Using Google App Scripts to turn an exercise image into a Google doc: Pluses and Minusus

 Explainer Page by Ha Sir: https://youtu.be/UkLGPtkVlRg?si=Tw-zUdBY7Rwb0d8C


AI app: GPT-5


MY ATTEMPT: 

Original Image: 


Prompt: 

convert the image content, which is an english reading comprehension exercise, to Google

Apps Script, for creating the same document in Google Docs


RESULT: 

Google Apps Script failed to generate the expected Google Doc. 

==========

SECOND ATTEMPT: 

GPT-5 offered to provide a new javascript which will produce a text-only Google page. I complied. 

RESULT: 



==================

OBSERVATIONS

1. The method is good for converting images which may mainly include text. 

2. The resulting Google doc will retain much of the formatting of the original text image. 

3. However, if the text image contains graphic organizers, this method may not work. 

4. If the text in the source text image can be copied, then it may faster to just use copy and paste to create the Google doc, unless the text contains a lot of content.
