DocumentSnap

Recently in the DocumentSnap newsletter I wrote about how I am going through a bunch of my old magazines, scanning in just the articles I want and recycling the rest. Here is how I am doing it: 1. Cut out the pages from the magazine 2. Scan the article with my Fujitsu ScanSnap directly into [...]

As anyone who has read DocumentSnap for any length of time knows, I’m a bit of a fan of Evernote. Recently Brett Kelly at Bridging The Nerd Gap has released an 80+ page guide to Evernote called Evernote Essentials. At first you might think that Evernote is a pretty simple application (you put stuff in, [...]

A while ago, Evernote teased that they had a big announcement coming, and today they held an event to break the news.  Their new App directory, the Evernote Trunk, is now live. Evernote has had an API for quite a while and a number of applications have had Evernote integration for some time (many of [...]

Using the Kelly Clarkson quote was just way too easy, I know.  This post is not in fact about American Idol winners, but is about Hazel, a Mac-only rules-based file management application.  It does a ton of stuff, but today I am going to talk about how you can use it in a paperless workflow. [...]

I’ve written quite a bit about the stuff that you can put into Evernote, but what about when you want to take data out? Any time you are using a “cloud based” service, it’s a legitimate concern: what if the company goes away or if you want to leave the service?  Or what if you [...]

Let me start by saying I don’t yet have an iPad (darn that need vs. want distinction). Therefore, this post is not a review of these different iPad apps for PDF viewing and document management, but more of a roundup of apps I have coveted from afar. With that said, I have used some of [...]

For whatever reason, I don’t tend to write as much about all-in-one or multifunction devices. You know, the ones that print, scan, fax, make waffles, etc. Maybe it is because the frustration with the one that I have is what lead me to getting into this whole DocumentSnap thing in the first place. Anyways, it’s [...]

   So I know that I posted about Evernote just a few days ago, but I couldn’t possibly let this go by without letting you guys know about it. Evernote and Fujitsu cut a deal where if you buy a ScanSnap S1500 (for Windows) or S1500M (for Mac) and then sign up for an Evernote [...]

Just read over on the Evernote Blog that the company has reached three million users as of the end of April. We’ve got a pretty sophisticated monitoring system at the Evernote datacenter that’s constantly watching over our servers, databases and load balancers. At the slightest hint of trouble, it sends out pre-configured alerts and our [...]

Recently the Evernote blog posted a really cool tip for searching your Evernote notes from inside your browser. Basically, you tell Chrome or Firefox to use Evernote as a new search engine, which you can then search with in the address bar. Google Chrome’s address bar doubles as a search bar, which makes it really [...]
