Several. My scanner was delivered with a copy of Abby Fine Reader. This is professional grade OCR, but it will only work on files build by the scanner software. For the occasional OCR I use "owlOCR". It is a Mac app, that does some tricks on pictures and pdfs. In many cases MacOS support grabbing text from pictures natively.

The slash will be followed by the drop down list immediately, no matter if at the beginning of a line, or somewhere in the middle. If it is followed by anything that does not lead to an existing item, it will be folded right away. Sometimes it is not obvious - for example an X will show the checkbox option. If the combination makes sense, it will stay open, reduced to the still possible commands. When you type the 8th character, it will go away, even if what is typed is still matching an option. Unless you press "ENTER" nothing will be inserted. Conclusion: If you manage to ignore it, in most cases nothing will be inserted. However I agree it would be good to be able to switch it off by a setting.

Tag Sorting in v10
PinkElephant replied to FredJ's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Tags are in general sorted alphabetically. You can try to put a „period“ ( .myimportanttag ) at the beginning to make a tag appear on top. -
Yes, it needs to wipe the local data. You can check whether there are duplicates. Look up the database path in the Finder - XXX is your user name (it likely is a hidden folder, you need to unhide it if it is not already done): /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Evernote If you see more than one user in this location (arrow), you have either several accounts registered, or several database duplicates.

How to change double spacing to single spacing
PinkElephant replied to SpacecoastWalt's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Yes, the current team is a permanent source of surprises. Many are pleasant, some surprising - but there is a bunch that I find annoying. The unexplained GUI changes are among these. -
Sudden loss of notes / unable to login
PinkElephant replied to cyclical's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Go to EN settings, first tab, scroll down all the way: That's on the new version. Mac 5.5. is loooooong outdated - the last legacy version was 7.14. The database probably won't do you any good. If you still have a working login on your client, you can try to take the Mac offline, and open EN. If it opens, export all your notes to ENEX files. Do this notebook by notebook ! You can then import them into the new client after you installed it. You need at least MacOS 10.14 to do so. Your Free account will not do for this operation - the upload is limited to 60MB per month, which will not allow any significant import operation. You will have to subscribe to get enough upload volume. -
There is slow and slow. For day to day use it is fast for me, no issues. Where it is slower is on multiple note operations. If it is slow (on adequate hardware) in daily use, it may be the local database is corrupted. Then replacing it with a fresh copy usually solves the issue. It will be slower as well in the first days after converting from legacy, and when opening notes that have not been opened in v10 before. Finally make sure to update to the latest version - there was a change introduced with collapsible sections and lists, that cause the client to slow down when editing long notes.

Support not available, loops through login to web
PinkElephant replied to AndyDent's topic in Web Client Issues
Actually Safari is my main browser, Firefox second option. I never use Chrome, and Edge is only a skin over a Chrome(ium) engine. Can‘t tell what to set how in Safari - probably I allowed something back then when we went on Mammoth safari, and it carries over ever since. Since browsers are getting more loaded with security functions, it can be an update of the browser breaks things that worked before. Plus plugins, plus maybe corporate settings on managed devices. It can be some try and error, unfortunately. I can just tell that for me it works flawlessly, every time on MacOS Sonoma using Safari and Firefox. It works as well on my iPad with Safari. -
The server connection for all old clients was shut down on the 23rd of march, and will not be reactivated again. Notes created since will not be synced and get lost when uninstalling the client. You need to install a client version starting with a 10 as version number. It is a new install, replacing the old client. You need at least Android 9 to be able to install this version. Probably you got no update message when running on an older Android version.

Usually it is a sign of a corrupted local database. One piece of indigestible data causes the app to loop. Remove the whole install using the App AppCleaner. The usual Mac uninstall will not remove all data from the drive. If you already uninstalled, first install it again, open and login once, log out again and quit. Then uninstall with AppCleaner, and install a second time. After the full uninstall all local data is gone, and needs to be downloaded again. After opening the client for the first time let it run in the background for quite a time to allow the download and rebuild of local data.

EN uses the system setting for spellcheck - one language only, and you can’t choose it freely. This has been discussed ad nauseam when v10 launched. You know where to go feedback@evernote.com Maybe chances are now better for a change, since the new team probably lives in Italian and works in English.

Can‘t tell about the Windows firewall - it may be it receives over the air updates itself, and then starts to block what it allowed to pass before. The firewall on my Mac needs to be trained once, on the initial install, and is not messed up later. We all know what to think about MS security … https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/CSRB_Review_of_the_Summer_2023_MEO_Intrusion_Final_508c.pdf Closing the app window will not stop the client from executing. To stop it entirely, you need to quit it from the File menu, ad you described. For automatic updates it usually does this itself when ready to install . When you need to stop it manually is when you update yourself. Finally the „Ooops, …“ message is indeed misleading: Usually when it appears the connection problem is not on the far end, but local.

Ideias to enhance the note-taking experience
PinkElephant replied to Evernote_user101's question in General Feature Requests
Thanks for elaborating. The forum is user2user. You can send your ideas here: feedback@evernote.com -
Scannable is changing. Make sure you have the latest version installed. If you do you will find out that the app is only available for Free if you have an EN subscription. With your Free account or without an EN account the app needs to be paid. It will be about 50 €/$ per year. Probably your interest in using Scannable moved to zero in this moment - the Free rides are over in the EN ecosystem, it seems. A good free alternative is Lens from Microsoft.

Actually we are all on a subscription. It starts when it is paid, runs for the defined period, and when it's over, the money is consumed. The continuous part are your notes - which you can take and move wherever you want. If you decide to subscribe, the cycle starts again. What was left at the end of legacy was in fact a ton of technical debt. The new owners have described in the blog what they encountered, and how they managed to keep the boat afloat after the acquisition. It seems the pig they bought had nice lipstick applied ... https://evernote.com/blog The server software which was the only remaining active part of legacy was called the Monolith - which described the massiveness and the level of intelligence in a single term. Makes an interesting read - and between the lines anybody can understand why it was necessary to take this can of worms offline.

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. -
Support not available, loops through login to web
PinkElephant replied to AndyDent's topic in Web Client Issues
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/
