1. Search for words in images

Finding the textual content of a note is too normal, no wonder. But did you know that Evernote also has the ability to find text embedded in images? Even if it's a screen shot, a photo you take from a camera or other sources, Evernote can handle it all, and is especially effective if you're looking for English words. The way to find words in images is the same as normal, that is, we will use the Search button outside the main interface of Evernote. If there is a phrase in the image, the image will be yellowed for you to see. Very convenient and currently not many applications are capable of doing this.
