transcribing-images
From the author
Reads the visual content of slides, pages, and images the way a human would, not just their embedded text. Use when a PPTX or PDF has image slides, screenshots, charts, scanned figures, or flattened-to-image layouts that the built-in pptx/pdf skills read as empty; when asked to transcribe, describe, OCR, or extract what is shown in an image, slide deck, or document page; or when embedded-text extraction returned little or nothing from a visually rich file. Triggers on 'read this deck', 'what's on these slides', 'transcribe', 'OCR', 'extract text from image', 'describe this chart/diagram', .pptx/.pdf/.png/.jpg with visual content.

Covers content inventory, text extraction, page rasterization for visual inspection, embedded image/attachment/table/form-field extraction, and choosing the right reading strategy for different document types (text-heavy, scanned, slide-decks, forms, data-heavy). Do NOT use this skill for PDF creation, form filling, merging, splitting, watermarking, or encryption — use the pdf skill instead.Documents★ 99
