My boss will purposely screen shot text he writes so I have to rewrite it and not copy paste… not fun.
You need an OCR tool.
Or a new job with a boss that's not a wanker.
Or an iPhone with access to the email. Probably a feature on Android too, idk, I’ve been away from modern Android for ~3 years.
Lots of times I’ve realized it’s easier just to take a screenshot (or even a photo of someone else’s phone…did that tonight when my wife was getting a weird error in Netflix) and then copy the text (or just go right to search from the selection).
Google Lens can do OCR since a few years ago I believe
I know everyone complains about Microsoft AI but you can just screenshot text and have it tell you what the text says.
Now you can use text capture to copy the text from a photo
Text capture saves hours and hours
I use Microsoft PowerToys for that and dozens of other QOL life hacks.
I'm pretty sure that requires admin access to enable though.
That's when you just screen shot it again and paste the image in where you need it.
