This is not exactly "in progress" but I'm moving it to this status because it doesn't have a "next up" stage.

Searchable PDFs (OCR)

Search should return results from inside attached PDFs. This feature makes or breaks Reflect for me as an Evernote replacement.

There are four requests related to OCR that should be unified. I think it should not only be about extracting text from images, but also having the ability to replace the images with only text.
The most common use would be, in a class or presentation, to take a screenshot of the PPT, then paste it to Reflect and convert the image to text (apply OCR), which can then be edited or supplemented.
OCR can help reduce Reflect (web version) loading and navigation time by replacing unnecessary images with text.

And Evernote, Google Keep (extremely good and fast)....

I don't know how easy this is to implement with Apple's spotlight API, but this is for sure a killer feature of Evernote and Notes, and my main concern about switching to Reflect. Being able to quickly screenshot software config and have that be searchable is 🤩
