11/5/2023 0 Comments Going paperless with evernoteOCR, who needs it, right? Well, we pretty much all do. When you upload a doc via SnapScan Cloud nothing on the local side performs OCR and the way SnapScan Cloud was designed, nothing on the cloud side performs OCR either. So what's not to like, right? One word, three letters: OCR. Yes, it does appear that SnapScan Cloud can scan docs directly into Evernote without a PC and possibly even without a mobile device. But you've really got to adopt a more skeptical attitude toward these hyped up announcements by Fujitsu and Evernote. Gazumped, I appreciate your effort on my behalf. Step 1 of a process for communicating directly with Evernote says, "Buy a scanner that communicates directly with Evernote." That's what I thought I'd done. These can then be selected in some application program and sent to Evernote. Most often, all that can be done is to upload a batch of scanned documents to the PC. And the destination of the scan should NOT be a host or service on my personal network but a cloud destination, either Evernote itself or-less acceptably-a service that will automatically forward to Evernote. Thinking about the problem, if the scanner can truly communicate DIRECTLY (by the caps I simply intend emphasis, not shouting) with Evernote there must be a menu item on the scanner that sets up the necessary communication. What I want, which is apparently not possible, is to connect to an Evernote server in the cloud. Every such link promising "direct" communication that I have chased, and I've chased MANY such links, eventually involves installing a program, such as Scannable, on a PC in order to communicate with the scanner, which is connected TO THE PC via USB or WiFi. Not that you're to blame for sharing wrong information. ![]() It's scanning into Evernote BY WAY OF one PC application or another. As I understand the word "direct" this isn't direct. But that's not what I've found, time after time.Īs another example, the Evernote page that talks about wireless scanning directly into Evernote says, "You can pair the scanner with one computer at a time or connect other computers with a USB cable." Again, the scanner must be connected to a PC in order to scan "directly" into Evernote. The write-up makes it look like the PC is used only for configuration. The second paragraph at the link you offered says, "Before you start, make sure that the scanner is connected to the computer via USB." This approach necessitates use of a PC, which is specifically what I want to avoid. Thanks for your reply but I don't think you've investigated thoroughly enough.
