Why is OneNote not recognizing text I’ve typed in from a scanned document on a Mac?


  1. Make sure your version of OneNote is up to date.
  2. Verify the type of scanner you’re working with.
  3. Verify the type of file format being used.
  4. Learn the Mac’s built-in OCR software, ‘Automator’ (for Optical Character Recognition).
  5. Adjust the scan resolution of your scanner.
  6. If all else fails, download an OCR plug-in for a more robust OCR of scanned text.
