The only advantage of Evernote over everything else is it's scanning of the contents of PDFs. I scan all my paper documents and stored them in Evernote for easy searching. Since I moved away from Evernote (to Joplin) that's the only thing I missed. If anyone has a suggestion for replacing this I'd be very happy.
PaperlessNgx makes scanned documents searchable. Its great!
Now this looks promising. Thanks very much. I'll give it a go.
Most new phones camera app does that too. You van even search Google photos for specific documents by name like "passport" etc.
I think OneNote can transpose text from images, but it's been a while since I used the feature.
Yeah, it seems to work now. Didn't used to work reliably a few years ago. Now, text within any document I save seems to come up in search shortly afterwards.
