10 Reasons why You Should Be Using Evernote in 2019

Why You Should Be Using Evernote in 2019

In this episode, Kyle Pauline gives ten reasons why you should be using Evernote in 2019. He discusses the cost of Evernote, its integration with third-party applications, its reliability, simplicity and effectiveness as a note-taking app, seamless syncing across all devices, sharing capabilities, OCR technology for searching text within images and PDFs, web clipping feature and the ability to create templates.

Cost-effective

  • Evernote Pro or Premium costs just $8 per month.
  • It is worth paying for a professional notes app rather than compromising on features with a free app.

Integration with Third-party Applications

  • Evernote has the best integration with many third-party applications such as Spark email and IFTTT Zappos.
  • Many other apps are still trying to catch up with what Evernote already offers.

Reliability

  • Kyle has been using Evernote for nine years without any crashes or syncing issues.
  • Apps should work seamlessly without requiring constant fixes or customer support.

Simplicity and Effectiveness

  • Evernote is simple and does exactly what a note-taking app should do - collect and store notes for easy retrieval later.
  • No other note-taking application beats Evernote on collection, storing and search capabilities.

Seamless Syncing Across All Devices

  • Notes created on one device sync quickly across all devices, including laptops, desktops and mobile devices.

Sharing Capabilities

  • Evernote allows users to share whole notebooks with others, not just individual notes.

OCR Technology for Searching Text within Images and PDFs

  • Evernote's OCR technology enables users to search for text within images and PDFs.

Web Clipping Feature

  • The web clipping feature allows users to save articles or web pages directly into Evernote for future reference.

Ability to Create Templates

  • Users can create templates in Evernote for frequently used notes such as meeting agendas or project plans.

Drag and Drop Anything into Evernote

In this section, the speaker talks about how easy it is to drag and drop various types of files into Evernote.

Drag and Drop Functionality

  • You can drag and drop images, PDFs, Microsoft Word documents, Apple Pages documents, or pretty much anything else you want to store in Evernote.
  • The process is simple and straightforward - just drag and drop the file into your note.
  • On mobile devices, you can copy-paste or drop files directly into your notes.

Little Customization Options for Better Focus

This section discusses how Evernote's limited customization options help users stay focused on their work.

Limited Customization Options

  • There are very few customization options available in Evernote.
  • Users cannot change the background color or image, typeface, or text colors beyond a few basic options.
  • The lack of customization prevents users from getting distracted by unnecessary design changes that do not contribute to productivity.

Save Notebooks on Mobile Devices While Traveling

In this section, the speaker talks about how useful it is to be able to save notebooks on mobile devices while traveling.

Saving Notebooks on Mobile Devices

  • When traveling without Wi-Fi access, saving notebooks on your mobile device can be a lifesaver.
  • Users can save important travel documents like flight itineraries and hotel booking forms in their notebooks for offline access.
  • Even passport copies can be saved in case of loss or theft.

Fast Note Collection with 3D Touch & Keyboard Shortcuts

This section discusses how quickly users can collect notes in Evernote using various shortcuts.

Fast Note Collection

  • Evernote offers several shortcuts for quickly collecting notes, including 3D Touch on iOS devices and keyboard shortcuts on computers.
  • These features make it easy to capture ideas and information without wasting time.

Name Card Integration with Contacts & LinkedIn

In this section, the speaker talks about how Evernote can integrate name cards with contacts and LinkedIn.

Name Card Integration

  • Users can scan name cards using the Evernote scanning app, which recognizes them as such.
  • The app pulls information from LinkedIn (with permission) and saves contact details in your contacts app.
  • This feature eliminates the need to manually copy and send information to your contacts.

Dark Mode & Productivity

This section discusses dark mode in Evernote and its impact on productivity.

Dark Mode

  • Evernote recently added a dark mode feature that some users find helpful for reducing screen brightness.
  • However, the speaker does not see how this feature improves productivity.
  • Instead, he suggests focusing on features that make note collection, storage, and syncing faster.

Taking Notes with Evernote
