This report outlines the processes for downloading information, extracting text from photos, and managing "keys.txt" files across various technical environments. 1. Extracting Information from Photos to Text
Tools like OneNote allow users to right-click an image and select "Copy Text from Picture" to paste it into a text document.
Metadata (EXIF data) contains hidden "keys" or info within photo files that may need to be exported or repaired:
When downloading photos from Google, metadata is often separated into individual .json or text files. Apps like MetadataFixer help reintegrate this info back into the original photo files.

Use the search bar in File Explorer with wildcards (e.g., *.txt or keys.txt ) to locate files across the entire PC.
