Free software for digitizing large volumes of scans?

Question

Text recognising

Good afternoon,
tell me a free software solution with which you can digitize, for example, 2-3gb scans (pdf / jpeg)?
For subsequent convenient search in the resulting database.

Answer 1

Fully automatic software that scans documents well in the form of paper scans probably does not exist, there are a lot of nuances.
The best and probably the only free one is Tesseract. But this is a tool (console application or library), before creating a database, you will need to cut a little software, but specifically digitizing here will not impose any difficulties, rather your search tasks.
