Looking at this, it gave me this other idea.

I was looking over older State building codes from early 90s for a homeowners association issue.

Most of these older codes are scanned pictures of the text.

It would be interesting if they have some type of OCR extension for ChatGPT where you could upload the image of the pages and it could OCR and work with the text.

This same situation happens with the city council agendas current day. They make these 300 page pdf documents all of scanned images of the text. It is really hard to search them and figure out what is going on.

There are a few companies who are actively tackling these types of challenges. The space is called "Intelligent Document Processing".
