know British people said things like "most easiest," "more safer."

[@Britec09]

You do now lol

[@johnwalsh1648]

Wonderful, but my version of Word is from 2003. Now I'm broke. Can I do this with Google Docs?

[@phlotographer]

see above related to Libre Office which is freeware -- original comment by ARJ

[@limitlesswave]

An interesting concept, but is it really too much of a hardship to simply re-type the text yourself? On a slightly different topic, what every happened to the really cheap flatbed scanners that not only could scan images, but also featured OCR. A few scanners still exist, but they are much much more expensive than they used to be. I've also noticed that many of the ones that are in fact available, for some reason are not compatible with Windows 10... Very odd.

[@Opel_Guy]

I noticed that even a few years ago when I wanted one. It was cheaper to buy an inkjet printer with a built in scanner. Don't use the printer but still use the scanner. Down side it's more bulky but ok for occasional use.

[@Britec09]

What if you have loads to type? why make hard work for yourself

How to break passwords of word files or excel sheets

[@cattameme]

Damn, I been wondering how to do this for 20 years now.

[@davidharvey4059]

It doesn't work in old versions of Word, so not surprising!

[@Britec09]

Glad i could help

[@EricPenn1147]

It's just OCR. The text is not "Imbedded in the image".

[@josephtito103]

Great Tip Thank You

[@Britec09]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheAtticradio]

I’m guessing this is similar to take a photo with your iPhone go to photos open your pic - select text etc and the iPhone software will select / isolate the text you can then copy and paste that text where ever you want …

[@Britec09]

Lots of ways to do this

[@TheAtticradio]

Ah right thanks !

[@ElvisChibundu]

Google Lens does this in milliseconds

[@Britec09]

Yes, many ways to do this.

[@citizenkimi]

It may translate the text too. But rather not in milliseconds only

[@Rmm1722]

cool

[@Britec09]

Thanks

[@v.w.singer9638]

The problem is that the error rate in OCR is still too high for anything other than a short document. Fixing and editing an entire book for instance is still very tedious. Often the errors are real words, just not the right ones, so spell check will not detect them and you have to go through the entire document word by word to fix it.

[@pgronemeier]

You lost me after "We're going to open up word here...." LoL

[@Britec09]

Office is use world wide, unless your on Linux

[@frankbradford9616]

Could have dropped it into OneNote. Then it’s a simple right click and copy.

[@frankbradford9616]

Oh. Sorry you mention OneNote later in the video.

[@vamboo8918]

How you not running out of contents?

[@Britec09]

Got a wide range of topics

[@fvrrljr]

Hmm like your way. my way had more steps. i use TextMaker to PDF or would use snipping tool to texmaker to pdf or from page i would hit Print, Save to PDF. it would depend what i wanted to do. my way is tedious will try your suggestion. better to know more ways to skin a cat 🙀😿😁👍

[@Britec09]

Yeah, plenty of ways to do it.
