woonoo 1 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Will OCR work for PDFs, scanned images on Local only Notebooks or must it exist on Evernote servers? Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,744 Posted August 29, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted August 29, 2021 The OCR process is a server function; notes have to be uploaded to the server btw The latest Evernote product (v10) no longer supports Local Notebooks The Evernote Legacy product still supports Local Notebooks Link to comment
woonoo 1 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Thanks I just saw that!!!! WOW WTF! Those NSA contracts must make it rain. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted August 30, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If on legacy (which is still available), no OCR on local notebooks. OCR is a server based function. And anyhow, it only serves to build the search index - it is not for extracting text from pdf or pictures. Link to comment

I'm frequently in locations with no internet access (no phone service at all), if I cannot have my notes locally on the phone, they are completely unavailable (not good!). Side question (as I'm searching for the answer elsewhere on the forums): is it still possible to go back to the 'Legacy Version'? I bookmarked the directions on how to do it and now that I'm on a new computer (& need the directions), it appears that the thread has been deleted. Link to comment

Offline Notebooks are supported for all devices The data is stored on the server, with a copy maintained on the device This is different than Local Notebooks where the data is not stored on the server Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted August 30, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Just a hint: Currently search on mobile does not work in attachments. Even if a pdf is completely readable (OCRed, by EN or by another service; or by creation), it’s content is not searched. This was confirmed to me by EN on my support ticket - no time until a fix known. I regard this as a severe shortcoming for any offline use of the mobile client. Link to comment

Just when using it offline, on downloaded content (mobile app/ settings/ notebooks/ offline notebooks). Online it searches on the server, no issue then. 1 Link to comment

OCR is a server based service. For local notes you need to OCR it yourself before uploading a pdf to EN. 1 Link to comment
