Basically the Gmail extension from PowerbotApps makes it really easy to send one of your mail to your Evernote account. You can even file it to a specific notebook and tag it.

Enjoy,

Pierre.

Startup

• Installation ScanSnap Manager (441 Mo to download, 775 Mo once installed on MacOSX)
• Connexion with a USB/Mini-USB cable
• Power supply with the wall wart supply provided or with a second USB cable

Use

• Open the scanner and press the blue button !
• Select on the computer the scan destination
• Two options for Evernote, PDF or JPG

Scan tests

• Printed paper to PDF
• Printed paper to JPG
• JPG option is the output option I would recommend for Evernote so you can have the OCR running on it unless you need to have the document in PDF format.
• You can also scan a picture even though it’s not the primary purpose of this model. It’s still a solution if you want to make a quick digital copy of a print.

Conclusion

• Very easy to use scanner
• Fast to plug and use
• Good integration with Evernote
• Price 280€ or US$ on the Internet
• Only small regret : I wish the s1300i would require only 1 USB cable to be powered and connected to a computer to reduce clutter on the desktop when used.

I had the pleasure of having lunch last week with Grégory Lefort (aka @greglefort), Azendoo‘s CEO, we had a very rich exchange around the collaboration tool that his company offers and its integration with Evernote.

Note that Azendoo is a company that has caught the eye of Evernote during Leweb back in December 2012 which enabled them to be featured on the Trunk very rapidly.

If you are looking for a solution for managing tasks collaboratively, I can only encourage you to go check Azendoo which offer very interesting as a web application and mobile. The service is free up to 5 users.

Until the next episode, happy evernoting!

As I have been a longtime fan of the Moleskine notebooks, when Evernote announced the deal with Moleskine back in August 2012 I was delighted.

So I am very happy to present you with an interview I did with Peter Jensen Hobolt who is the Head of Digital at Moleskine based out of Milan in Italy.

He tells us everything about the Evernote/Moleskine deal, how it became a reality and what comes next. I am sure you will be surprised as I was about the backstory on this collaboration with the green elephant company.

For more information you can go to evernote.com/moleskine/ and moleskine.com.

You can also listen to my review on the Smart Notebooks in episode #31.

Until the next time, happy evernoting !

Robert Oschler, developer of BitQwik, presents in this episode what can be done with his great free Windows tool to do powerful search easily on your Evernote account.

Yes you can do similar search using the syntax provided by Evernote but it can be difficult to master so having a tool like BitQwik might just be the solution.

As Robert says himself on his website : “Unlock the power of Evernote’s rich set of search operators for finding notes with BitQwik!  You can filter search results by the date created or modified, by file type such as PDF files and more, by the tags used or the source application that created the note, and many, many, other useful ways.”

Until the next time, happy evernoting,

Pierre.

Notes

• “The design is the most important thing”
• No design responsible in the board but Phil is the only employee
• More formal product for education to come
• Pilote school in Spain using Evernote
