Thanks for a great channel, as an older tech guy i really relate to you. I started using Evernote a few years ago and it really changed my life, I took all my music (i'm a musician) and put it in the program and all my random unorganized stuff. It came just as I was finally organizing all elements of my life and, strange as it might be to say, I really consider it to be one of the coolest things ever to happen to me as i've been horribly disorganized
All your videos are really informative. I am from India. After going through your video, with the help of it, I did a sample work for a professor of Stanford University. Now I got that work (It is a evernote Project). My Hearty Thanks. God be with you. - Dinesh
Great to hear! Have you subscribed to Webinar Wednesdays yet? Get a scoop of all the latest in tech and catch me Live there! dottotech.com/webinarwednesday
I do not know how I end here, but I like the way you teach technology, I hope the Evernote people watch your videos and make better software. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
Keep up the good work, Steve. I don't watch any of your work on the use of internet media for marketing as I now just sit back and enjoy my retirement. However your videos about using computer (and its apps) efficiently are always good and to the point, with my favourite (and yours) being Evernote. It was your 11 day course (Evernote made easy V1 I think) way back before webinars that introduces me to Evernote and has been my repository for all data collected or created since then.
Really valuable information about Evernote to use. Amazing!!! And thank you, Steve, for your generosity to share this with everyone!! Have a great day!! 😉
I was surprised when you mentioned your interest for your followers feedback, for the productive source providing them. I am out of words to appreciate, I think that explains a lot, I believe, everyone in this era should save time through these efficient platforms, and you explain them the best way I have never seen before. THANKS!!!
You mentioned the handwritten notes are searchable in Evernote. I take all my notes by hand, and started photographing them. So, I tried it out. Now, I write in cursive. Nevertheless, it was able to pick out instances of the terms I tried. Impressive!
That’s absolutely amazing!! I’ve had Evernote on my phone for years & never really used it because I wasn’t familiar with it. Thank you so much for the information! I found your UA-cam channel because Inkophile’s Blog had this video listed in it! I’ve Subscribed to your channel & look forward to learning more! I’m a Fountain Pen(& all the trappings that go along with them)Person. God Bless & the Love of Christ to You Always!!
I enjoy your channel very much. I watched this episode again today to review some points I had forgotten. I wanted to share... I was helping a customer yesterday and I got to tell him about both Evernote and Dottotech and how much they helped me. This morning I received an email thanking me for directing him to productivity tools he found true value in. He also praised me in an email to my boss stating he appreciated the info I shared with him and my exceptional customer service. Thanks for making me look good!
Thanks to several of your videos I have jumped in and I am now using the free version of evernote. I am really liking it so far just learning how to apply evernote to my world. I know I am on the elementary level but I use to have many open chrome tabs for web articles I liked, I have now webclipped them all in evernote and closed all the open google chrome tabs. 😁
Loved the pres on Evernote - your favorite 3 things, The Camera feature sounds geat - I think it is tim for me to look into evernote on a more serious level. Thanks.
I have NEVER used the camera. Time to start. By anchor notes do you mean shortcuts? And if you pay for the service EN will OCR PDFs. A very important and useful feature. Thanks again Mr. EverTech.
after one year not using Evernote I‘m currently migrating my most relevant projects back to Evernote. It‘s so efficient, quick, smart, easy, one tool that offers and includes so many important features (e. g. nice note taking icnl. checkmarks, reminders, Tag browser, GPS location, ...). Did you ever realize that annotating an image (e. g. a photo of a document) - vs a PDF - Evernote is automatically resizing the image so you have tons of space for your annotations? super cool!
I really enjoy your videos, Steve. Have started to use Google Keep and am considering to get my mind around Evernote...but I'm a lot older than you! Thank you for your informative, educational AND entertaining videos.
Like you, Steve, I do a lot of internet research. The article/page saving feature of Evernote is something I just can't do without. I've looked at a number of other options for this function, and none that I can find is as effective as Evernote.
