Hello IsiPisi88
The device itself does not. If you save to a connected USB stick (e.g. a pdf), OCR is not supported.
But the supplied software (Brother Control Center, Paper Port or iPrint&Scan) certainly supports this or possibly also when saving via the "Cloud" (Scan to Server = must be activated, i.e. Internet FAX Installation Tool) - but I'm not sure about this. Ultimately, it depends on the application (software).
The user manuals usually provide certainty: https://support.brother.com/g...
