RevMoose 1 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Is Evernote ever going to come out with a feature that allows receipts, etc. scanned into Evernote via the Evernote scanner to be read by OCR like the Neat system does? I use a Windows 7 Desktop and scan in all my receipts for both personal and business. But if I wish to find one I have to stumble a whole bunch of PDF documents rather than doing a search. Given the fantastic program Evernote is, it seems that this would be a no-brainer. Dan Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,030 Posted July 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi. Are you a free, plus or premium user? If you're premium and are scanning at a reasonable resolution, your receipts should be OCR'd automatically... Link to comment
RevMoose 1 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 I am a Premium user. Is there something I need to configure? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,030 Posted July 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted July 7, 2015 At a guess, you either need to be scanning to a 'searchable' PDF, scanning to a folder on your desktop and doing batch OCR before uploading, or scanning at a higher resolution. As you're premium, raise a support request - choose an appropriate option in the first dropdown after logging in here > https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action - or reach out on Twitter @Evernotehelps Premium / Business users also have access to a Chat option (7am-7pm PST weekdays) - click 'continue' on the support page after logging in.

Candid 167 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 If you would like your receipts more carefully documented you might take a look at using Evernote with Expensify: http://help.expensify.com/evernote/Don't know quite what your goal is; expensify is aimed at writing expense reports: http://use.expensify.com/ Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted July 7, 2015 Level 5 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Instead of bringing the thermal receipts back to my home scanner, I just use the CamScanner app in my phone to capture the receipt as a PDF and send it to Evernote. https://www.camscanner.com/ Link to comment

Does the Evernote Scan Document automatically crop down to the thermal receipt size?2.) Where would I find the Evernote Scan Document? I am using the latest version of Evernote Windows desktop.(I thought Scannable was only for Apple phones.) Link to comment