Nice job, I have been using Evernote for a long time and not sure what I would do without it. While it still has quirks it does everything I need it to. I think they could enhance the inking function some but eh not a big deal.
Love your anchor note tip! But with earlier versions of Evernote, the camera crashed when used it and I never tried the camera again until now. It works great.
I have used Evernote to create an index of what I have stored in various cabinets around the house. I have a lot of hardware, cables, electrical parts. For each part, I place it on a neutral back ground and take a picture of it using Evernote’s camera feature. Each piece of hardware is an Evernote note. If there is a product tag or electric spect on the back or side of the hardware, I take a picture of that too and include it in the note. I also include a close up of the end if a cable to show what kind of connection is on the end (USB, RJ-45, phone jack, etc). I write a short description of each and now I can find anything I have squirreled away in a drawer of cabinet. I am also starting to do a photo index of the front cover and title page of my books so I can quickly check to see if they have a particular book and what it physically looks like.
Since your webinar, I have looked at other options for myself, and the webclipper, on mobile or desktop, is just a massive point for Evernote, as it is the way 90% of my notes make it into my system. What I like about Notion initially is the idea of the work space, and the inclusion of calendars and toggled list. I can simulate the workspace just fine in Evernote (in fact I already did), but I would really like some further layout options to structure the information I store in a note. That still doesn't outweigh the power of the webclipper though!
Nicely done GrandPa ; ))))) Whilst yes we both despair over Evernote corporate issues and ear flaps, the product is very much still valid as it was yesterday - the those three features are the core to its success. I'll add - for me writing and reading dead trees alot still - tha the clipper now has an Amazon option when you clip an Amazon page (missing would be a Facebook equivalent), and the ability if you're not in a hurry to tag and add notes and direct to a notebook of choice is good. If I can't spend the time 'now' I use the time to bring it to my attention in my daily/weekly review time slot... ... I also notice you using "." in front of your Webinar tag, I don't recall you explaining you tag structure - over using "." to ensure some tags are at the top of the tag list. If it is more than just that - then a vid offering what it is and how it came to be would be welcomed. Tagging allows non-search groupings - so whilst you can search "George" in my stack of EN books and get a number of returns for say George Orwell, I can in the tags page hit ":Author" and get George and all the other authors currently tagged - as for me ":" means people's names. So keep up the good work.
Thank you Steve - I was being evangelical about Evernote at my office and still pay for a common business platform, but the security remains an issue and has limited its growth here (Investment Management). I've been a user since 2011 and find it to be a terrific productivity enhancer. Like anyone sensible, I keep sensitive data off of it and encrypt information that is the least bit questionable. Evernote is still great, but I will really be happy when they make the next move and hope they can tackle the business side security issues. Maximizing search power and file/tag organizational approaches is always a subject I will watch again and again. Thanks for your work!
I love my fountain pens for notetaking and do the same thing as you at meetings: I write it all by hand. Difference is, I write in cursive. Evernote's OCR doesn't have much luck with cursive. It's still a good archive for those handwritten notes: I rely on tagging and titles. I hope some day Evernote will include the Remarks feature from the webclipper in the main program. It would be handy for making my handwritten notes more searchable.
Steve, I use a Neo SmartPen and auto sync my hand written notes in my Neo Notebook to EN. The sync creates a Neo Notes notebook in Evernote. All of my hand written notes are then in my EN account and I never have to take a photo of my written notes. They are all searchable in EN. Also, my NeoNotes tags carry over into EN and I can sort my NeoNotes by tags. Very cool.
Enjoy your videos. I have been using Evernote since Jan 2012, but find myself transitioning to OneNote. Mainly since OneNote converts my handwriting to text. OneNote's search feature works as well as EverNote. The phone app is smother in EN. Need to use Office Lens to get similar functionality. Web Clipping for both is almost indistinguishable between the two, but I give the edge to EN.
