Make Text in Image Searchable is Disabled

Learning Tools for OneNote is a free Add-in for OneNote that helps everyone improve reading and writing skills, including gifted learners, students with learning differences or a combination of any of a broad range of unique learning abilities. We would like to have text box like control to contain the text arranged in text boxes but OneNote only allows resize on width but not on height. Also we cannot turn wrapping off so that we have small bounding boxes to contain large text. If we copy paste the textbox from MS Word it paste that box as an image.

When you clipping a screenshot into OneNote, and want to copy text from picture.
But, sometimes you find something difference in right click menu.

• On the right click menu, there cannot find 'Copy Text from Picture' item.
• 'Make Text in Image Searchable' is disabled.
• 'Alt Text' is empty.

Choose Language for Make Text in Image Searchable
After re-launch the OneNote, right click on an image, you will find:

• 'Copy Text from Pictures'
• 'Make Text in Image Searchable', can choose Language to OCR.
• 'Alt Text', show the OCR text.

Tip:

• OneNote cannot recognize the text when the picture is smaller.
