Years ago, as I was researching and documenting my family tree, I ran across a birth record for my maternal grandfather, which you see in the first image below. Besides being tough to read, it's in French. At the time, I had to go through some hoops to get it translated to English, but I thought this would be an excellent test of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to see if it could extract the text from this not-too-clear document. I uploaded the document to Perplexity and asked it to "extract the text from the attachment". In a few seconds, it delivered the text you see in the screenshot at the bottom. Pretty cool.
