PowerToys to the rescue
The tip regarding PowerToys text extraction (see issue 348, p36) has been a great help. I get a number of French documents that have been scanned into PDF but don’t include text, so I can’t do a copy and paste. PowerToys has proved a time saver feeding the OCR’d text into Google Translate.
On a different note, I liked the VPN article in the October 23 edition (see issue 349,), but perhaps you could have mentioned a DIY technique using a Raspberry Pi and PiVPN? I use this whenever I’m abroad as it cuts down on the number of times bank sites and suchlike say that I’m using a different location and go through a laborious identification check.
