(Archived) No picture scanning

[calebgardner 0]

I'm using Evernote for Mac, web and iPhone, and so far I haven't been successful at scanning the photos for search terms (and some pretty obviously have text). Am I doing something wrong?

you use DPI 150 ? you should not go higher when scanning..

Are you waiting a few minutes after synchronizing the image before you try to sync? On the Mac, you can expand the full note Info to see whether its images have received their server-generated image processing data yet.

If you wanted to put a representative image into a Public notebook, we can take a look at the details of the image processing for that image.

It seems the same thing happened to me. Check out my public notebook

Sorry, I made a mistake in that URL. Correct URL is http://www.evernote.com/pub/rainerschnelle/

This is really strange, the given link for my public notebook just doesn't work, I don't know what to do!

Now I was able to reach my public notebook with this URL:

http://www.evernote.com/pub/rainerschne ... tebook#all

Try to find any term in this photo! Result is always zero.

Thanks for supplying this image. This happened to get particularly poor results due to a number of small factors that influenced our current image processing algorithms:

* Underlines near some of the words disrupted some of the detection

* Printing in inverse colors with different contrast

* JPEG image compression "noise"

* German language words (Our current dictionary is English-only, which means we'll do a better job with English words, and have to do German letter-by-letter.)

We tested this against the next image processing update from R&D, which is currently in testing internally, and it does a much better job. This image will go into our data set for testing purposes.

Thanks for your help
