You can also scan a picture as an image and type it out using Transcript
which splits the screen so you can see the image on top and type your
text down below. I've done lots this way but only on relatively shorter
pieces, like obits, where I want to put the text into Legacy.

True. But if you want to include them in a report they usually come out
too small to be readable. I like to transcribe newspaper obituaries in
particular and use OCR software if the situation calls for it.
