Do someone know a good OCR tool I don't have to pay for and that actually recognizes text?

@antemortem I use #tesseract embedded in #paperlessngx. It has become quite apt. There should be some kind of standalone app.

@nils_ramsperger is it difficult to install/use? I don't have that much informatics skills (I know however how to follow tutorials)

@antemortem since #tesseract itself offers just a command line interface, I guess you will need some kind of desktop or mobile app.
In this case, it depends on what operating system you use.

@nils_ramsperger I'm using Linux and just read the man page of it. I'll try with command line, then if it fails I'll try another way

@antemortem trying the CLI is a good start. On Linux there are plenty of options. If you are on a Debian based distro, you could try OCRFeeder via apt. If you are on a Fedora based distro, Rescribe via Flathub might be worth a try.
