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.)
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 it put out like a txt or word doc or something?
If you want OCR, it outputs a PDF.
But it can also output to image formats like PNG (but images don’t have OCR).
There are lots of options in the software, but the defaults work for 90% of regular documents.
It's been a minute, but when I was looking at these types of software (not this specific one mentioned) they can create a PDF with the scan images and OCR text overlaid on top of the scan.
Just use bedrock Claude or gpt, they both do that really well I’ve found.
I can recommend naps2 as a scanning application. But you still need either a lot of time or a proper document scanner.
