dwlotter 0 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Can Evernote OCR index a folder of 1000 jpg images of scanned docs? The images are mostly typewritten. Some PDFs are there, but mostly JPGs. If so, can someone outline the steps for doing this? (or link me to a page that outlines this exact process). I have Fujitsu's ScanSnap, if that helps. Thanks for any help. Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted July 24, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted July 24, 2018 I don't see a problem; just import the images to Evernote as note attachments. In Windows/Mac the easiest process is an import folder. Be aware that Evernote's OCR process is for search process only. You do not end up with OCR'd documents Theres information at https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314518-How-Evernote-makes-text-inside-images-searchable Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted July 24, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted July 24, 2018 Depending on your subscription level, you might run into your monthly upload limit by importing all of those images at once. See https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005247 Link to comment
dwlotter 0 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Can you recommend a software that can OCR thousands of images of text and index them? Link to comment

My longtime software choice is PDF OCR X (Mac/Windows); It's not expensive and does the job. It OCRs images, separate files or embedded in a pdf. In a pdf, it overlays the image and the text. As for indexing data contents; I use Evernote ?. Mac OS also maintains an index for Spotlight searching. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,956 Posted July 25, 2018 Level 5 Share Posted July 25, 2018 ABBYY FineReader is my choice for this sort of thing, though I haven't done thousands of images with it. It's not inexpensive, but it includes a lot of tools. Link to comment
