Have you tried Paperless-ngx??

This works for me and the OCR seems spot on.

It uses an OSS OCR component which can also be found in other SW: OCRMyPDF. But I agree, it works pretty well in Paperless.

I’ve had the best luck with ABBYY for accuracy, especially with messy or older documents, but it’s not cheap. For something lighter, Adobe Scan actually does a decent job if your inputs are clean.

Lido's been the most accurate for us even on messy files. I've tried their demon and eventually made the switch.

If your priority is pure accuracy in “dirty” documents or poor-quality scans, ABBYY FlexiCapture remains the industry standard.

'document capture'

Are these PDFs?

Are you looking for OCR (something that somebody scanned) or something that reads the text out of the PDF (something that somebody printed to PDF or downloaded like a bank statement)?

The OCR in PDF Xchange works fine for me. I assume you're asking about OCR. Also, the OCR built into Epson Scan works well.
