(Archived) How does Evernote decide what to "OCR"?

[ndw 0]

I know that Evernote isn't performing traditional OCR, but how does it

decide what images to attempt to scan for words?

Looking at the data I gathered from my backup program, I see that a

bunch of business cards that I sent to Evernote via email from my

iPhone have all had attempted recognition, but business cards that I

uploaded from my flatbed scanner through the Evernote Mac application

have not had any attempt.

The flatbed scanner does a better job than the iPhone, so I was hoping

to scan a big stack of cards, but if I won't be able to find them with

text search, I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I also clipped an image from the web that's purely text and no

scanning was attempted on it either.

Is there anything I can do to request scanning of images I've uploaded

if it doesn't happen automatically?

That thread doesn't really answer my question. I've uploaded some PNG images and no attempt has been made to scan them. I have a free account, but I'm under my 40MB limit, I believe.
