Fast syntonization across all your devices for easy access to your notes from anywhere.A free account will be sufficient for many users.Great user interface across all platforms that's familiar when you jump from one device to another.While the free version is ad-supported, you'll only really see ads on the PC or Mac version of the client and they're tucked away in a corner and extremely unobtrusive. 60MB may not seem like a lot of space but if you're only snapping a few pictures here and there and most of what you'll be doing involves taking text notes, a free account will serve you great. I personally have always used the free version of Evernote and I've never hit the cap. Pin lock allowing you to lock your Evernote application to prevent unauthorized access.Extensive note history that allows you to view past versions of your notes (good if you're collaborating with others).Adding Penultimate quality ink directly in the Evernote app would be a huge bonus.For $5.00/month or $45/year you'll get 1GB of storage upload space per month as well as many other premium features including the following. You can already take other kinds of notes in Evernote’s mobile apps, like pictures, audio notes, and rich text notes with check boxes and bullet points. And even then, you have to choose between handwriting and text, there is no mixing, unlike Microsoft’s OneNote or iPad apps like Noteshelf.Įvernote’s team has been working on handwriting recognition since the days of the Apple Newton, and Evernote’s OCR has worked well for me for making handwriting searchable. Right now, the only way to get handwritten notes directly into Evernote is through the desktop application on Windows. Evernote says on their blog that Ben will lead the effort to bring handwriting and digital ink functionality into other Evernote products and platforms. But it’s not really a great solution for taking pages of handwritten notes.

One of Evernote’s strongest points is that it’s available on every major mobile platform, and it would be great to see Penultimate also available on a similar variety of devices.Įvernote does have a drawing extension called Skitch, which runs as a separate app, but will then import drawings into Evernote notes. Ben Zotto has also mentioned on the Penultimate blog that with this partnership, Penultimate will finally be coming to other devices. Having continuous sync or adding OCR directly to Penultimate would only make the app more appealing.
