ChatGPT reads text out of a screenshot or a photo of a printed page, and it is usually right. It can translate or tabulate the text in the same step. Accuracy drops with blur, bad light, cursive and dense tables, and when it cannot make out a word it tends to write a plausible one rather than flag it. One image at a time, not a box of scans.

the catchIt fails silently: a 3 read as an 8 looks exactly like a correct 3. Anything with numbers you will act on needs a second look against the original.
