Omit drawn diagrams from OCR transcriptions
Maybe add some way to indicate where a drawn diagram starts and ends, so that it can overlook that part of the page in the transcription process.

Ryan MergedI would like the ability to draw a box around sketches, and mark it with something like an X in each corner, and have the OCR ignore that section while converting the page to text.
I often have drawings mixed in with my notes, and it can add garbage to the translated page, especially when my drawings have dimensions or annotations. While it is sometimes nice to have my annotations converted into searchable text, I would still like the ability to ignore that block entirely. -

Mark CaronThe drawing/non-text should still be included in the approximate location so that when added to my notes, the picture/non-text is included.

NigelA marked area which would be ignored during OCR would be excellent. If OCR'ing to PDF, then insert the image as drawn.

MeganYes! It would also be great to have the image covered to a jpg/png image when converted to Google Doc. And, like mentioned above, the image was still placed on the page in the same relationship to the text, I.e. the images of the fox are converted to pngs and stay in between the lines of text converted to font in a Google Doc when uploaded.
