Obsidian OCR

Obsidian plugin that OCRs images and PDFs in your vault so their text becomes searchable.

Pluginfree

Obsidian OCR is a community plugin for the Obsidian note-taking app that runs OCR (via Tesseract) on images and PDFs in a user's vault, making their text searchable through a dedicated search command. It automatically processes new files as they're added and caches transcripts for fast lookup, with configurable OCR providers and language packs. It's aimed at Obsidian users who keep scanned documents or screenshots in their notes.
