I haven’t found something that does it all for me. I still use Evernote. Every time I get a real paper mail, an invoice or a receipt, I scan it with my phone and save to Evernote. For the PDF OCR search. Thats my only Evernote usecase.
For notes I use Bear. Which is, IMO, the best UX for note taking on iOS. But. It doesn’t have a web GUI or a Linux app. So. I can’t really keep using it.
I’ve tried them all. Joplin, SimpleNote, Evernote, Turtl, Laverna, you name it. But none of them have both Linux Apps and a great iOS app/experience. (80% of my notes is done from iOS).
One day I’ll have to go out to write something myself.
- cpach 7y agoI started with Evernote some years ago and so far I haven’t found anything better. The PDF OCR is great and having a web interface is also very convenient, e.g. for using it at work.
- freetonik 7y agoBTW, Google drive does OCR search within PDF and images files. It can even convert scans to Google docs.
- gab007 7y ago> One day I’ll have to go out to write something myself. I resonate with that. I need to be able to add attachments to my notes - ideally with OCR capabilities. Evernote does that, but I've had a hard time finding something else for the Linux desktop. It's 2019 (almost 2020) and a cross-platform note taking application that does notes + attachments + OCR it's still not available (I am not referring to "workarounds" or "tweaks", attachments as links, etc). If anyone knows one I would love to hear about it. I am currently using a web app that I have built myself, it does notes and attachments but I am still working on implementing OCR via Tesseract (form images and PDF attachments). @surfsvammel, if you decide to go that way and start building something, give me a shout - email in my profile.
