OCR AGAIN REQUEST #99161

Hello Phil,

Thank you for taking the time to write in and for sharing your experience so openly. We understand why OCR for images would be important for your workflow, especially if you work heavily with visual content.

At the moment, TheBrain does not include built-in OCR for scanning and indexing text inside images. That capability has not yet been added in version 15 Beta, and your understanding from your testing is correct.

Feature requests like this are tracked and prioritized through our UserVoice system, which is where our product team actively reviews feedback and demand from users. If you haven’t already, we strongly encourage adding or supporting the OCR request there, as that’s the most effective way to influence future development:

In the meantime, many users who rely on OCR workflows use external tools to extract text first, and then store or link the processed content in TheBrain for organization, relationships, and long-term knowledge management.

We truly appreciate that you continue to support TheBrain. Feedback like yours is valuable, and we’re glad you took the time to share it.

Best regards,

John
