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.
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.
The app native to your phone is likely just as good and can “share to” your note app of choice. Microsoft Office Lens is still best in class for this , IMO though.
Most new phones camera app does that too. You van even search Google photos for specific documents by name like "passport" etc.
