Are there any apps out there that will index all the images/pdfs etc in a folder and create a searchable index from the data?
Basically I would like evernote capabilities but just on the desktop.
Hi, Do you want a program OCR for scan? or a simple manage of pictures, books, movies etc..?
su
yum -y install alexandria
su
yum -y install calibre
You are looking for recoll. It is a brilliant tool for indexing files - both filenames and contents. It supports a rather large number of file types.
Recoll is a personal full text search package for Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix systems. It is based on a very strong back end (Xapian), for which it provides an easy to use, feature-rich, easy administration interface.
It can be installed as yum install recoll
$ yum search OCR
should get you started, as well as
$ yum list pdf\*
Additionally, feel free to take a look at this article from Ubuntu's pages on Optical Character Recognition (OCR):
Arguably the one producing the best (most accurate) results is Tesseract
with a list of other command-line OCR programs including gocr, cuneiform and ocrad, among others; as for the OCR programs with GUIs, there's gscan2pdf, Apache's pdfbox, pdfchain, pdfedit, pdfmod, pdfshuffler, pdftk. I'm sure Okular can be used for some of your intended actions as well.
