Recently, the “Genealogy at a Glance” series added another title to its repertoire. The latest booklet, Drew Smith’s Evernote, focuses on a new tool that allows users to organize their work, take notes, track tasks, and collaborate with others.
What is Evernote? It is a free online service designed to capture and store all types of digital information, including typed and handwritten notes, audio files, photographs, documents, web pages, and e-mails. Synchronized across all your devices, including tablet, smartphone, and smartwatch, the program organizes everything from notes and files to blogs and internet articles.
Because of the synchronization, you can type notes by using your device’s keyboard; create handwritten notes on any mobile device that supports a stylus; record an audio note by utilizing your device’s microphone; create a note from a picture taken with your tablet or smartphone’s built-in camera, or from a photograph taken earlier; create a note by capturing all or part of a web page in your browser; and make a note originating as an e-mail.
Evernote can be installed on Windows, OS X, Android, and iOS. While the total content you can store in your account is unlimited, the size of an individual note can be only a certain length. You may store up to 100,000 personal notes and organize them in as many as 250 personal notebooks. Although Evernote is free to download and use, there are two subscription levels that furnish additional features to the basic ones.
Following the standard format of the “Genealogy at a Glance” series, Smith condenses into four laminated pages an enormous amount of information pertaining to the database and how to use it. Evernote is a handy, compact guide that will be useful to family researchers interested in the new tool.
To the guide's price of $8.95, buyers should add the cost for postage and handling charges. For U. S. postal mail, the cost is $4.50 for one item and $2.50 for each additional copy; for FedEx ground service, the cost is $6.00 for one copy and $2.50 for each additional item.
