Hi there - thanks for coming back to visit! While you're here, why not sign up for the Legal Practice Pro Newsletter?
The folks at Evernote have been working on something new that seems very promising! Evernote in its current state is useful, but is really just a bloated non-web accessible version of Google Notebook and so I chose not to use it for more than a few days.
One of the major missing items was web access which Google made so easy.
But Evernote is working on a new version, currently “Evernote Beta” which is really exciting.
Major advantages include text searching in images and handwritten notes! Imagine taking a snapshot of your airplane ticket, and then searching for it later by entering keywords such as “southwest ticket” or “flight march 15″. It’s essentially OCR without having to actually manually process any OCR.
Check out the video and be blown away! (high def version here)
You can try to get a beta invitation to try Evernote, or just wait till it comes out. (I’m not waiting)
Once I get invited, I’ll post my testing here.

Oh that sounds very promising indeed. I know OCR is a big thing in hiring/employment (searching in scanned resumes) and think this would be useful for home business as well.
Best wishes,
Barbara
