How good is ChatGPT at understanding text in pictures?

If you just want to extract text from images, I'd recommend dedicated OCR tools. ChatGPT is awesome for text conversations but not for reading pics directly.

I think chatGPT's main strength is still here in text, but the AI world is moving fast with image stuff too.

Would be awesome if ChatGPT could just look at a photo you upload and tell you what the text says, all in one place.

I tried uploading screenshots with text into ChatGPT and it just ignored the images, didn't even try to read anything.

Sometimes the text in images is tricky with fonts or backgrounds, so OCR isn't perfect either.

FYI, you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that might help with image text extraction and AI stuff!

Not gonna lie, sometimes I just type out text from images manually because I'm lazy to use OCR apps lol.

One workaround is using your phone’s text scanner to get text from images then copy into ChatGPT. Not perfect but works for now.

I heard there's some experimental stuff where GPT models can analyze images, but not sure if that includes text reading or how well it works.

For now, I just stick to copying text out manually or using Google Lens to extract text before chatting with GPT.

Anyone tried the GPT-4 vision feature? How well does it handle text in pics?

I guess combining OCR and GPT is the best bet for now until native support is better.

I've tried using ChatGPT with some screenshots, but it doesn't seem to read the text directly. I think it mainly handles text input, not images.

The tech will probably improve so ChatGPT can read images like humans do, but we're not there yet I guess.

Does anyone know if there's a plugin or something that adds text recognition to ChatGPT?
