Are there any good products for batch scanning and OCR of documents? Or services?
Just use bedrock Claude or gpt, they both do that really well I’ve found.
If it’s all pretty much letter/legal size (or international equivalent), the Canon imageFORMULA DR-C230 (and similar models) do a great job. The scanning software it comes with will scan to PDF and includes OCR.
Does the ice put out like a txt or word doc or something?
Fujitsu ScanSnap. Any model.
Do these do OCR?
It’s been a while since I used mine, but worst case, your PDF app does the OCR, whereas this machine scans large batches both quickly and reliably.
(I stopped using mine because I switched from Mac OS to Linux. I got 10 happy years from it.)
I can recommend naps2 as a scanning application. But you still need either a lot of time or a proper document scanner.
