Welcome to the HP support community.

Enable scan to text

1. From the HP Smart app, select your printer, if it is not already selected.

2. Select a Smart Task or create a new one, and then click Edit.

3. Scroll down, and then click Document Handling Settings.

   

4. On the Document Handling Settings screen, turn on Make Searchable or Editable, and then select your language and file type, or turn on automatic file naming.

   NOTE: 

   After you enable the OCR feature with an HP OfficeJet Pro 9010 or 9020 printer, you can use the OCR feature with other HP printers.

   

5. From the HP Smart app, select your printer, click the Smart Tasks tile, and then select a Smart Task that includes an Email or Save action.

6. Open a JPG file or start a new scan, and then run the Smart Task.

   OCR is applied to files emailed or saved to your cloud account. The file become a searchable (PDF) or editable (DOX, TXT) file.
