Disclaimer: Never had an Apple product and neither am I familiar with the OCR App depicted in ONE IMAGE. OCR graphic appears reflect 'single item' <at a time> processing of the list of *.PDF files (note by the green check-marks) -- I suggest its software working as designed vs Software Lagging <but thatz just me> With 8hrs at stake: Consider breaking up the list of PDF - into 5 groups or 200 items - then launch five occurrences of OCR app <each with a seperate file group> simultaneously - so as to approach the desired parallel processing outcome -- YMMV

With regard to Microsoft's AI search, what comes to mind immediately is "Clippy goes to college." Or perhaps junior high.

I don't agree that "Google would find it unprofitable to cannibalize its current business by following them down that path."

To the contrary, if Google offers a better product...one which links to sources, for example, or back to the list of relevant links it has today.,,,it will have built a very strong fortress of differentiated products connected using the same search engine.

Google has been working on this. It is just that a smaller firm announced first. Google also has an advantage because it speaks many languages.

The real issue is the race for credibility and listing of reliable sources linked to the Bot output.