Hi, first time I see your channel. Thank you for posting this video. I am learning about Evernote i know it existed but forgot what it was called. The search feature is the best, i am doing that with word for my notes and many times it does not find the item I am looking for even when i do control+f.. this is amazing. I will be looking more on how to get started with evernote. thanks for sharing.
Hi Steve, I'm glad that you did this update to your comments re Evernote not perhaps being the right tool anymore. I looked at Notion and found it rather clumsy. I'm sticking with Evernote as I use it everyday in my business along with Asana. I've used the camera button before but didn't realize it could index notes. That is a Great tool in my business (graphic design & printing). Keep the good stuff coming. A long time fan from your television days.
The web clipper is my favorite. I didn't realize the alarm was there, sounds like I should use it as I often forget i clipped something and never look at it again.
Blocked at work too, where I have to use Keep. But not the same functionality as my beloved Evernote. It took me a while to adapt to working without it, and I feel so much less productive now.
Thanks Steve, good stuff! Getting back into Evernote & love the anchor tip. Forgot about the photo option but was because I had the Plus version that didn't search text.... Now have premium so all searchable 😃
I looked at many apps, but Evernote has always something more. Now I’m testing a combo of Google Drive and Google Keep, but I miss the web clipper so much! And the feature to store emails. Furthermore, despite I can do almost everything on other apps, EN is the most usable.
I find huge overlap in what I use Evernote and Keep for. Evernote is great on desktop, Keep - for instant access and use on mobile. Evernote mobile and web versions - using either is like a root canal and takes me 10x longer to do or find anything than using Keep. Keep on Desktop: Tremendously dumbed-down compared to Evernote, however, fast: Use Labels (like folders) for structure, however Keep is limited to 50 labels , which seems a ridiculous limitation. To replicate Web Clipper in Keep, I have the Chrome Extension: GoFullPage - Full Page Screen Capture .. which I then past the screenshots into Keep.. Alas, there is no perfect app. I chose Evernote and work within it's limitations, as the best compromise. I have it on my iPhone for occasions when I need to reference something shopping.
Great job Steve of summarizing the great features of EN. Would you please give a summary help guide to using the web clipper on iPad? It frustrates me the limitations that are placed on us if we use EN on our iPad and can’t do a good job of clipping. Thanks!
Great video. I was wondering what the big difference was between the free and premium services. Evernote should pay you for this one. You have done a great marketing job for them. I'm going to go ahead and purchase those premium services now. Thanks for the information.
I think you are terrific and you are helping me a lot to do the things I want to do :) I recently volunteered to be social media manager for a non-profit and I have only a vague idea how to do that. You bear binge-watching well!
Nice video and very useful features....thanx for sharing I have a question..can we make stack under already existing stack like folder within a folder?
Thanks Steve. Another quality video. I have been a little flat about Evernote and contemplating other options given the personnel changes, rebranding nonsense, and a problem I'm having syncing notes from my desktop. A little off topic, but: Even notes saved from my iPhone once edited on the PC won't sync! Please Evernote. Premium client talking here.
Great. I've always not understood web clipper. I will for sure start using it. And I've done something similar to your anchor note idea. I just didn't give it a name. Good name! ;-)
These are my top reasons to use evernote too. Just thinking about having to move all of my stuff somewhere else makes me cringe. I will keep them for now and hope it gets better. It has great things but needs to improve.
Great video Steve. One quick question - can you describe how you demo your computer screen, have your video feed, as well as run a demo of a mobile device all within this UA-cam video? It's very well laid out. Do you have a video explaining the setup you use? I'm assuming some type of video mixer? Or is it all done on your Mac? Thank you as always!
First, thank you for your wonderful videos... This has become my first stop when researching software and you've also turned me onto a few indispensable apps that I didn't even know about. On this one, though, I feel I should point out that Apple Notes does all of those things (including instant OCR when you scan documents with the camera), with a much simpler interface and for FREE (not yelling... just emphasizing. :-). Apple Notes has become quite robust and powerful over the past few years, of course, it requires that all of your devices are Apple...
