Thanks, DTLow, for clear and concise answer, and to others for weighing in.  50%+ of my Evernote usage is scanning so I can dispose of paper.  I'm going to rollback to a legacy version until such time as Evernote support Applescript or some other ability to scan directly to Evernote.

Evernote Legacy Version: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote

In an effort to go paperless, I created a desktop folder (on my Mac) that automatically exports content to Evernote.  Worked with drag-n-drop or with pdfs from my scanner.  A week ago is stopped working.  Maybe the problem is the most recent Evernote update?? (v.10.5.7 build 458420 public).  

This folder was (I think) managed by an Applescript.  When I looked at the script, it gave me a syntax error on the word note.  I'm not a techy, so not sure what's wrong.  Here's the script

on run {input, parameters}

repeat with this_item in the input

set the item_info to info for this_item

tell application id "com.evernote.evernote"

activate

create note from file this_item

end tell

end repeat

return input

return input

end run

What is going wrong.  I just need the functionality, don't care if solution is from automator, applescript, Evernote, or something else (but prefer free instead of paid).  HELP!!
