Immich is not stable yet. But as soon as it is, I'm using it to replace all of my galleries.
It doesn't use OCR but it uses CLIP which accidentally unreliably does tag text like you would want once the images are server side.
There is discussion on GitHub about adding OCR so I imagine sometime after a stable it could be a feature.
Immich appears to have the most active development of all the FOSS gallery and backup apps.
So don't use it now, but keep an eye on it for the future.
To be clear, OCR isn't out of scope for Immich and we do plan to implement it. It just isn't part of our pre-stable roadmap, so other things take priority for now. We'll work on OCR after the stable release.

Something to hold out for
I no longer have access to a Samsung device, but found an old reddit thread recommending "Smart Switch to PC". At a minimum, may make it possible to convert the tags to exif tags directly?
Might be worth a shot, anyway.
That does actually export all my tags. To some sort of weird csv-like format, but they sure are exported. Will have to look into the import format if/when I decide on a new service. Thanks again for the tip.
Samsung has a Smart Switch client which you can just install on your PC, so that's convenient.
Neat, definitely something to look into
I mean Immich does this, but not in the app, you have to host a server.
I'd be fine with that.
Though I can't find any mention of OCR on the website.
There's some discussion about it here. It's "quasi OCR" using CLIP. You can also replace it with different models, maybe one of those will work better.
That doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence, though Immich does look better as a whole than most of the other offerings I've seen.
I'm looking for the same, excited to see if anyone has ideas!
