How-To Guide: Extract Data from Scanned Deeds with ChatGPT

Step 1: Get set up with ChatGPT

Go to chatgpt.com and sign up or log in
You'll see the main chat interface with a text input at the bottom
Look for the paperclip icon (📎) or an image icon next to the input field — this is the file upload button

What you should see: The ChatGPT chat interface with an input area at the bottom and an attachment icon. Troubleshooting: If you don't see an attachment icon, you may be on the free tier without image upload. Upgrade to {{tool:ChatGPT.plan}} for image uploads, or copy-paste the deed text instead of uploading the image.
