Deciding How to Store DocumentsĪfter spending some time looking at different possibilities, the PDF was probably the safest way to go for my use case. I did still want to make it easily accessible to my wife, and I wanted to be able to access these files and search them not only on them my desktop / laptop, but also on mobile. This actually encouraged me more to get off of Evernote even if it meant I had to not use an online system. The OCR wasn't stored with the file itself in any ways. Having looked at other systems though and looking into what I would need to do to switch off of Evernote, it was rather apparent that they were using the OCR and searchability of the files as a way to keep you locked into the system. I am not using the actual note taking which it seems Evernote is really built around.
I'm mostly looking to put financial and health type of documents in a safe repository. Well unfortunately, there doesn't really seem to be anything for my use case. After some "structural" changes at Evernote, it seemed like it might be worth entertaining the idea of finding a different platform to store my documents. This is handy because then rather than just relying on the name of a note or some tags, I can more easily get back to a document just based off of a search. It runs a process called OCR or optical character recognition on the images that it stores with the note. I have been using Evernote for some time and when I first started using it it seemed to be the easiest way to scan documents and have them searchable.
