Best way to digitize a LARGE collection of physical recipes?

Hey folks!

Not long ago, my girlfriends mother passed away. She left us HUNDREDS of family recipes, physically, written out on cards, prints ours, napkins, etc. You name it, there is something with a recipe written on it. To help the family out I wanted to digitize the collection and make it shareable as easily as possible (and if all goes well, maybe do it with my moms, as well). I've been looking around the web for ideas and it appears that Evernote appears to be the way that most people do this, but these posts/articles all seem to be a few years old.

Which brings me to my question; what is currently the best way to take a physical recipe library, and digitize it into a shareable format so any other member of the family that wants them can have them, as well?

Ideally we would want:

-Easy import of PHYSICAL recipes (not clipping them from the web)

-Free

-Easily searchable database via text in the recipe, tags, or something ("breakfast", "baked good", "pastry", "grandma", "chicken", etc)

-Easily shareable

-Preferably these would be all in text, not pictures, that we wouldn't necessarily have to enter in manually.

-Shopping/ingredient lists are not required and would have very little factor in choice of format

If it comes down to Evernote, I don't have much experience with it, but have worked some with OneNote; is that comparable?

Thanks!
