Chapter 4- Getting Started with Evernote- What are the Basic Features?

The ever so popular Evernote application is becoming the talk of the town. This amazing tool helps people remember everything through digital note taking. Many people are still unsure about how effective it is when it comes to helping them organize and keep track of everyday notes. But with the extensive amount of features offered by Evernote it's pretty hard to deny that it might just be more powerful than one may think. Evernote is not only great for the average, everyday person but for the c-level executives, entrepreneurs and business professionals who need an extra boost in their task management strategies.

One of the most basic features offered in Evernote is the database. The database is created from what you type, and every note that is entered has the ability to be more complex. Evernote offers options for including recorded audio, video, stored documents, web clippings, photographs and tasks with reminders attached to them. Your database has the ability to be whatever you want it to be, all based around your imagination and creativity.

The users of Evernote can create as many notebooks for their notes as they wish. These notebooks are available to help users organize their notes and users can store unlimited number of notes in each unique notebook. Notebooks have the capability to be combined with stacked notebooks, which provide unlimited options when it comes to organizing saved content.

If you have ever heard of Evernote, then you have heard about the infamous tags that come along with it. Tags allow users to have one more level of filtering to help find whatever it is they are looking for. It's not imperative for notes to have tags, but it's definitely helpful to have tags attached to your categories when grouping notes from separate notebooks. It's also helpful if you plan on searching for notes by a particular term that isn't included in the note's content.

Evernote's search capabilities are one that users continue to talk about. Its search feature alone is what pushes its competition to the back of the line. The search feature can maneuver through note's titles and notebooks names, which is quite extensive for such a small application. It can also search for a match in a typed or photographed text in the body of the notes as well. All this can be done within the associated tags or URLS from the clipped content.

There is no such thing as having such a powerful application and no way to collaborate. Evernote offers sharing notebooks which supports the ability to collaborate on projects with other team members in different places. Users can also communicate different types of information with clients without having to be face to face with the other person.

It's not hard to believe that users can share individual notes through links on Twitter, Facebook and in emails. They can also share notes through a saved URL copied to a PC's clipboard making it a flexible but simple way to share information quickly.

Evernote gives users a multitude of methods for creating all types of notes. For every account created, there is an assigned email address. Each email that is sent to that email address creates a note. Content has the ability to be clipped from different web browsers as each clip creates its own note; content that is tweeted creates it's very own note as well.

When it comes to databases, it's all about convenience. Databases can be easily edited allowing the accounts of users to evolve as their needs grow. There is nothing like having the ability to do real time editing, And Evernote is perfect when it comes to offering such capabilities.

Evernote also offers a feature which persons can use to create annotations to other notes that contain images. Options that are included are stamps, arrows, text, shapes, highlighting and overlays.

When it comes to social media, users can merge all of their related notes and connections based on interactions with particular individuals. This makes keeping up with conversations, document sharing and notes much more efficient and organized. Reminders can easily be attached to every note that is created, including alerts based on specified time and dates. Evernote is so extensive that it offers a task and project management system for business minded people needing a platform to assist with the organizing of their business.

It seems that Evernote is all about empowering the user, and giving the user the ability to access the same information from any location at the same time as it is being synced in real time. If the tool has been added to a device, the device will sync with every other device that also has the tool.

Evernote also integrates with different partners making it flexible and user friendly. Its platform is open and full of networking opportunities, making it one of the biggest applications on the market right now.

The thing that separates Evernote from all the other applications in its niche is that it believes that all of your data belongs to you. Your data is completely protected and can be access from anywhere and can be taken anywhere the user desires.

It's hard to even think that all of the features offered are practically free. But in actuality what you see is what you get for free. Evernote does offer enhancements for a small fee. The premium version is much more enhanced but it's also built more for enterprise users who are investing in the business version. Most of the features offered are 100% free, which is why Evernote is currently the memory platform of choice.

Evernote has taken note taking to a whole different level. Being able to upload notes through a camera, share information with anybody, and create notes by simply typing in a document has become an inspiration for many seeking a better way to organize and store their personal and business information.

Evernote has definitely created an application that is perfect for people who need a reliable way to store their information without worrying about that information being lost or misplaced. Whether you choose to use Evernote for free or take advantage of the Premium package, it's one of the best investments you possibly could ever make for you and your business.
