I'd like to use the true OCR function so I can photograph my bookshelves, one by one, so as to create a searchable database of all of my books (over 300 magic books). So far, no good news from Evernote.

 

Have a look at Goodreads. It has a built-in bar code scanner and knows most of the book in the world, so that you can create an extensive, searchable database of your precious books.

+1 for this feature.

 

Currently using Google Docs:

To use the OCR feature you upload the scanned image / PDF to Google Drive, then right click and select "Open With > Google Docs". It'll then open it with each page as both the original scanned image and editable text.

Thx for the tip! I had taken a picture of a document with Evernote, and needed to extract some of the text. I thought I could do it in Evernote, but no suck luck. Luckily all my photos are synced with Google Docs/Photos, so I could just right-click on my photo and open it with Google Docs - and presto: my text was there to copy/paste. But still - it would be nice to do it directly in Evernote!
