On: Build a better Bookshelf

[stevehawk]

Are there multiple versions of the current OneNote? I can't OCR anything in my version for Windows 10. I'm stuck like this guy - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_...

AFAIK, OCR is only available in OneNote 2016 (i.e. through a licence or Office 365), but not in the OneNote UWP app, which you get for free in the Windows Store.

Edit: Though, if you imported the Image/Print in OneNote 2016 you can search the OCR result in OneNote UWP and access it using Right-Click -> Picture -> Alt Text

I think the free version also has it, I'm using OneNote with my personal account, and I never pay for it.

Any chance you can tell me the steps you've used in the past to get OCR out of it? I just took like 30 photos of a book to test this idea out and can't OCR it.

I scanned them by Office Lens, seems like OneNote itself does not have OCR.