Thank you for the review. As a fellow note taker, I would love to see you do a tutorial or review of the Livescribe smart pen with Evernote. Livescribe is the reason I still like and continue to use Evernote daily. Would love your thoughts!!! Thank you and Cheers
Thanks for the video, and you are not granpa, (just white beard) , but if I may say, you have a great heart on teachings us "burros" how to use Evernote efficiently, your time is valuable, besides wisdom comes with age, greetings from Mexico....Muchas gracias, blessings...I am 60 years younger not old ...take care Steve....salud
#iPad only - Evernote is so much easier to use than iOS files app . The email gateway is fantastic when combined with Spark app. Noteshelf 2 is my go to note and sketching app which auto publishes in Evernote. Great for organizing photos as well. Evernote is the hub that links everything. Hopefully they will realize that mobile is the future.
Morning Steve 🌄🙂 The little disclaimer insert, makes you sound a bit DJish ! 😁 Since you do your visual demonstrating on a computer, I am wondering if I can do all you show on just my phone ?....Because, Yes, even "I" use Evernote ! I know, hard to believe ! Poor computerless me ☹️. PS, I thought you were kinda cute with your "tiny" off color remark, and your instantaneous realization of what you had said ! So glad you include, and don't edit out those, really adorable moments ! I DO appreciate them 🤭. Sincerely, JaneLee ^_^ 9/22/18 6:57 AM
good, thank you, any new video about note app focused on writers (many pages, where content combination and order changing) onenote was good but not designed for this
wow, i am really impressed, i think you ve answered my months long question of : can we reference notes within several documents in order to make more senthetic ones that automatically think with the other ones. And i think that s ancre notes. I am going to get an evernote account. Can't live with this, my thoughts need ancre notes :)
I use MS Outlook and make my notes in the calendar, on the date and time, add photos and write chapters for my book there to transfer into Word. I take a picture with my iPhone of my to do and grocery lists and park it there to retrieve later when there are due and have a reminder set for that. I can retrieve the event, people, chapters, lists etc.in the search area.. Am I missing something? What would be the benefit of Evernote? Thank you for the tutorial.
I actually just got the offer for 40% off offer right around the Evernote Wednesday you just did. I had previously had Premium and was willing to pay the $40, but not $70, so I had dropped down to Free, to no detriment to my usage. Right AFTER I paid, the story came out about the 15% layoffs. Now, when my year is up, I'll reach out to them and say, if they can offer me the same rate I just paid, I'll re-up. If they insist it has to be $70, I can go back to free. And if they gut it to the point that free becomes useless, to force people to buy premium, much as it pains me, there are alternatives out there.
Hey Mr. Dotto, great video! Do you know if Evernote has an iOS widget yet or ever will? Would be great to access some of these features from the widget bar.
I'm just now seeing this (just looked for it) in Jan 2021... just a few 'days' past your posting date. ; ) So, I have a question .. you mentioned some 'concern' about the future of Evernote. What is your current view from JAN 2021 of Evernote? Like you and many others, I've 'bought in' heavily to the use of Evernote. It appears to ticking right along ...but you're closer to the 'hub' - your view would be appreciated. Thank you again for fine tutorial. You do it sooo very well. Best. -les
@@dottotech Yes, Steve, about 2 hrs after posting this, I found your most recent video. Thank you. I've begun using it and am now getting my $$ worth. ;) Best. Keep up the great info trail.
Steve I saw this video which I thought was an old one but none the less I watched it again. I store so much on Evernote and find that Google search also finds text in Evernote. Business's card scanning Awesome program. I am a premium user
Can you tell me if this would be a good organization tool for storing collections with photos of rubber stamps, acrylic stamps, etc. I am an avid card maker and need a way to find things without having to sit and rummage through 5-4" binders to find what I want. Usually I can't find it. What is your suggestion for this. Thanks in advance for your opinion.
