No idea about this specific scanner and Windows. I am on a Fujitsu ix500, and Mac. There the process is to "Scan to Folder", then it is opened in the ScanScnap Home software, the OCR is running and I am asked to choose a file name, and save the file. I have the Import Folder already selected, rename, save and seconds later it appears in a new note.

Nested tag view - how to see it in v10 Evernote
PinkElephant replied to TdeV's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Go to the tags section. You can open the tags tree there. Here you see a 3 level tree - behind the tags you see a count if you enabled show note count in the View menu. Opposite to legacy you can select when filtering for tags with child tags (1) if child tags should be included or excluded (2). The child tags list is showing (3) in the drop down. And opposite to legacy v10 offers all this on the mobile clients as well. -

Open Safari settings. Then you find this in the tab Websites (1). Choose Popup Windows from the side panel (2). You find defined websites (3) and the corresponding settings (4). Options are Allowed, Block and Block&Notify. The settings that will be applied for all websites in general you find in (5). From my experience the notifications are not always reliable. It may be it blocks, but doesn't notify even if Block&Notify is selected. -
The forum is open for discussions of all kind. THIS has as far as I remember not been discussed. The flaw does look rather minor - most users simply don't care. Here you find the API documentation (a rainy day will not be enough to read it all). Help yourself ... https://dev.evernote.com/doc/

In general for both own OCR and OCR by EN the scanner should be set to high resolution - 300dpi or better should be selected. 150dpi or less will create bad OCR recognition rates. The files become larger, but only with good picture layer quality the text layer will be correct. If the scanner software does its own OCR you need to check with that software. In the ScanSnap app provided by Fujitsu it is a single checkbox that toggles OCR on or off. If there is an OCR (text) layer in the pdf, EN skips running it’s own. It then only indexes the text layer it receives. Indexing means it takes the words and builds a location mark for each one. This means each word will be in the index only once. The index will then hold all places where it shows. The term MyContent will be there once, and then a list of files and positions inside of that files will follow. That’s how false positives and false negatives happen: A false positive will tell there is MyContent where there is none, a false negative will not show it although it is there. This happens when the word is not identified correctly. So it depends all on the OCR identifying it correctly among the cloud of pixels that form the scripture on the white background. When you open the pdf in a reader app, and you can then select the text with the mouse it usually contains a text layer. At least this was how it used to be. With modern OS doing instant OCR (at least my Mac does) it is sometimes hard to tell without taking a look at the pdf file itself. If all your scans are in English, the English language setting will be fine. Just when using several languages adding them becomes important. But again, this will not override an existing text layer that was created before the pdf was uploaded into EN. A good text layer will give good search results.

Replacement for Evernote Legacy
PinkElephant replied to johnm243's topic in Evernote General Discussions
That’s enough - to know that only a small group of users run these posts. Usually with a lot of strong expressions, and short of information. Personally I would send anybody who just now switched from only using legacy for half a year into read only mode in this forum. Who used deprecated software for more than 3 years and procrastinated with at least using v10 in parallel should first follow his personal learning curve before starting his rants. The forum has a wealth of information and solutions for anybody who is serious about using v10. Who is switching from legacy will experience a need to adapt his workflows. Who moved with v10 did this step by step. Who stood by until now has it all in one leap. Nobody to blame, who did not adapt over time did bring himself into this situation. Who is not willing to adapt should better quit now, and leave for another app. Nobody waited for you to switch and start ranting. You didn‘t move earlier out of your own decision, and you are where you are because of it. I have my own issues with v10 (as with any other app I use), but in general I prefer it 100% over legacy. -
Evernote files - loop on pdf password request

With slow I meant maybe 10 seconds, for more than 30k of files. Once the files are listed everything works snappy, like changing the order field or up/down sequence. -

My preferred OCR is done by the scanner app (in my case Fujitsu, Abby Fine Reader). When a scan comes with a text layer when uploaded, EN will not OCR it again. In this cases the embedded OCR result is used to build the search index. This means: First check if the file comes with a text layer. If yes, you need to improve OCR quality of this text layer to improve search results. If the OCR is off, search will be off as well. To optimize search results when OCR is done by EN, check the language settings in your account settings. The more recognition languages you select, the worse will be the search quality. OCR will be improved by comparing OCR output with a dictionary. When several languages are enabled, there are more false hits generated, and search becomes more fuzzy. On the other hand if you upload a document in a language not included in your settings, search may be wildly off, because the dictionary will replace the OCR reading with words from another language.

The idea is you can repeat searching this way. I have often a situation where I want to find notes using the same search. In these cases it is useful. Where it is helpful as well is when you switch between searching FOR a note, and the searching IN the note. The In-Note-Search field is already populated with the note search content. I don’t need to type anything again.

Evernote files - loop on pdf password request
PinkElephant replied to ahl's topic in Evernote General Discussions
By accident I found a neat use for it: I clipped a website to a Free test account I sometimes use. It had only this single note, so all files listed were from that clip. You would expect maybe a handful of files from that web clip. But no, there were nearly 40 files listed ! All these tracking pixels used for tracking users against their will and without consent showed up in the files list - nearly all files could not be shown, because they were a picture file with a single, white pixel. They are just used for tracking purposes - when they are downloaded, the tracker knows somebody (with all the data transferred it is a pretty individual "somebody") just opened that page. -
Can’t switch back to annual billing
PinkElephant replied to sandman1318's topic in Evernote General Discussions
It depends on how you subscribed. If directly through EN, go to your account settings (Payments, Billing, no idea what it’s called in English), down the page and cancel your subscription. Then wait until it downgrades. Then subscribe again choosing a yearly plan. -

Let the subscription expire. Once on Free, choose the appropriate plan and subscribe again. -
Control Which Image Shown in a Note's Thumbnail/Snippet View
PinkElephant replied to marcelo's question in General Feature Requests
@Rileydog6 I just imagine an update mail from EN every month about "look here, and we still intend to do nothing about it". Not good for your blood pressure !

There are different options to what can go wrong: Local/app, local/computer, local/network and global/network. Some examples: L/A: Outdated cached content, website data for Evernote.com or it`s derivates, remains of a legacy install L/C: Installed plugins, especially ad blockers, PC Firewall, Antivirus / Cyber security software, on Windows bad registry entries L/N: Network firewall, DNS filters (like a Pi-Hole or other ad blockers), activated VPN (especially if it routes all traffic through a corporate network) G/N: Everything outside of the local network, like an ISP blocking certain sites Since nobody knows your setup, you need to find out yourself. If you think everything is fine locally, try a personal hotspot from your phone to circumvent the ISPs network, for example. -
Evernote files - loop on pdf password request
PinkElephant replied to ahl's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Mac 10.84.3 - the files position is in the left panel. But clicking on it produces a blank main area - nothing is displayed at all. On the web client it worked right away. A logout/login then made it work on the installed client as well. On switching between Files and other positions opening the files view is pretty slow. I will wait some days - maybe it needs to run an indexing first. -

How to change double spacing to single spacing
PinkElephant replied to SpacecoastWalt's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Even if it is a carry(age) over, there is one difference to other apps: Usually <Enter> starts a new paragraph, <shift-Enter> a new line inside of the same paragraph. To me it seems EN treats both the same. -
