I could really really use something that would OCR and classify all the screenshots I take of stuff to remember. Have an enormous folder of the damn things. | ||

Have you tried “Keep It”? Keep It is a notebook and document organizer for Mac, and is also available as a separate app for iPhone and iPad. Keep It can create and edit notes, rich text, plain text and Markdown files, scan documents, edit PDFs, archive emails, save web links in a variety of formats, preview and search just about any kind of file, and organize these in a variety of ways. All the files, folders and tags you store in Keep It are available in the Finder, and can be shared with other Keep It users via iCloud. | ||

> I could really really use something that would OCR and classify all the screenshots I take of stuff to remember. IMHO, a Spotlight Importer[0] would be the way to go. A quick search found the MacOS Vision OCR[1] project, which might be able to be incorporated as an importer. In any event, whatever OCR approach you prefer, leveraging Spotlight would obviate the need for a service to index and then find screenshots. 0 - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ca... | ||

I think that it’s probably doable in DEVONthink. There are flows to automatically OCR and to organize files into folders based on content. | ||

…Or scans that come off a page scanner. For years, I’ve done it deterministically by looking for key data in the OCR; but the process is fragile. |
