There are much better ways of selecting text than taking photo's of a page I use Evernote Helper and Web Clipper There are third party products to OCR pictures Evernote has this feature, but it's only for search purposes Link to comment
WalterMarsh 0 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hello DTLow, Thanks for your response. I am currently preparing excerpts from vast amounts of print material. I would like to create notes of the important highlighted portions of the written pages by capturing via my iPhone photos and converting them through OCR in order to be able to extract relevant text as notes. I am familiar with Web Clipper and use it when possible. However, original text is not available in digital media to begin with so I'm not quite sure what you meant by "There are much better ways of selecting text than taking photo's of a page, I use Evernote Helper and Web Clipper." I understand Evernote has OCR capabilities. However, to is not clear if the specific desired functionality I am seeking is available. Ideally, I would like to extract only the relevant portions of highlighted text by capturing them via a iPhone photo and converting the relevant image to editable text in Evernote. Are you aware of such a feature with in the Evernote suites of products (i.e. Evernote: Scannable) or do I need a third party software like scan genius to complete this process? Respectfully, Walter Link to comment