Nice overview!!!! I love Evernote and am just as disappointed and it's 'stagnation' and am years into using it as my main data collection app. New workplace used Microsoft Note but I am trying to get them onto Evernote. Will try to use this video to assist that conversation :) Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
In case you can't, you can do these in the Microsoft ecosystem pretty easily. The camera feature is best duplicated with Office Lens, which direct sends the photographed documents to OneNote and/or OneDrive. OneNote also allows within-app links to specific pages and sections, so you can compile a shortcuts type of page. In 2016 you don't even need that, just slap a tag on them and tag search will find that sort of anchored list easily. The web clipper though, yeowch. OneNote web clipper is just worse than Evernote's.
I'd really like to see reviews/tips (for Evernote, or any note taking app) specifically for college students. If you want to REALLY pinpoint things, for calculus notes and for a student with a degenerative right arm, ya know, in case you want to get *that* specific. Point being, specific tips for college students. Like, does it help with MLA format? Citations? Will it still save peer-reviewed articles that we can only access through the college library (bookmarking doesn't seem to do the trick)? Can I search by (math) formula? How does the video function come into play? I should really ask these after I take your online class. (enrolling in a min)
Where do I find help on the current (which version is that?) version? I tried to insert a Table and I could not find help even from Evernote that worked in either the beta version or the classic version.
I'm a teacher and artist that has been under utilizing my EN for YEARS. Now I'm motivated to make it work for it’s keep. Thanks.
Great to hear!
You rounded off the disclaimer perfectly.
That’s the same take I have on it.
Francesco @ Keep Productive
It is like Evernote has a serious illness, just not sure if it is terminal.
They managed templates before OneNote reimplemented them, at least :P
Thanks for a great channel, as an older tech guy i really relate to you.
I started using Evernote a few years ago and it really changed my life, I took all my music (i'm a musician) and put it in the program and all my random unorganized stuff.

Loved the video, now working from home due to covid-19. Needed to look for a note taking app.
Really helped alot. Thanks a bunch
Loved the pres on Evernote - your favorite 3 things, The Camera feature sounds geat - I think it is tim for me to look into evernote on a more serious level. Thanks.
I have NEVER used the camera. Time to start. By anchor notes do you mean shortcuts? And if you pay for the service EN will OCR PDFs. A very important and useful feature. Thanks again Mr. EverTech.
Anchor notes are more like living documents that I pour related content into, No structure, just info.
So "anchor notes" are not really a feature of evernote just the name you call a document you created with all your related info in there?
Very helpful! I'm new to Evernote and glad to have this insight!
after one year not using Evernote I‘m currently migrating my most relevant projects back to Evernote. It‘s so efficient, quick, smart, easy, one tool that offers and includes so many important features (e. g. nice note taking icnl. checkmarks, reminders, Tag browser, GPS location, ...).

I really enjoy your videos, Steve. Have started to use Google Keep and am considering to get my mind around Evernote...but I'm a lot older than you! Thank you for your informative, educational AND entertaining videos.
hey Steve, missed this one until just now. The camera feature to text is one I was not aware of. Thanks so much.
Thanks Steve
I was wondering may be ever note had a change of heart .
Good stuff - in my anchor notes I also have links to other Notes - so one anchor note is like a master list that links to other Notes.
Like you, Steve, I do a lot of internet research. The article/page saving feature of Evernote is something I just can't do without. I've looked at a number of other options for this function, and none that I can find is as effective as Evernote.

Thanks a lot for this! You just give a very compassionate vibe. Keep going strong! :)
I have used Evernote to create an index of what I have stored in various cabinets around the house. I have a lot of hardware, cables, electrical parts. For each part, I place it on a neutral back ground and take a picture of it using Evernote’s camera feature. Each piece of hardware is an Evernote note. If there is a product tag or electric spect on the back or side of the hardware, I take a picture of that too and include it in the note. I also include a close up of the end if a cable to show what kind of connection is on the end (USB, RJ-45, phone jack, etc). I write a short description of each and now I can find anything I have squirreled away in a drawer of cabinet.

