Elfinbook - Scanner & OCR

I wanted to like this when I got it as a gift a year and a half ago, but the app leaved much to desire. I can finally say they have improved the app. Before I had issues with syncing now, so far, it’s seamless; but time will tell since I just noticed the improvements. The OCR isn’t bad either no worse [if not better] then others out there in this style app. The added app features are nice too.

So, I ordered myself an Elfin Book because I saw it on Facebook and thought that would just be the coolest thing. To be able to take notes, scan them in, and be able to search for them, with the added bonus of being able to reuse the notebook. Wow! Can it really get better? I mean like really can it!?! I love my notebook it’s awesome. Some of the writing reappeared after I had heated it but that is okay it’s not perfect yet. The app. I love that you can scan the notebook and it puts the borders on. Even if you get the page crooked it straightens it. You can change the titles of documents and add folders and folders within folders (I am a little crazy when it comes to organization). The only thing I am having problems with is the recognize button. It seems to think (even when I have things typed and scan them in with my other notes) that They say things they don’t in completely different languages. I’d say maybe my handwriting is too sloppy but even when it’s typed it can’t recognize exactly what it says. However, it is cool that as long as you have the pages still you can edit what the recognize says. So you click it and edit it to match the paper then you can search for what you’re looking for in the search bar from the beginning. You have to pay for a membership if you don’t buy the book but the options are reasonable. So even if you don’t want to buy the book you can still use the app. I love it I just hope the recognize feature gets a little better! I will use it forever.

I have both the the Rocket and the Elfinbook. I like the Elfin better. The paper is more substantial as well as it has a lot more pages, both lined and blank. I like the number space column and the date space column. I like that pages are not numbered, but you can number them. They must have improved the app because thats seems to be the biggest concern from reading the past reviews. The app works GREAT! It dose just about everything the Rocket app does, expect once you save it then you direct it to the cloud. Its doesn’t have the symbol that automatically save it on the cloud. At least not yet, but no big deal all you do is share it to where you want it to go. I bought the Elfinbook X. I LOVE it! It comes with a beautiful leather six ring binder. I am a Hypnotherapist and I take notes and the pages are removable. When I am doing the Hypnosis process I need to read my notes and I record the session. I don’t want a spiral because you can hear the pages flipping. I need to be able to pull them out and then I can put them back in after I have saved them on the app and erased them. This is HUGE for me!
