Samsung Notes OCR Search Not Working on Non-S Pen Devices (lemm.ee)

I have Samsung Tab 9 Ultra and S23. I'm taking notes on tablet and I can easily search my handwritten notes. It's working great. But S23 can't find or search anything about OCR. Same account, same notes, latest updates etc.. I guess Samsung won't even try to search via OCR if the device does not have S Pen capability.

Any workaround or alternative? Because this is a critical workflow for me. I'm taking notes and I have to find it whenever I need without tablet.

Are you able to convert handwritten into text and save it that way?

I only own s pen Samsung products, but converting on the tab may help? Is your phone fully up to date on software?

Edit: Is OneNote an option for you?

If I have to convert all handwritten notes to a text, then there is no need to use Notes app. I can't use OneNote either
