  • Would an app loose Editors Choice awards if enough users complain + very bad recent reviews ?
    If you own a Mac, you can just export all files into PDFs and use a free OCR tool called OwlOCR to make your pdf readable. Import it to other apps and voilà, you have all your notes that are ready to go. Source: 9 months ago

  • After 14 years, I am saying Goodbye to Evernote.
    Data structure and customised database was more paramount for me than OCR search. Hence, I went with Notion. But If I need OCR I use OwlOCR. https://owlocr.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
