Frequently asked questions
What is OCR indexing in SharePoint?
It’s the process of applying Optical Character Recognition to documents in a SharePoint library so the system can extract and index the text content — enabling keyword search within scanned files.
Can OCR results be stored as metadata in SharePoint?
Yes. Many OCR tools can extract specific fields (e.g., invoice number, customer name) and store that info in SharePoint columns — improving search and filtering.
How often can OCR run in SharePoint?
OCR can be triggered in real-time (as new files are uploaded), on a schedule, or as a batch — depending on the tool and how you configure it.
Is this secure and compliant for regulated industries?
Yes, when paired with enterprise-grade OCR engines. Look for tools that support encryption, access control, audit logging, and compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, or SOX.
What’s the ROI of enabling OCR indexing in SharePoint?
Huge. You unlock the value of archived documents, reduce time spent hunting for information, improve compliance, and make your SharePoint environment actually searchable — not just a file dump.
Will OCR processing preserve the original document?
Yes — most tools generate a searchable version of the PDF that looks identical but includes an invisible text layer. The visual layout is unchanged.
