• Access notes on PC, Mac, phones, tablets, and browsers as long as there is web access.
• Record audio notes on desktop or mobile devices, and listen back or re-record them.
• Add images by drag and drop, email, web clipping, and then search text found inside images.
• Use Evernote extras such as Skitch, Evernote Hello, and Evernote Clearly for device-specific features.
• Use the web clipper to save web information while keeping the address, tags, and notebook choice.
• Create and remove tags easily, then use them to find related notes later.
• Save searches so repeated queries stay available with one click.
• Send notes to Twitter, Facebook, or email, and tweet notes into Evernote.
• Choose among local notebooks, synchronized notebooks, and public notebooks depending on how widely notes should be shared.
• Upgrade to Premium for more storage, offline access on mobile, PDF search, collaborative editing, and fewer ads, while also using the Evernote Trunk add-ons.
