This is easily the most underrated GPT-4o feature.
Writing down notes with pen and paper scratches an itch that typing text doesn’t fulfill. Studies have shown that physically jotting down notes is a better way to retain information. However, by writing stuff down, you miss out on the perks of digitizing your notes. ChatGPT helps you get the best of both worlds.
When OpenAI supercharged the free version of ChatGPT with GPT-4o in May, users could upload files, including images, documents, and more. This update allowed users to interact with images in multiple ways, including extracting text.
This capability means you can upload handwritten documents, from sticky notes to meeting and class notes to packing lists, and convert them into text. Then, you can use that text to create new content by copying and pasting it into presentations, emails, outlines, essays, Quizlets, and more.
Sound too good to be true? I thought the same, but after testing the tool multiple times, I can assure you that it works efficiently and quickly.
