Apps like this are an interesting outgrowth of Apple's recent-ish API improvements. It's (fairly) easy on iOS to do bulk on-device OCR now, because the Vision framework[1] natively supports it in a fancy hardware-accelerated manner.<p>[1]: <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/detecting_objects_in_still_images" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/detecting_o...</a>
$4.99 upfront to try the app, which has a rating of 3.9/5<p>Tempted to try it but think the use cases I have for OCR are covered by Google Photos.<p>Perhaps if Memos offered a freemium version with in app purchases I would slowly build a case for unlocking all the functionality it offers.
Keep It has OCR and search for screenshots, etc., “but” also gets them out of your photos.<p><a href="https://reinventedsoftware.com/keepit/" rel="nofollow">https://reinventedsoftware.com/keepit/</a>
This is really cool, but is it really only for iOS? I have about 6 years worth of screenshot that I would love to be able to text search, but they are files on a Linux box rather than iOS.
I am buying this IMMEDIATELY. Do I need to go through each photo to have them indexed, or does it OCR in bulk based on wherever it detects text?<p>Feature request: can it also add tags for every day recognized objects with filter composition? E.g. "person lake".
Bravo! I hear people talking about a web based version which would be cool, I have so many photos I've taken of my drivers license, license plate, random addresses, contacts, etc. Always a hassle scrolling back months worth of photos or retaking just to get the same info again. Bookmarking is really cool! I think having a "Save Contact" quick action would be a really great added feature, but quick email/call is great as well! Well done, mate!
Oh man, I really wish this was available on my Mac and not just mobile. I'm quadriplegic and cannot hold my camera to take pictures, but if I could get my PA to snap pictures throughout the day and then have my Mac process them with an application like this on my iMac… Seriously, my life would be 17.25M percent easier. Seriously.<p>If the dev is reading this, any chance of a port? There may be some chocolate in it for you!<p>(Also cash, totally willing to pay cash :-))
