Both the Mac and iOS versions of Evernote record audio notes, but they are low-quality (with a sample rate of just 8 kHz), mono WAV files, optimized for small file size and speech quality. The Mac client allows you to use your FaceTime camera to snap pictures (but not video) of yourself or anything else you hold up to the camera. On the desktop, a menu bar extra allows you to create a new note, an audio note, or a screenshot, paste whatever’s on the Clipboard, and search the program. You can also use the Evernote Web Clipper, an extension for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, to snag all or part of Web pages. You can type text notes directly in an Evernote client, or drag text, images, sounds, or videos into the program. If your new item is a picture with words in it, Evernote will run optical character recognition on its servers to make the picture’s text searchable (even if the text is handwriting) the text then gets synced down to your Evernote clients with the rest of the note.Įvernote gives you many ways of capturing new notes.

Evernote automatically uploads everything you put into it to the company’s servers, making it available for syncing to all your devices. ![]() Where Evernote differs is that it’s free (with a paid Premium tier providing extra features), available for Mac and Windows and as a Web app, and it has native iOS and Android apps. That’s a program that can store and sort those clippings and files, index them for easy search and retrieval, and allow you to add your preferred organizational structure as well, whether it be to group similar kinds of information into collections, or add metadata such as tags or categories.Įvernote is an Everything Box, as are other familiar Mac programs, such as Devon Technologies’ DevonThink ( ), Bare Bones’ Yojimbo ( ), and Chronos’s SOHO Notes, to name just a few. You’ve got the information-heck, you’re practically drowning in it. Those hundreds of downloaded PDFs of bank, brokerage, and utility company statements. A quick audio note you make with your phone.
