![]() For no charge, the Microsoft ecosystem provides a feature-rich, long-lasting and stable work environment with OneNote. Leaving Evernote means searching differently.Ĭonsider the two options the Evernote users have at the moment. Except for DevonThink I have not heard or seen of a note-taking app that can handle Evernote tags. I thought this rather impressive after seeing the tags axed by Notion. In my case from 11k notes and some PDFs having reached the 100 tag limit, the import tool logged less than a dozen PDFs. The importing tool protocols if there is an issue with tag import. The OneNote importing tool adds all the tags from Evernote as hashtags (#text) at the top of each note. Sure like most note-taking apps it has something call tags but these are not what Evernote calls tags. OneNote like the vast major of note-taking apps does not support tags or the implementation of tags are poor: Nimbus fails on tag searches, Notion requires the construction of a master tag database before it will work, Notejoy only has Twitter-style hashtags, Joplin implementation of tags is poor, and so on. The CEO seemed to think differently (and I have my doubts about the 2% quoted). The forum yesterday mentioned that tags are at the heart of how people work with Evernote note. The search is quick and has enough to be functional. Because the native apps are so responsive this works in a satisfying way. The pages can be multi-selected, move and deleted while the search is open. Pages within a section have highlighted that match the search. Ctrl-E opens search and the results can be docked on the right of the screen with alt-O. The results can be sorted by modify, title or section, in ascending or descending order. OneNote can search across all (open) notebooks, the currently selected notebook, the current section or the section group. Therefore it deserves some attention in this comparison. The search has been traditionally a strength of Evernote. The look and feel of OneNote are consistent with other Office 365 apps. OneNote editor is immediately familiar for anybody that has used Word. Gardeners will like OneNote as the notebooks, sections and pages can be dragged and dropped into any order. The pages (notes) in a section are displayed on the right (see below). OneNote has a curious layout with notebooks down the left of the screen and sections across the top of the screen in tabs. OneNote´s OCR offsets this to some degree as the information is easily found. Both Evernote and Nimbus do a much better job of capturing the text while retaining the formatting as rich text. Article is a plain text version of the website and formatting is lost. Region is "screenshot" of the whole web page - formatting is retained in that sense but not editable. Region and Bookmark are similar to Evernote. The Evernote Clipper is an addon to the browser and has a Full Page, Region, Article and Bookmark mode. The integration between the apps is built into Microsoft Edge browser as is a PDF reader and PDF annotation. ![]() Native apps on Windows 10 are fast and also stable. Microsoft has now browser apps that work on any device, are stable, not slower than Evernote 10 and without charge, as far as I know. OneNote has been around since 2003 and Office even longer. The integration with Windows 10 means that accessing the files is straight forward. OneDrive integration and automatic synchronisation allow us to download files and take them with us. OneNote is free, fast, has OCR, no upload limits and supports ease of transfer of data from Evernote. OneNote is well integrated with a suite of apps: Visio, Outlook, Word, Excel, and more. This is true also for the Office ecosystem. Immersion increases productivity with high levels of integration between apps. In this forum, one person introduced the idea of immersion into an ecosystem. ![]() Considering Evernotes crisis, longevity is a strength and dull acceptable if we can continue to get things done. Microsoft Office is so well known that its strengths are taken for granted. And finally, those who regard like to garden and will shuffle around their notes until everything is where it belongs. Evernote has traditionally provided this. Those who like a clean and simple work environment. Those who want to build their own structures. There are different types of note-takers. OneNote is then an obvious note-taking alternative. However many still have Windows device of one sort or another. So too for those who lives are found on an Android smartphone. For those with Apple this post will be irrelevant. We are quickly accustomed to working in ecosystems.
