Gostaria de sugerir que o Evernote implemente uma ferramenta para a conversão de imagens em texto, afinal hoje em dia o Evernote já consegue pesquisar palavras dentro de imagens, desta forma acredito que o Evernote não teria tanta dificuldade para implementar esta ferramenta de conversão, a qual seria muito útil.
Obrigado.

English:

I would like to suggest that Evernote implement a tool for converting images to text, since now Evernote can already search words within images, so I believe Evernote would not have so much trouble implementing this conversion tool, which would be very helpful.

Thank you.

This has been requested before. The OCR that Evernote uses suggests candidate text items for image areas that it identifies as text. In particular, that means that Evernote may make more than one guess at a single image area. So while the text recognition seems to generally follow a left-to-right/top-to-bottom order, there's not necessarily a coherent stream of text in the OCR that would match up 1-1 with words in an image.

This would be useful, I understand, but don't know how feasible it is with Evernote's current OCR technology.

Would this replace the image with the text?
PDFs are a more useful format; the text can overlay the image

DTLow, what I am suggesting is a tool for converting the image to characters.
For example, if I take a picture of a page of a book or magazine or something and want to use that text to edit it, and then use it for something else, I could use this tool I am proposing to convert the image in characters, so I wouldn't need to type all the text manually.

However I would only use this tool for these cases, it would not be something standard for all notes, but only for the images I needed to convert to edit the text.


But apparently according to the answer of our friend Jefito may not be so simple to make this implementation in Evernote since the current system that can read the texts inside the images works differently as he explained above.

The tool I use is PDF OCR X  It works for both pdfs and images

Thanks a lot for the tip DTLow, but I still think it would be great to have this tool inside Evernote itself. To convert the image or pdf and already turn them into a note. Very practical.