Another great teachable moment, Steve!!
Keep up the great works!
The web clipper is my favorite. I didn't realize the alarm was there, sounds like I should use it as I often forget i clipped something and never look at it again.
great roundup Steve. I wish Evernote wasn’t blocked at work, I’d probably use it more.
I'm not following.. Why would anyone block evernote at work?
Blocked at work too, where I have to use Keep. But not the same functionality as my beloved Evernote. It took me a while to adapt to working without it, and I feel so much less productive now.
Thanks Steve, good stuff! Getting back into Evernote & love the anchor tip. Forgot about the photo option but was because I had the Plus version that didn't search text.... Now have premium so all searchable 😃
You are clever, entertaining and informed!
I looked at many apps, but Evernote has always something more. Now I’m testing a combo of Google Drive and Google Keep, but I miss the web clipper so much! And the feature to store emails. Furthermore, despite I can do almost everything on other apps, EN is the most usable.
I find huge overlap in what I use Evernote and Keep for. Evernote is great on desktop, Keep - for instant access and use on mobile. Evernote mobile and web versions - using either is like a root canal and takes me 10x longer to do or find anything than using Keep. Keep on Desktop: Tremendously dumbed-down compared to Evernote, however, fast: Use Labels (like folders) for structure, however Keep is limited to 50 labels , which seems a ridiculous limitation. To replicate Web Clipper in Keep, I have the Chrome Extension: GoFullPage - Full Page Screen Capture .. which I then past the screenshots into Keep.. Alas, there is no perfect app. I chose Evernote and work within it's limitations, as the best compromise. I have it on my iPhone for occasions when I need to reference something shopping.
Great job Steve of summarizing the great features of EN. Would you please give a summary help guide to using the web clipper on iPad? It frustrates me the limitations that are placed on us if we use EN on our iPad and can’t do a good job of clipping. Thanks!
they discontinued it. Just usen the share feature to send content to Evernote.
Great video. I was wondering what the big difference was between the free and premium services. Evernote should pay you for this one. You have done a great marketing job for them. I'm going to go ahead and purchase those premium services now. Thanks for the information.
Steve, I prefer camscanner and sharing to Evernote. Even for business cards, I preferably use Camcard that immediately scans into google contacts.
I think you are terrific and you are helping me a lot to do the things I want to do :) I recently volunteered to be social media manager for a non-profit and I have only a vague idea how to do that. You bear binge-watching well!
Nice video and very useful features....thanx for sharing
I have a question..can we make stack under already existing stack like folder within a folder?
Going to give your dedicated Evergreen videos a look today with a view to using it over the next few days (if I can understand it). Thank you.
Here is the best place to start I created a Quickstart
dottotechu.thinkific.com/courses/evernote-quick-start
Thanks Steve. Another quality video.
I have been a little flat about Evernote and contemplating other options given the personnel changes, rebranding nonsense, and a problem I'm having syncing notes from my desktop.
A little off topic, but: Even notes saved from my iPhone once edited on the PC won't sync!
Please Evernote. Premium client talking here.
Strange, I would take that to Evernote Support Beyond my experience. Sorry.
Hi Steve.
I was just whinging at Evernote! Looks like a common concern. I hope Evernote read all the comments like you do!
Thanks for acknowledgment.🤗
Great. I've always not understood web clipper. I will for sure start using it. And I've done something similar to your anchor note idea. I just didn't give it a name. Good name! ;-)
These are my top reasons to use evernote too. Just thinking about having to move all of my stuff somewhere else makes me cringe. I will keep them for now and hope it gets better. It has great things but needs to improve.
I've had Snagit for 10 years. #2 on your video marketing note-sheet.
Great video Steve. One quick question - can you describe how you demo your computer screen, have your video feed, as well as run a demo of a mobile device all within this UA-cam video? It's very well laid out. Do you have a video explaining the setup you use? I'm assuming some type of video mixer? Or is it all done on your Mac? Thank you as always!
