The verdict

Typing a few words into Excire Foto finds matching pictures in your own library, and it reads the text inside photos too, such as signs and menus. The analysis runs on your computer, so nothing is uploaded. It also groups shots by people, scene or date, removes duplicates and flags the sharpest frame. You pay once with no subscription, and it runs on Mac and Windows.
