OCR with Evernote works very well because it's allowed to be fuzzy. One hand written word is allowed to have multiple predicted texts. This is because the predictions are only used for search - you can't copy/paste OCR'd text because Evernote can't guarantee it's correct. But it's good enough for fuzzy search. In fact it's pretty much exactly what you want for search: allowances for misspellings and typos. Very smart.
