Question

Generate text on all files in folder from WebAccess

asked on August 27, 2019

Laserfiche has been running seamlessly for quite a while so I'm struggling to address an issue since its been awhile.

 

Short version: I need to generate searchable text for a large number of documents that have already been scanned into Laserfiche. I thought I remember being able to select a group of documents and then click "generate text." Is this feature only available in the desktop client? 

 

Long Version: Quick Fields has not been splitting a certain document type correctly. I need to find all the documents within a folder that have been incorrectly appended. The word "Wire" is in the header of the first page of each document. I want to generate text for all documents in folder (including subfolders) so I can search for the word wire and apply a tag to all documents its found within so we can reference them during an audit next week and they can be identified to be corrected at a later date.  

I know I can do this more elegantly with a workflow but I just don't have the time to set that up right now so I'm looking to employ this quick and dirty solution. 

 

Thanks in advance!

You either need to use the desktop client, or setup and configure DCC in order to be able to OCR from the web client.

By the time you go to that work, you'll probably be better off just fixing the issues with your Quick Fields session and reprocessing the documents. You mentioned that it's a specific document type. Is it possible to craft a search that will return all documents of that type? You could feed that search into Quick Fields and reprocess them to correct the issue.
