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.

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.

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.
