I’ve been using Evernote for about 16 years as a paying customer. In a month, they’re increasing my price from $83.13 last year to $250.
I think it’s time for me to jump ship. I mainly use it to store scans of paper things I want to keep (I did like their OCR functionality). What are y’all using these days? #productivity #evernote
@kraft I did an export to Evernote and then lost my export. Time to do it again.
@kraft I did an export to Obsidian and then lost my export. Time to do it again.
And agreed: at its peak at least, Evernote OCR was unbeatable!
Obsidian! It's free, or you can pay for their cloud sync.
So built-in OCR is a must?
@kraft Wow, what a jump. I've been using a folder of files strategy where I'm able to use both Obsidian and iA Writer, but I don't use it for keeping scans, although I do need something for that.
I previously used DEVONthink for this, but I found it a bit overwhelming for my taste. https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink
@kraft Hmmm. I use obsidian + iCloud for sync, but I'm not sure how it would behave for a large number of scanned images. Might not be the right fit for that use case. I largely use it for markdown files.
It seems to let me import them well enough. The view looks just like Evernote (embeds into a note). I’d lose the OCR so that is something to figure out.
@kraft There might be a community plugin for ocr
@kraft It's not 1-to-1, but Zotero wound up being my Evernote replacement.
@kraft I've never used it, but some people really like https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/ for OCR and document management.
@kraft paperless- ngx
@Myphatself @kraft +1 for https://docs.paperless-ngx.com especially when your use case is scan archive
@kraft if you can self-host, Paperless NGX is fantastic. https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/
@kraft yeah, that price jump is brutal
