Already using your tool and I really like it for the simplicity. Would you think an image OCR is a feasible feature?


Glad to hear! Yes, OCR is definitely coming, though it'll be in the one-time payment downloadable version. I'm curious, what is your use case?


We have a position in accounting that gets all the delivery notes scanned. Usually there come many of them and they are not in order - or an order arrives over multiple different days. I played with your editor and used it to shift the the PDFs together that are from the same instance although collected over multiple weeks. I wished to be able to do search there. I could imagine we use this process in the future if searching is possible. It's not my task to DO it, but I like to introduce automation here wherever possible and also we really see the task getting easier / less prone to errors.


Got it, thanks for the explanation! When I add OCR I'll add the ability to search the OCR'd text within the document very soon when the downloadable version goes live. Stay tuned! I'll follow up in this thread once it's ready.


can it be linked to outlook.com?
