I use DevonThink—I think all their versions come with an ocr now. You can select a bunch of images, turn them into a pdf then run it through the ocr. It works pretty well. It does a bunch of other stuff too.

Your humble servant has a written a book about the social science of poverty in Cold War Latin America and the contexts that shaped its creation, from international sources like the Ford Foundation to dictatorships across the region. The book is in production and will be ready at the end of 2026
Book cover shows an alleyway in a Rio favela, the black and white photo has been given a bluish tinge; my name is upper left, the title of the book "Poverty of the Imagination" is at lower left and at right, in reddish text is the subtitle "The Cold War and the Social Science of Development in Latin America"

The social and class violence of the United States in combination with failed #publichealth (plus a good dose of greed) drives the import of narcotics and export of weapons that harms #méxico. Killing El Mencho is meaningless if the US can't get its house in order.
