Electronic Notebook

If you like to travel light like I do, you probably want to remember this web address and its product: Hyperlink “http://www.evernote.com”.

Evernote is a note taken and organizer tool* that helps one search and save information found on the internet or mobile devices. It keeps them categorized, organized to be easily retrieved later at your conveniences. You can keep all the notes you want, and don’t need to carry around any sticky notes or a paper daily planner. You just select from what you see on a web page, and Evernote will “clip” it right from your browser. Of course, it can’t understand your voice notes yet. Yeah, like you, I am still waiting for that day (humor intended).

An Evernote is formatted with tags, attributes, and of course those standard options such as rename, delete, properties, etc. Evernote owners can have their books shared or not published. Some hand-on play is helpful to see how useful is the program. There is an introduction You Tube video briefly describing how it works on the website.

What I like the most is that, with my digital camera, I take a picture of an ad or a label, then later tag it and do a search using the information within the picture. Yes, Evernote looks at the picture and read whatever is shown in the picture! It is like having a personal robot assistance. The search returns with many related information that I can pick and choose, and organize into folders for later retrieve. Just for fun, why don’t you use this to compare prices of an item on your shopping list, see if you can find a best price for it. This program may not only save you time, but also your pocket book too.

*Evidently, technology is a part of our life. It can affect our work as well as life, so it has a lot to do with IH, health and safety. IH can learn about it, tell employees how to use it, and make them work efficiently too. When ones find tools that can help them perform better, they will have less stresses, and so and so on. At this information age, tools can be associated with soft-tools (software tools).

Disclaimer:

I am not working for this company, or endorsing any of their products. I am just an IH who is keen on using technology to help me work more efficiently. Whatever I have found to be a useful tool on my job or for my life, I don’t mind to blog it so other can share the benefits.

Thanks for those who have provided inputs to my past blogs. They are priceless regardless of the TONES. Once again, many thanks!
