Bad solution simply because of information loss!

* after STT, there is objectively less info in the storage format

* OP cannot take advantage of rapidly advancing OCR tech on the storage

* inevitably OP might end up saving the originals “just in case”- rendering this entire process useless

Using STT today doesn't stop OP from also storing high resolution scans for the future.
