Why do I need Evernote if I have Google Docs or Office 365? Both of the offerings have the mobile apps too.
- colechristensen 8y agoUsing it for the things I use it for, I prefer the workflow to using Docs. Evernote does OCR things, can take audio or camera notes, and has a tool to grab copies of webpages with various levels of cutting out non-content. >Why do I need Evernote if I have Google Docs or Office 365? It's a bit like asking why you'd need a PostIt note if you already have a piece of paper. They're tools that do pretty similar things that specialize in very overlapping but slightly different tasks.
- make3 8y agomy understanding is that office OneNote does a lot of similar things. I suspect that the answer here is that you don't need Evernote if you have Office 365
- bonestamp2 8y agoAlthough I use OneNote more, Evernote's bookmark/favorite feature is sadly lacking from OneNote. If onenote had a panel for favorite notes, that would be huge.

- colechristensen 8y agoI have an Epson scanner and use their ScanSmart (I think this is what it is) to setup the flow that lets me push a button on the printer and the scanned PDF will show up in one of my notebooks. The OCR might actually be coming from the Epson software and not Evernote, maybe I'll look into it later. The OCR results I have now is not terrible nor wonderful.
