Evernote: Remember Everything

05.21.08 | No Comments

I usually don’t post technology stuff here on the main page, but I wanted to share this with everyone!  I ran across the program Evernote, last week and I’m addicted!!  At it’s core, Evernote is a note taking application, but it’s unique features blow away anything I’ve ever encountered before. 

The most innovative note taking feature of Evernote is it’s ability to “read” text on images and photos.  I’ve taken photos of business cards and receipts, using the iSight camera on my lap top from within the program.  These images are integrated into my Evernote database and can be accessed using the search bar.  The same process applies to things you find on the web.  Just highlight and paste into the program.  Check out this short clip produced by Evernote’s creator, Phil Libin:


 

Evernote is currently in beta testing… this means it’s not currently open to the public.  However, I have 15 invites!  If you’re interested in trying out Evernote for yourself, email me at aaron@speakingrelatively.com!
