Evernote

Whether you want to take a quick note, prepare a short list or write a lengthy research paper, Evernote will make it easy for you to collect your ideas and compile them into a completed project. The program allows you to use various methods of collecting information digitally. You can basically 'dump' any kind of information in any format and access it wherever you have Internet access.

Using Evernote

Evernote features a fairly straight forward graphical user interface with self-explanatory menus. We could make notebooks with two folder levels, which helped us stay organized without having too much or too little information. We could not create more sub-folders within the sub-folders of parent folders.

We configured a default folder where content went automatically unless we specified the exact folders to send them to. We later retrieved, reviewed and filed them in appropriate locations.

We got content into Evernote in different ways. When we wanted to type new content, we first selected the folder where we wanted to store the information and then clicked on the New Note button. We typed its title and then typed what we wanted on the pane below it. The editor allowed us to format the text as we wanted and add other features like checklists and tables. We also inserted documents, which retained their original formatting. The program even allowed us to record voice notes.

We also sent an email to add content directly to a specified folder. We specified the folder by typing @ followed by the folder's name at the end of the subject. Evernote assigned us a unique email address that we could use to add content.