All on the Mac, I do have a few videos on it, here is a good start ua-cam.com/video/lNmTPciyoPk/v-deo.html
Really appreciate your fantastic videos !!! Yours is definitely my "goto" UA-cam channel ...
First, thank you for your wonderful videos... This has become my first stop when researching software and you've also turned me onto a few indispensable apps that I didn't even know about. On this one, though, I feel I should point out that Apple Notes does all of those things (including instant OCR when you scan documents with the camera), with a much simpler interface and for FREE (not yelling... just emphasizing. :-). Apple Notes has become quite robust and powerful over the past few years, of course, it requires that all of your devices are Apple...
Very informative.
Thank you for the review. As a fellow note taker, I would love to see you do a tutorial or review of the Livescribe smart pen with Evernote. Livescribe is the reason I still like and continue to use Evernote daily. Would love your thoughts!!! Thank you and Cheers
Love Evernote, but worry about backing up my info. Thoughts? Thank you.
Steve, Thanks for publishing this video. How would you compare "Anchor Notes" with the "Table of Contents" feature in EverNote?
TOC is a digest of other notes, Anchor Notes are related bits of outside information,
I would love a tutorial how to use those features in the app on the smart phone , great video btw, thank you!
Nice job as always... Thanks Steve!
Great Video on Evernote, Where can I get the guide?
access.wearethegreywave.com/eqs-2021/
Thanks for the video, and you are not granpa, (just white beard) , but if I may say, you have a great heart on teachings us "burros" how to use Evernote efficiently, your time is valuable, besides wisdom comes with age, greetings from Mexico....Muchas gracias, blessings...I am 60 years younger not old ...take care Steve....salud
I find OneNote a powerful tool for my educational purpose. I use Evernote for other things like saving news articles, bills etc.
Great tutorial.....but is Evernote still the great organiser if only mainly using an iPad Pro. Much of what you do with Evernote is on your PC! Cheers
#iPad only - Evernote is so much easier to use than iOS files app . The email gateway is fantastic when combined with Spark app. Noteshelf 2 is my go to note and sketching app which auto publishes in Evernote. Great for organizing photos as well. Evernote is the hub that links everything. Hopefully they will realize that mobile is the future.
Morning Steve 🌄🙂
The little disclaimer insert, makes you sound a bit
DJish ! 😁
Since you do your visual demonstrating on a computer, I am wondering if I can do all you show on just my phone ?....Because, Yes, even "I" use Evernote !
I know, hard to believe !
Poor computerless me ☹️.
PS, I thought you were kinda cute with your "tiny" off color remark, and your instantaneous realization of what you had said !
So glad you include, and don't edit out those, really adorable moments !
I DO appreciate them 🤭.
Sincerely, JaneLee ^_^

good, thank you, any new video about note app focused on writers (many pages, where content combination and order changing) onenote was good but not designed for this
Nicely done. Thanks!
wow, i am really impressed, i think you ve answered my months long question of : can we reference notes within several documents in order to make more senthetic ones that automatically think with the other ones. And i think that s ancre notes. I am going to get an evernote account. Can't live with this, my thoughts need ancre notes :)
I use MS Outlook and make my notes in the calendar, on the date and time, add photos and write chapters for my book there to transfer into Word. I take a picture with my iPhone of my to do and grocery lists and park it there to retrieve later when there are due and have a reminder set for that. I can retrieve the event, people, chapters, lists etc.in the search area.. Am I missing something? What would be the benefit of Evernote? Thank you for the tutorial.
Can you make at least 5 Key Differences between evernote and notion? Thank you so much in advance
I actually just got the offer for 40% off offer right around the Evernote Wednesday you just did. I had previously had Premium and was willing to pay the $40, but not $70, so I had dropped down to Free, to no detriment to my usage. Right AFTER I paid, the story came out about the 15% layoffs. Now, when my year is up, I'll reach out to them and say, if they can offer me the same rate I just paid, I'll re-up. If they insist it has to be $70, I can go back to free. And if they gut it to the point that free becomes useless, to force people to buy premium, much as it pains me, there are alternatives out there.
