Exploration 0 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi guys, I have just started using the Scannable app. When I only scan one page the search function seems to be working fine, but if I scan the same page together with another one and load this 2 page pdf document into evernote, the search ability is lost. I tried to search for the same words in the 1 and 2 page documents, and it found most words in the 1 page, but none in 2 page docs. Do you have an idea about an explanation of this phenomenon? And maybe also a fix (one which is not scanning only single docs :-))? Best, Anders Link to comment
smaviglia 12 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Scannable apparently converts 1-page scans to images, and multi-page scans to PDFs. PDFs are searchable (via OCR) only for premium subscribers of Evernote, whereas image files are searchable for all users. Are you a premium subscriber? Link to comment
Exploration 0 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks for your reply. I am a premium subscriber, so it shouldn't be a problem. Do have an as to what might be the problem, if that's not it? Thanks for helping out! Link to comment
smaviglia 12 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Unfortunately, since you are a premium subscriber, I don't have an alternative idea for what you are observing. Sorry! Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,474 Posted January 19, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi. I don't know whether Scannable does any OCR by itself - I'd think not, because the Evernote servers do that job for JPG and PDF files and it seems dumb to duplicate the work. If your scans of 1 page go as JPGs this might explain why they're available quickly - the OCR queues for JPG and PDF are (apparently) different. PDFs may take a while longer to process. Do you have an old note you could go back and check on, to see whether 2+ page documents are searchable after a few minutes or hours? Link to comment
