I use OCRmyPDF to scan comic book PDFs en masse so they’re searchable, which makes keeping up with tons of characters more doable

It’s a really nice piece of software!

Love this. How do you do it? Any code online to take a look?

Their docs are actually pretty good! https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/batch.html

After that, it’s a simple matter of doing Cmd-F in macOS - Finder searches over PDF text :)
