Level 5* gazumped 12,021 Posted November 11, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 11, 2015 Scannable does OCR, so yes, Scannable can read the amount - subject to legibility / light / shaky hands etc etc. Even so it's good practice to add details like amount, date and supplier to the title - Evernote searches don't recognise the full stops and dollar signs, just the numbers.

How do I OCR? Could not find anywhere? It does Business cards, but not the receipts. Link to comment

MusicWiz 20 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thanks, so I need to have a Premium account for that? And takes long time to OCR? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,021 Posted November 12, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yep, sorry - it looks like Scannable relies on Evernote's underlying OCR. Which is weird, I understood this was aimed at getting documents into other platforms too... https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209125897 Frequently asked questions General Do I need an Evernote account?Though not required, Evernote helps you get the most out of Scannable. Connecting Scannable to Evernote gives you the following advantages:Evernote recognizes text on business cards and can pull relevant and matching data from LinkedIn.Scanned documents saved to Evernote are easily searchable and shareable. Evernote uses a form of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) so you can search PDFs and images.Easily share scanned images with social networks via EvernoteIn order to save to Evernote, you will prompted to either login to an existing Evernote account or download/install Evernote and sign up for a new account. - OCR isn't slow, but it is minutes or hours depending on the server load. If you have a premium account anyway, you might be better off using the document camera in Evernote. Link to comment
MusicWiz 20 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 I am looking for a simple task scanning the receipts. I want the scanner recognize the title of the receipt the date, and total amount. Then I can post it under different notes, like Restaurants, Department store, gas stations, + others.I guess its a new Application altogether. There is a similar one available, called receipmate, $2.99. No support and has bugs. Last update 2013. To bad it looks pretty good, especially its integrated with Evernote. Link to comment
