Considering digitizing 100s of 4x6 photos originally taken on 35mm film. Understand there are purpose built scanners such as the Epson FF-680.

My 4x6 photos have the typical orange timestamp in the corner. Is there software available that can read/OCR and automatically insert the date into the scanned photo file detail? Similar to EXIF data for digital photos. Essentially want to scan 4x6 photos (along with any notes on back side) and add to Adobe Lightroom catalog by date automatically.

I saw this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/computervision/s/gOsmBGhQ2c) but was wondering if anyone had a solution for the full workflow. Also do not want to upload my personal photos to some website.

Thanks.
