OCR iOS file scanning

The scanning feature on iOS files is really helpful but I can't see how enable OCR - or is it just not capable of that?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

Hey there makes-scents,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’d like to know about using optical character recognition (OCR) on your iPhone. We’ll be happy to help with this.


This may not be a feature when scanning documents into Notes but there are many third-party apps available on the App Store that do OCR scanning. You should do a search there and review the different apps so you can determine which one would best fit your specific needs. 


We hope this helps. Take care.
