jchiar 2 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I am using the latest version of Livescribe with Evernote. I have created some notes with Livescribe and that OCRS my writing fine. Ive sync'd them to EVERNOTE. However if i search on some text, none of the words are found. My handwriting isnt that bad. What gives? Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Are your notes in PDF format? OCR for handwriting works better in jpeg format.viewtopic.php?f=30&t=15182&p=59814&hilit=handwriting+recognition+pdf#p59616Also, be sure you've sync'd the notes UP to the EN servers, allowed time to have them OCR'd (premium accounts have higher priority & are done typically in an hour or so) then sync'd DOWN to your desktop.

jchiar 2 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 No, they are in PNG. This is the way livescribe sends to evernote. Link to comment

blysik 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If your Livescribe software is already OCRing your notes, I would believe it creates PDF files with keywords or something somewhere? I would look how it's doing that, and maybe import the PDFs it already creates instead. Link to comment
jchiar 2 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 It doesnt OCR automatically definitely not before exporting to EVERNOTE.However i got it to work. I just needed to wait a few hours for the photo recognition magic to happen.Also It doesn't do partial word recognition 'heck' versus 'check' or recognize names...Pretty cool though. Link to comment
blysik 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If you use the 'MyScript' add-on, it would do OCR at the Livescribe desktop level. I'm not sure which OCR is better, Evernotes or that. Link to comment
jchiar 2 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hate to say, but from my results the plugin seems to work better. Link to comment
