Evernote’s Scannable app helps you go paperless

Looking to declutter your life? Evernote is making it easier for you with a dedicated scanning app for iOS. Scannable works on iOS 8 devices or higher and you don’t need an Evernote account to use it (but that is an option). It speeds up scanning and digitizing and it doesn’t require you to store them on Evernote notebooks. You can export them elsewhere or save them in the camera roll. It can even scan business cards and import the details to LinkedIn, if you want it to. At the moment, there is no Android version of the app though.

Evernote brings Context feature to Android and Windows

Evernote debuted in October a feature they call Context to iOS and Mac. What Context does is it pulls content from different sources and then displays these on your screen. The sources include everything from your old notes, your co-workers’ notes, as well as websites like The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, and Fast Company. Now, Android and Windows Phone users who have Premium and Business accounts on Evernote will gain access to Context.

If you worry about having your information shared with these different sources, Evernote assures its users that it doesn’t share information to any of the publishers about you and your account.

Evernote for Mac gets image resizing feature, Spotlight search for notes

Evernote is adding more functionality to its Mac app with a new list of features. Users can resize images dynamically. You just need to grab the bottom right corner and resize accordingly. You can also search within notes using OS X’s Spotlight feature, which would come in handy when you can find bits of information tucked away within your notebooks.

The app also gets better syncing capabilities, improved tables tool, and bigger checkboxes. In-app search also shows results based on relevancy. According to Evernote’s Vice President of Market Andrew Sinkov, they also remedied over 500 bugs and 200 different crashes with this latest update.
