https://github.com/roatienza/deep-text-recognition-benchmark (available weights are for tasks that seem similar to OCR so there is a good chance you can use it out of the box). With a good gpu it should process hundreds to thousands image per seconds, so you likely can build your index in less than a day. (Maybe you can even port it to your iphone stack :) )
https://github.com/microsoft/GenerativeImage2Text (You'll probably have to train on your custom dataset that you have constituted)
There are tons of other freely available solutions that you can get with a search for things with keywords like "image to text ocr" "transformers" "visual transformers"...

I've just released TextShot, a *free* macOS app that makes copying text from images as easy as taking a screenshot
I love using macOCR it is a command line tool though, but I bind it to a keyboard shortcut using BetterTouchTool, although you could also use Raycast, Alfred, etc to run it

Pretty insane. If you don’t want to use iPhones, I made a while back macOCR which uses the same vision APIs, with a very simple CLI interface. See: https://github.com/schappim/macOCR

Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
I wrote a free Mac app to OCR any text on screen[1].
macOCR is a command line app that enables you to turn any text on your screen into text on your clipboard. When you envoke the ocr command, a "screen capture" like cursor is shown. Any text within the bounds will be converted to text.
You could invoke the app using the likes of Alfred.app, LaunchBar, Hammerspoon, Quicksilver, Raycast etc.
