Starting from June 2022, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities are no longer offered by the HP Full Feature Software and Drivers and the HP Universal Scan Software must be installed in addition to the printer software to allow OCR capabilities.

 

For HP print drivers downloaded after June 2022, the HP Universal Scan software is required to enable the Save as Editable Text (OCR) shortcut in HP Scan. HP print drivers downloaded before June 2022 do not need to install HP Universal Scan.

 

If the HP Scan software was reinstalled, please follow below steps to install the HP Universal Scan Software and enable OCR capabilities:

For any problem you may experience using OCR, please start a new topic in the community with a clear description of the problem and your operating system information.

 

Regards,

Shlomi
