IMHO tesseract is still the gold standard os. Important to specify language.

To bad google abandoned it kind of.

Abbyy finereader is still the best ocr out there. Alas not open. (And Russian)

I think that’s what Evernote uses and it’s one of the features that keeps me paying year-after-year. It seems to be able to index just about anything I upload including photos of handwriting.
