For most people, the note-taking application of choice is Evernote. And Evernote users have good reasons for choosing the service for their note-taking needs — it’s very functional, highly accessible, and has add-on features that can take you beyond the default Evernote experience.
If you’re not already convinced, read why you should be using Evernote as your go-to place for remembering everything. In fact, there are a number of apps, plugins, and even pieces of hardware which can take advantage of Evernote, making the service even more beneficial for you.
Here are seven tools that hopefully will make you tap into the potential of this widely popular note-taking application.
EyeFi SD Card
If you like taking plenty of pictures with a camera that uses an SD card for storage, you’re in luck. The EyeFi SD card is a Wi-Fi enabled storage device which can detect when you’ve taken a new picture, and then upload the picture to your favorite service such as Flickr as well as Evernote. This is great if you use Evernote for everything, as it’ll be a quick and easy way to store your images in the cloud where you have access to them anywhere, as well as incorporate them into any other Evernote notes that you already have or make in the future. It is not free but is a worthy investment if you take a lot of pictures and are searching for a SD card.
EverClip
If you do a lot of browsing and research on your Android or iOS mobile device, you probably want to create a lot of clips from the pages that you look at. While Evernote is capable of doing this for you, it requires you to switch back to the app every time you wish to clip something. Instead, you may want to use an Android and iOS app called EverClip. This app lets you quickly and easily clip whatever you’d like, and send it straight to Evernote.
EverClip can also send everything that’s in your system clipboard to Evernote, so that you won’t lose anything that may have been important to you at some time or another. If EverClip saves more than you really want to keep, you can always delete notes — it’s just a good way of making sure that you won’t miss out on anything. With EverClip, you’ll have more time to complete your research. There are both free and paid versions of EverClip available for Android, but iOSusers can only use the paid version.
Skitch
Evernote is capable of a lot of different formatting styles, but it lacks annotation features. If you want to draw or annotate on images, you’ll need Skitch. While it is developed by the people behind Evernote, Skitch is a separate application for drawing on a blank note, as well as annotating on different images and PDFs. This brings along a more intuitive approach to taking notes, and it’s especially valuable for students who have to add little notes to lecture materials all the time. It’s free and available for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
StudyBlue
Students can get a lot done by using Evernote for school,by using it to save lecture notes, even audio recordings, and them organizing them for easy access. However, once you’ve written down all those notes, you’ll need to study them in order to ace your next test. There’s a service called StudyBlue which can help turn your notes into studying material. You can create flashcards, automatically create self-quizzes, track which terms or concepts you’re struggling with to focus on, set up study reminders, and a save feature to continue wherever you left off in your study session.
You can also use StudyBlue with your browser or on your mobile device, making it easy to study wherever you are. If you ever need to revisit your notes, you can go to your original notes on Evernote or to your StudyBlue backpack.
