There’s only so much time in the day, so I picked the ones that people recommended most and that seemed like good fits for what I want. NOTE: I know there are more OCR apps than this.
It’s enough of a problem that I’m not comfortable deleting the original, and I’d rather not keep two copies of every file around, so I tried to find an alternative that could output better-quality PDFs with text. The ScanSnap came with ABBYY FineReader, which does an acceptable job, but degrades the image quality noticeably when it saves the text-embedded PDF copy. With the text embedded, I can search the documents with Spotlight and attempt to organize them more easily. I’ve scanned, shredded, and recycled more than 4,200 pages so far that could have been taking up space in my house, but now aren’t.Īs part of my workflow, which isn’t very interesting, I’d like OCR software to recognize the text in scanned documents and embed it under the page images in their PDF files. I use a Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M (which has since been replaced in their lineup) and love it.
