Evernote is THE killer application in my iPhone renovation toolbox and i need to take a little time to explain why before you watch the explanation video which will be easier but I have some very practical examples for you.

Imagine having at your finger tips all your scanned ideas, photos, notes, articles etc etc all the time no matter where you are,  well with Evernote you do but with a little extra.

What Evernote does is actually look at the items you have uploaded and then OCR’s it so you can then search within the picture for words so you are not just sorting mindlessly through all your documents .

Example

We have scanned in many ideas, photos and pages that we have seen that we would like to incorporate into our house. Most of these are showers or pumps at the moment and when I’m out and about I cant remember what I’ve seen so i just type into Evernote “shower” and it brings me up all my documents ( photos and written ) with the word “shower” in them

Evernote syncs between as many Macs, iPhones or PC’s you have it on so no matter where you upload your document from it’ll find it’s way to your phone when you search its amazing. While I’m out looking for idea’s Dawn is constantly adding stuff that i can see on the fly.

The Cost?
As with everything else we are going to try and bring you it’s fantastic value at the starting cost of FREE ! Yep FREE, now for that you get 50Mb a month upload however like us you can end up paying $45 for a year and get 500Mb a month and priority OCR over the free users. We are adding so much content to our Evernote account it’s great as Dawn can do it from work and that gets synced with my iPhone and my dad is even uploading from the web.

You can grab it from the iTunes store for your phone HERE or go to Http://www.Evernote.com for desktop and other phones.

Here’s a video that’ll explain it better than i can:
