+Joplin can import complete Evernote notebooks, as well as notes, tags, resources (attached files) and note metadata (such as author, geo-location, etc.) via ENEX files. In terms of data, the only two things that might slightly differ are:
 
 - Recognition data - Evernote images, in particular scanned (or photographed) documents have [recognition data](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition) associated with them. It is the text that Evernote has been able to recognise in the document. This data is not preserved when the note are imported into Joplin. However, if you have enabled OCR in Joplin, that recognition data will be recreated in a format compatible with Joplin.

 In the **terminal application**, in [command-line mode](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/apps/terminal.md#command-line-mode), type `import /path/to/file.enex`. This will import the notes into a new notebook named after the filename.

 ### Importing from Markdown files
 
 Joplin can import notes from plain Markdown file. You can either import a complete directory of Markdown files or individual files.
