However, it lacks a default naming convention for new Notes. This can quickly become counterproductive and tedious. Not the biggest deal, but an annoyance for sure. For starters, Evernote boasts very strong optical character recognition OCR technology.
That means that Evernote can effectively search scanned images of handwriting as quickly as it can search typewritten notes. That is great news for users who like to digitize handwritten notes instead of creating digital ones. Evernote can recognize 28 different typewritten and 11 handwritten languages. It can also scan uploaded images and photos for handwriting to recognize—think pictures of whiteboards or photos of handwritten Post-it Notes, for example.
Evernote has a diverse range of advanced modifiers and its own search syntax , which makes finding stuff much easier. Evernote can also search for text strings across a wide range of document formats, including Microsoft Office files and PDFs. You can search by the date a Note was created, or even the location where it was created.
Even searching for simple strings on desktop can quickly bog down Evernote to the point of having to force-quit the application.
This has been a persistent problem with Evernote for a long time, particularly on mobile. For an app that wants to help people remember everything, this is a pretty glaring issue. You can clip almost anything: paragraphs of text, images, even entire webpages. Simplified clipped pages strip away all of the images, special formatting, and even ads from a page. This makes Web Clipper an invaluable tool for serious research projects. Clipped items are categorized and stored just like regular Notes.
That means they can also be searched like regular Notes—again, very handy for larger projects. Clipped items can also be annotated in Evernote. I will put year of curative work at risk if the vendor goes out of business. Jon answered this concern already, above. Nothing if forever but that should not stop you from using a create service.
Just back up your stuff on a regular basis and hope for the best. Who knows if 5 years from now there will be a Google and Facebook…. If you use the app on your computer you will always have a local copy which you can backup.
The only possible problem would be if you only use the web app and Evernote goes out of business at some point. This is true…even if worst case Evernote went poof, you could still export all your notes out of EN if you needed to.
I may not use the email feature, but will definitely start using the scanner feature. Caleb — the email forwarding feature is the BOMB! If you use windows, the gadget appears in the top of your toolbar… try it out. Scanning directly is also very cool. Evernote is certainly awesome! One feature that I love about them is that they keep innovating and introducing new features all the time.
I am not a big fan of the iOS app as it seems a little bulky but on the computer or on the web Evernote is amazing in keeping me productive and organized.
I just think they are trying too hard to do too many things. A phone app should be simple and easy to use. When you have 20 different options on a small screen it becomes a task just to enter your notes.
I love Evernote, for many of these reasons! And Sara is awesome—sometimes I feel just being near her makes me a more organized person. I love evernote. It has all my business related stuff in it which is obviously great.
I keep records of all invoices for all vendors, monthly utilities, maintenance, labor…you name it! I organize by Notebooks for each restaurant. Evernote makes it easy to catch right back up where we left off. By synching between my MAC and my Droid I can even get caught up while I'm waiting in the lobby 5 minutes before a meeting.
And I can share the notes with my peers. Because of its multi-platform support and OCR feature, Evernote also helps people who just want to go paperless.
Mike U. I can answer it simply that it helps the unorganized get organized. Additionally, I use it as a repository for documentation read:work in searchable PDF format. It is totally the one tool I use every day multiple times a day. There has been numerous times I've been on a call and needed something like insurance information, and it was easily retrieved, because everything goes into Evernote.
Evernote can quickly turn photos and scanned pics into notes—and also decipher the text in those photos. The Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine is a nice marriage of the analog and digital. Productivity consultant Daniel Gold says he uses Evernote as a "life management tool":.
It allows me to leverage it as a document management tool to incubate all my reference related materials both scanned papers and electronic with my action items.
With note linking, I can connect the dots between tasks and reference items. Even though Evernote lacks the typical trappings of a to-do list manager e. TSW takes advantage of some of Evernote's unique features: multiple tags selection e.
Active Project," "2-Next," " Work" and email integration. Whether you use a structure like The Secret Weapon with Evernote, Evernote could manage your tasks and projects, thanks to the easy email integration, tagging capabilities, and also notebook sharing for collaborative project management.
A lot of people also use Evernote as a note-taking tool and for studying or reading. The app has built-in audio capture support and integrates with tools like the LiveScribe digital pen great for students and constant meeting attendees.
Personally, I find the note-taking to be a bit slow and cumbersome on Evernote. If I want to just quickly jot a note down, it's not the best tool for the job except for the fact that it's a great universal inbox, as above. I think this sort of dissatisfaction with easy note-taking and syncing is why a lot of Lifehacker editors have resorted to simpler solutions like using plain text files and Dropbox. I'm defaulting to index cards. Still, Lifehacker reader feedback suggests many of you are also using Evernote not just as a digital file cabinet but as a digital notebooks or notepads.
Nathan A. After the experiment, I copy up my observations, measurements etc from the lab book into the Note. This is great as it means I can write my reports with full access to my notes, and easily share a copy with my Academic or the rest of the research group.
