I did not spend enough time looking at this but got stuck on where
or how to add the "Run Applescript" action.
From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Hi,
Did the email program add or delete some words or punctuation?
This did not work for me, the script had errors.
And why is the word “image” there?
Thanks,

E.T.,
I pulled in the PNG file to do OCR, and inserted the result where the
“user uploaded file” was found. Here’s the total answer. Dows that
“stuff” in the middle make sense?
Hahaha... it works!!!
Here it is. All it takes is a single Action, to run a little Applescript.
1) In Automator, create a new "Quick Action".
2) Add a single "Run Applescript" action, like this:
Workflow receives
Input is entire selection
Image
Color
jos a Output replaces selected text
in
k Run AppleScript •
on run {t1 IpuL, paran }
set thedate to (curren ) as
tell application "System Events"
keystroke thed
end tell
end --
3) Save it - I called it "type the date", you can call it whatever you
like.
4) In System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Services, locate the
"type the date" service, and add a shortcut. I used
"command-control-option-D", again you can use anything you like.
That's it. I switched to Mail, pressed the shortcut. The very first
time, a dialog appeared telling me that Mail wanted to control
Automator. I allowed.
It just works. Type command-control-option-D, and it types the date
and time.
You will get the same dialog when you use it with an application for
the first time only.
You also need to have any such application allowed to "control your
computer" in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Accessibility.
If not, you will get a "... is not allowed to send keystrokes" alert.
