Knote - png - OneNote - ocr in pc

crAss · 09-08-2018, 08:25 AM

I am still in dilemma to buy our not to buy boox note.
Has anyone tried the above combination? To use knote for hand written notes, save in OneNote as png and try to ocr the text in a pc running the office 2016 version of OneNote?
If yes how does it work?

I wonder exactly the same thing, or at least some other way to get hand written information from Boox Note to OneNote.

It seems that only knote works really well for taking notes and no other alternative is in the horizon since disabling the capacitive layer (either through the last firmware or really disabling it with root) does not help.
In some other topic somebody said that png can be exported to OneNote. The thing is how usable is this png (ok how clearly you write of course matters immensely as well).
I stopped using Evernote after it needed subscription for use in 3 devices. OneNote on the other hand is free if you have paid for office.

If your scanned notes search well in OneNote, there is no reason Boox’s output doesn’t work. My PNGs in Evernote work pretty well for searching. Is there anything specific you want to check in OneNote? I can add one of my notes to OneNote and report the results.

OK, I tested Knote’s output on OneNote and the OCR is definitely terrible. It mixes up Japanese and Arabic characters in my English notes. Forget about it, not useful. Not even for searching purposes. The image search on Evernote is way superior and Google Vision API’s OCR is incomparable. Stick with those.
