2 minutes is probably long enough. I did notice that google drive doesn't seem to like it if you upload a lot of files. I have had files sit and never get OCR, but I forgot about them so they may have OCR on them now.

Also, I am not aware of a signal when it is done.

You got to love modern software. It may do it or not. It may do it within an unknowable timeframe. But if it does it, it’s wonderful.