Hey Mr. Dotto, great video! Do you know if Evernote has an iOS widget yet or ever will? Would be great to access some of these features from the widget bar.
Here's my most recent video on Evernote updates: ua-cam.com/video/ErJgfjnXWTk/v-deo.html
I'm just now seeing this (just looked for it) in Jan 2021... just a few 'days' past your posting date. ; ) So, I have a question .. you mentioned some 'concern' about the future of Evernote. What is your current view from JAN 2021 of Evernote? Like you and many others, I've 'bought in' heavily to the use of Evernote. It appears to ticking right along ...but you're closer to the 'hub' - your view would be appreciated. Thank you again for fine tutorial. You do it sooo very well. Best. -les
Have you watched my most recent update on Evernote? ua-cam.com/video/ErJgfjnXWTk/v-deo.html
@@dottotech Yes, Steve, about 2 hrs after posting this, I found your most recent video. Thank you. I've begun using it and am now getting my $$ worth. ;) Best. Keep up the great info trail.
Thanks, Steve. Useful tips.
Steve I saw this video which I thought was an old one but none the less I watched it again. I store so much on Evernote and find that Google search also finds text in Evernote. Business's card scanning Awesome program. I am a premium user
Can you tell me if this would be a good organization tool for storing collections with photos of rubber stamps, acrylic stamps, etc. I am an avid card maker and need a way to find things without having to sit and rummage through 5-4" binders to find what I want. Usually I can't find it. What is your suggestion for this. Thanks in advance for your opinion.
Curious as to why you add a period before your tags?
Nice overview!!!! I love Evernote and am just as disappointed and it's 'stagnation' and am years into using it as my main data collection app. New workplace used Microsoft Note but I am trying to get them onto Evernote. Will try to use this video to assist that conversation :) Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
In case you can't, you can do these in the Microsoft ecosystem pretty easily. The camera feature is best duplicated with Office Lens, which direct sends the photographed documents to OneNote and/or OneDrive. OneNote also allows within-app links to specific pages and sections, so you can compile a shortcuts type of page. In 2016 you don't even need that, just slap a tag on them and tag search will find that sort of anchored list easily.
The web clipper though, yeowch. OneNote web clipper is just worse than Evernote's.
I'd really like to see reviews/tips (for Evernote, or any note taking app) specifically for college students. If you want to REALLY pinpoint things, for calculus notes and for a student with a degenerative right arm, ya know, in case you want to get *that* specific. Point being, specific tips for college students. Like, does it help with MLA format? Citations? Will it still save peer-reviewed articles that we can only access through the college library (bookmarking doesn't seem to do the trick)? Can I search by (math) formula? How does the video function come into play? I should really ask these after I take your online class. (enrolling in a min)
Keep it up! Very good videos!
Glad you like them!
Hi thanks for your video. Do you know an app called receiptmate? Some bloggers speak highly but I can’t find this app😊
Holy Sh_T the first feature is incredible
DottoTech - How do you feel about EN 2 Yrs later?
Where do I find help on the current (which version is that?) version? I tried to insert a Table and I could not find help even from Evernote that worked in either the beta version or the classic version.
You do a terrific job. How do I publish my 1000's of YT comments made with Evernotes stored in a notebook?
Steve, do you use DayOne or are you doing everything in Evernote? Why did Evernote kill off geotags?
I wish I knew on the GeoTags, Loved them!, I don't use Dayone. my current system is Evernote, Asana and Slack.
Hi Steve. Looking to switch to OneNote. I saw they now have a webclipper as well and a way to move Evernote’s to OneNote. Any experience with this?
Will webclip document on Evernote work when you offline from Internet for long time?
Great question! Here's your guide to accessing your Evernote notes offline: help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005917-How-to-access-notes-offline
Sweet! Thanks!
