how to insert text in images sequentially in a directory

Question

I have tried the following:

n=1
for index in image*.png; 
do convert $index -fill white  -undercolor '#00000080'  -gravity South -pointsize 44 -annotate +0+550 “image`echo $n`”;
((n++)); 
done

This results in an error:

convert: `“image1”' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3272.

and so on till the end of all image files in the directory.

Basically I'm trying to insert text as the filename in the image.

Your plain double quotes around “imageecho $n” have been replaced by opening/closing double quotes(*). Also, the echo is unnecessary, try "image$n.png"

(*) possibly the deed of an editor not meant to edit code, editing with Wordpad perhaps?
