If you upload an image file to Google Drive and right-click on it to open the file in Google Docs, you get very accurate OCR of the text in the image. I’ve used it a lot for both English and Japanese, and it has consistently worked very well.

I just tried it with the not-great-quality image at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1587043 . The result for the first four lines was:

“This building was erected around 1874 to provide a location for a seismometer of the British Association. A seismometer is an instrument which is designed to record earthquarkes and the one located in this building was only one of a series of such instruments located in the vicinity of Comnie to investigate the earthquakes which had been, and continue to be, prevalent in the area.”

The only mistake seems to be “Comnie” instead of “Comrie.” (The misspelling “earthquarkes” appears in the original.)

In contrast, the In-Browser OCR gives the following for the same four lines:
