Is off the shelf open source OCR not reliable for an image of reasonable fidelity, like a smartphone camera picture of a B&W text document?

I ask because it feels like I should have an app that lets me scan with my phone, process the text with OCR, then let me plain text search every scanned document I have.

The first part only natively made it into iOS Notes a year or two ago, but that whole experience above should be out of the box, IMHO…
