I have read the (quite recent) Seeking the Productive Life: Some Details of My Personal Infrastructure and in particular the section "Archiving & Searching"; it seems to me that Stephen Wolfram spends almost his time in the Mathematica computing environment and so, is there any built-in way to extract bibliography items (author(s), title, etc) from an image? I mean an image of a scanned book or paper.

I see here https://wolfram.com/xid/0b0kqvyhnry-dlrt3u something that looks like what I have in mind but TextRecognize seems to me quite general, just a basic block to answer my question.

I see this question Extract bibliography from a PDF document but the answer https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/96525/76297 did not seem to generalize so well according to comment Extract bibliography from a PDF document

    No, there's is no dedicated function for text-recognizing specifically, e.g., the author from an image. TextRecognize can help you extract the text and TextCases can help you organise the extracted contents (see also Text Content Types), but you're going to have to do some work on top of that. – Sjoerd Smit Dec 16 '20 at 10:28
