Hello, everyone and thank you for tuning in the Inside Geek Canada, my name is Evan Thies and today is our iPhone feature and we are going to be taking a look at a really cool note taking application called Ever Note for iPhone. Now, this is also a desktop application that would run either on Windows or Mac OS10 and it is actually a really cool unique note taking application. I want to say note taking, I do not mean just you know writing down or typing your notes I mean you know pictures and audio and in the cloud sinking and getting your data everywhere that you need. You know this is—I think it is the most useful for me is with my iPhone. I actually take a picture, let us say a business card or something you write down or a receipt or whatever you can track of it and it may be stored in ever known you tag it and then you can find it later whenever you might need it.

I realize actually greater, also picking a word from pictures. So if you take a picture of a receipt or you know something you want to remember just a couple a little phrase or something like that. You can actually go in and search in there and it will try tag those words and locate those words inside the photo. So, I am just going to give you a little demo I have ever note on the iPhone. It does have more advance features of course on the desktop applications but I will show you how every note works on the iPhone. So let us get right to it.

Okay, we are one of my iPhone menu pages here and in the corner there you can see every note so let us go ahead and launch that. Now, when you first have ever note you will be required to create a new account but that is pretty easy, go to their website it is standard procedures so you do that. Once you have done that you can login and you can get a menu like this. Now, this is basically the main menu that you come to, to take notes.. So the first option here is text note. So let us take a look, first we have the title which is just the title of your note, the notebook where it is going to saved, mine is just set to my user name. On the tags of the note and the note itself which just comes down to this general area. So, I am not going to save any of this notes for now I am just going to kind of demo the different ways you can take notes but so do not save.

The next one is a snap shot note. Now, obviously this is going to look a bit funny here because you can see a bit of my laptop on my hands simply because I am just filling it but you could take a picture of a business card or receipt or whatever you might want and you just snap the picture and away you go. But for now I am just going to cancel. The next one is a saved photo note and this one is basically inner camera roll for some of the picture you have taken on your iPhone you can actually imbed them in notes so this particular picture is just of a business card from an Apple representative. So if I would click on here, you will see that it brings it right into a new note pad so it is the images imbedded you can once again title the note, tag the note and choose what notebook you want to save too. And that way you can brows that on your desktop on the web, wherever just to see the image.

Let us cancel that again and the last one is an audio note. And an audio note basically allows you to record something and have it played back to you on you know the web or your desktop applications. I think this is really cool because you can almost use this as on the go Podcast, say you are walking around and you bump into someone you would like to do an interview with then you can quickly do on the spot, record it. The MP3 files indicated to the web server and to your desktop clients so you can simply download the MP3 file and use it as a Podcast.

But we will cancel that, the next tab in here is notes. Now, I have some pre-save notes here and thought I just want to take you through, and it deals with all the different types. So, the first
