I need to get back to using Evernote again. I had used it for a while, and then stalled out. I’ve been handwriting more again lately, though, so I think it would be worth it.
Great other links, too. I really like what Colorverse has been doing. They make some great inks.

There is a lot to like about Evernote not the least of which is that it isn’t a Microsoft or Google product. 😀
Colorverse wins the prize for attractive packaging. The ink comes in a good variety of colors and characteristics. Definitely recommended. Mine came from Pen Chalet but lots of retailers offer the line now. Do you have a favorite color?

I like the Colorverse Schrodinger and cat combo. 🙂 I’m pretty sure at least most of mine came from Pen Chalet as well.

I tried Evernote for the handwritten functionality years ago and it was hit or miss for me… mostly miss lol. I will give it another try… still looking for an app that will convert handwriting into text…

Handwriting is so varied, it’s hard to imagine a program that would get it right every time. For now, Evernote at least offers a means to preserve back-of-the-envelope or notes-on-a-napkin as searchable. That’s so useful for those of us who are compelled to scribble and jot.
