HP Recommended
Product: HP Smart Tank 7301 All-in-One
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I cannot enable Scan to editable text (OCR) in HP Smart or the HP Scan app. I've followed the instruction here:

HP printers - Scan as Editable Text (OCR) with HP Scan (Windows) | HP® Support

and this does not work.

 

I still only have this after following the instructions, no OCR:

This program appears in the Add or Remove programs list on my PC:

HP OCR snip.png

This is not an executable program that I can find on my PC. What is it, and how do I integrate it into HP Scan or use it for OCR? There is an HP OCR folder that contains numerous BIN, DAT and other type files, but no executable applications. This program was installed with the full HP driver pack for my printer. 

 

Help is appreciated.
