OCR & Handwritten search
planned

It might be a niche feature, but one that is not that common for PKMs, so it might be a good competitive edge.
Personally, I know I have a huge amount of handwritten notes I'd like to make searchable into my knowledge tool, and so far there is only really Evernote that does it (or Onenote, but..).

I would love to be able to move everything from OneNote completely, but this is the only feature keeping me there.

Planned by when?

Any idea on the timeline for this request?
I have PDFs, Images etc that I need to be able to find via a search based on their content. Eg: Text in a PDF, text in an Image. When I search them I need to uncover the embedded text. I had this feature in a number of other Apps (eg: Reflect, Evernote, AmpleNote etc) and it was fantastic.
I am really starting to enjoy my overall Capacities experience. A feature that reads/extracts all of the text content from PDFs, Docs, Images etc would be the icing on the cake.

The ONLY reason I have stuck with Evernote is because their OCR is excellent, and I have a ton of searchable images and articles uploaded...

This would be an awesome addition to Capacities.
I just started using it and uploaded a PDF and Capacities cannot find anything in the content.
The thing is that our minds often remember fractions of information. If we upload a PDF or Image or Document etc and later remember a key word and not necessarily the title of the PDF/Image/Doc, then it would be great if Capacities could surface that information from a key word search using OCR to find it amongst these files.
Thanks.

Yes OCR of PDFs and images and including them in the search would be great.

I wish I could take all my upvotes and put them here for this feature. I still hang onto Evernote for my handwritten notes that it successfully "OCR's" so that I can search across my scanned handwritten notes. BIG upvote!!
