Automatic OCR

DEVONthink Tips

I am new, maybe obviously. I am importing a large number of pdfs (w/OCR) into a database but do not want the program to stop and ask me for a file name for each import. I want to be able to start the import/OCR and go do something else, just let the program name it whatever the file name is.

I have been unable to find a setting or preference to allow me to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, how?

I agree, and there’s a preference that will let you run a queue of scans to OCR without that little panel popping up, stopping the queue and waiting for you to enter the title of the the scan.

See DTPO Preferences > OCR. Uncheck the option to set attributes.

Allright, I have been looking for the same thing myself.
