2. Meaning
•
Evernote is a suite of software and services designed for notetaking and archiving.
A "note" can be a piece of formatted text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a
photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten "ink" note. Notes can also have file
attachments. Notes can be sorted into folders, then tagged, annotated, edited,
given comments, searched and exported as part of a notebook.
•
Evernote makes it easy to remember things big and small from your everyday life
using your computer, phone, tablet and the web.
3. Features
•
Data storage and access- On supported operating systems, Evernote stores and
edits the user's notes on their local machine.
•
Users with Internet access and an Evernote account can also have their notes
automatically synchronized with a master copy held on Evernote's servers. These
approaches lets a user access and edit their data across multiple machines and
operating system platforms, but still view, input and edit data when an Internet
connection is not available. However, notes stored on Evernote servers are not
encrypted.
•
Data entry- Evernote supports image capture from cameras on supported devices,
and the recording of voice notes. In some situations, text that appears in captured
images can be recognized using OCR and annotated. Evernote also supports touch
and tablet screens with handwriting recognition. Evernote web clipping plugins
are available for the most popular Internet browsers that allow marked sections of
webpages to be captured and clipped to Evernote. If no section of a webpage has
been highlighted, Evernote can clip the full page.
•
Keep everything in sync- With Evernote, all of your notes, web clips, files and
images are made available on every device and computer you use.
4. •
Plan your next trip- Keep all of your itineraries, confirmations, scanned travel
documents, maps, and plans in Evernote, so you’ll have them when you need
them.
•
Research better- Collect information from anywhere into a single place. From text
notes to web pages to files to snapshots, everything is always at your fingertips.
•
Presentations-Presentation Mode, included as part of the Evernote Premium and
Business packages, gives you the tools to quickly show off your ideas from directly
within the app.
•
Share office notebooks-Evernote isn't just for personal notes. With a subscription
