Are there any good products for batch scanning and OCR of documents? Or services?

    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.

        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.
