A Searchable File for Your Notes
As long as people are making list and checking them twice, it’s a great time to look at the organisational tool called Evernote. The app is available in a free or premium version for iPhone, Palm OS, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and, soon Android. Evernote collects notes in written form, as photos or as audio notes, and makes them searchable in many ways.
Each entry is logged by time, date and location, and you can add a title and search words as tags, as you would on a blog, The app even uses optical character recognition to read type on photos, so you can search pictures for words.
The free version of this app allows the user to upload 40MB of material a month. The premium service, which is USD45 a year allows 500MB of uploads. Premium users can also use more kinds of files, like Word or Excel, and can convert scanned documents to PDFs.
iPhone users reported some text-editing problems, which the company said had been fixed. Overall, Evernote belongs on the list titled “nice.”
