OneDrive OCR
- Jeff CottonSep 18, 2018Copper Contributor
Unfortunately if you are a business user with a large number of files you are not allowed to use One Note. There is some limit like 20k files or something. Unsure why anyone would need that many files apparently, so if you're in business please use Evernote or something else. Not to be too much of a complainer but just like with this personal one drive offering free OCR it also offers free email encryption. And MSFT made it look this way to O365 Business users until I spent three hours trying to figure out how to turn it on and ended up calling support only to find out that my particular O365 package (the highest priced package) could only access email encryption by paying more money for something called Azure. Clearly because no one in business needs to encrypt emails.

Hi, I realise this is an old thread... I just wondered if there have been any developments on the OCR for OneDrive ? I'm finding it increasing frustrating how my iphone can search multiple images, but Office can not.. Jeff Cotton Kevin Mort

I'll need to try that again, as in the past I have not seen that being the case. Could not search at all, which it should be able to if it's reading the text.

You need to right click on the image to enable the OCR "Make text in the image searchable"
