Encoded as text, but converted to MS Comic Sans to introduce some OCR errors.

I can imagine, that instead of a text select, they instead take a screenshot.

Round trip through recall and OCR, here's your "text" or image for pasting.

Sounds dumb. I know.

OCR is regularly the easiest way to copy web page text on an iPhone by taking a screenshot first, and copying text from the photo. iPhone browser text selection is often broken.

Then again, a friend sent a screenshot of a contact and I asked AI to convert that to a vCard I could import (impressively saved time and was less error-prone).
