Evernote is a multi-purpose application that allows you to access, create and save various "notes" across multiple platforms (PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, etc.). I use it to take notes when I attend an evening of recollection, Catholic men's conference or when I am presenting at Joe Catholic or RCIA. You can capture audio or even file photos. I like that you can tag your notes with key words which facilitates easy access later on. You can also create folders to organize notes into projects or categories. One other key attribute is the ability to share files with others who have the app.

Don, how does this differ from Dropbox?
ReplyDeleteDropbox is essentially a file storage application that works in the Cloud. Evernote does permit file storage and sharing, but it's primary function is a note organizer. I think of it more like a briefcase with multiple notebooks with notes for classes, meetings, etc. Of course those notes can be typed, audio recordings or even photos. The similarity with Dropbox is that it allows you to sync across platforms (e.g. phone, tablet and laptop).
