Does anyone know what Evernote [http://www.evernote.com/about/home.php] uses as their back-end image recognition engine? There are a lot of testimonials out there which claim that Evernote can capture the text from pictures of white-boards and napkins. I'm sure that mileage will vary but might be worth checking out. You can get at their web-services (including the text extracted from images) by applying for a developers key [http://www.evernote.com/about/developer/api/] and worse case the cost is $5/month or $45/year for premium uploads (500MB/month).

Hello, Colleagues,
Does anyone know/use any OCR software working on handwritten pages? or at least 
think it is better than hiring a student key-in.
I know these OCR software such as ABBYY, but they do not work on handwriting.

Thanks,
Yan
