Following my transition from DT to Eagle Filer I’m looking for an app that applies OCR and makes the PDF document searchable. Later I plan to buy a Scan Snap scanner but for the moment I’m using my iPhone and a Brother scanner that sends me the file in PDF to my email.
There are a ton of ocr apps available for the Mac (link at bottom), but while you are making up your mind you might want to try Scannable for your iPhone. It works well, it’s free, and doesn’t require Evernote.
Yes. The way I use it is to capture one or multiple pages. Then click the checkmark on the far right, choose Send, Share, and select a destination. The PDF is automatically OCR’d.
You can also use the Save button to save a photograph to your camera roll.
