Evernote + Eye-Fi = Instant Photographic Memory
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoWait, there's such a thing as an SD card with built in wi-fi that can automatically upload to the web? O_o That's totally awesome. I love living in the future.
- dmix 18y agoCosts $79-$129, the cost/benefit ratio isn't there yet, but its still a great idea.
- Ziv 18y agoActually, for most people (don't forget that the bay area isn't the normal world) -- the cost/benefit ratio is definitely there. Just read the reviews, from all the top reviewers. People know how to upload photos to their computer. It's not rocket science. But they don't do it because it's a chore and take a lot of activation energy. So like any other chore out there -- they end up putting it off. With the Eye-Fi Card, all you do is get in range of wi-fi, turn the camera on, and the photos will go to your computer and to any of 25+ sites. It'll also tweet on your behalf, and embed geo-location information into the EXIF header.
- bprater 18y agoHow does Eye-Fi "know" to send to Evernote? It seems like software would have to be installed on a local computer unless they've jammed a processor into this thing, too.
- Shamiq 18y agoIt looks like it's software on the Eye-Fi. From the Eye-Fi site: "Once you take the photo, it’s wirelessly sent to Evernote, where Evernote processes it and makes the text searchable."
- nihilocrat 18y agoA little too much vendor tie-in for my tastes. I wonder if you can configure it to upload the pictures to wherever the hell you feel like.
- bockris 18y agoYou can pick a wide variety of online photo sharing apps or it can upload to a directory on your PC. (I assume an open share.) http://www.eye.fi/overview/ http://www.eye.fi/overview/ I've looked into this before but it was always a bit too expensive for just a card and some newer cameras have a similar feature so I'm waiting until we upgrade our camera.
- Ziv 18y agoDuring Q4, there are huge promos. Costco.com, for example, has the 4GB Share for $79 and you don't even have to be a costco member to check out (online). BUY.com and Amazon have the 2GB cards for around $50-$60. We also sell directly to consumer, and don't charge S&H (and I realize that there cheaper places to buy the cards online). In terms of brick & mortar stores, check out our site. We sell at Apple stores, Best Buy, Circuit City, Fry's, Wolf/Ritz, etc... Thx
- TrevorJ 18y agoI Haven't had much luck with the OCR in Evernote but hopefully someday it will become useful.
- jdunck 18y agoReally? I've seen it do some pretty impressive things. You have some examples of what didn't work? It might help them improve it. It's one of their core capabilities, of course.
- shaunxcode 18y agoHow easy is it to integrate with eye-fi as a partner site? They seem to have quite a few partners. I wonder if anyone from their company reads hn?
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoI'd like to push to Dropbox personally. Then everything gets pushed to all my dropbox clients automatically.
- Ziv 18y agoAwesome. We believe that images should live in the cloud because it's MUCH more secure than having your photos just at home. Dropbox can become an Eye-Fi destination if they want to. Just email me at gillat AT yahoo DOT com
- Ziv 18y agoWe support Gallery 2, which is the largest photo sharing open source project on the net. So ANYONE can become a destination for the Eye-Fi Card. Email me at [gillat AT yahoo DOT com] and I'll send you a PDF file that explains how to do it. You just need to support 4 API's, and you're done.
- nirmal 18y agoOne thing I wish I could do with Eye-Fi cards is push images to the card. I think this in combination with CHDK[0] could allow me to create Mobiphos[1] to real cameras.

- yters 18y agoIs there also a voice recognition service this can be tied into?
- PieSquared 18y agoThis reminds me of the Livescribe smartpens. As someone in this thread already said... these things really make me feel like I am living in the future.
- paul9290 18y agoIs Picwing working with EyE-Fi? They should!
- Ziv 18y agoThey can become a destination ;-)
- jodrellblank 18y agoWhat if you don't want your every photo sent to evernote? I guess the eye-fi has no customisation without a PC, so you'd probably need to keep switching SD cards. Ugh.
- Ziv 18y agoThe way that the Eye-Fi card works, today, is that every photo that's taken is uploaded to the destination. You can keep switching destinations, online, whenever you want.
