I would definitely recommend online OCR . Been using it for a year now and very happy. The text recognition accuracy has been around 60% for me, so I have had to read carefully and correct any errors. But for a free solution, I can’t get too upset. Also, my boss has used a slightly different tool and has had great results with it: https://www.bisok.com/grooper-data-capture-method-features/multi-pass-ocr/ . Hope this helps
