Frequently asked questions
Does SharePoint have a built-in OCR editor?
No. SharePoint does not include built-in OCR or text editing tools. You’ll need to integrate a third-party OCR engine and text editor to manage scanned content.
Why would I want to edit OCR text in SharePoint?
Because OCR isn’t always perfect — especially with messy scans or handwritten content. Editing allows you to correct recognition errors, tag metadata, and ensure searchability and compliance.
How does the editing process work?
Once a document is OCR’d, the extracted text is displayed alongside the original image or PDF. Editors can correct misread characters, add missing data, or tag sections before saving it back into SharePoint.
Can edited OCR text be stored in SharePoint metadata?
Yes. Some tools let you save corrected data as SharePoint columns or custom properties — making it easier to sort, filter, and search documents later.
Can I audit changes made to OCR’d text?
With the right tools, yes. Some OCR editors log every edit, including timestamps and user IDs — perfect for compliance-heavy industries like legal, healthcare, or government.
Can multiple users collaborate on OCR editing in SharePoint?
Yes. Documents can be locked, checked out, or co-edited — depending on the tool and your SharePoint permissions.
