@R You will not lose any data kept in Evernote if you close your Pixily account.

If you close your Pixily account, will you still be able to keep the documents in Evernote? Or does your partnership require you to delete them?

I agree with others. Folders and sub-folders would be great.

I would also want, as Ricky does, folders and sub-folders so that notes could be more organized. Are there others who want this feature?

Sounds great! Will the upload limit affect how much you can send from Pixily?

i’m with you ricky… tags don’t bridge the gap between subfolders. Tags are meant to be used liberally and freely, which means putting tags in a hierarchy will be a wild jungle unless they are very micromanaged and used conservatively…defeating the purpose of tags (which was never to replace subfolders..but to cross link data on the fly with anything you can pull out of your head – unlike subfolders you need to be in the right district of thought).

We need both, we need both, we need both.

Just to reiterate others’ questions – is this available outside the US? Eg. UK?

Are you folks ever planning to do anything really (really) useful, like allowing us to have separate sections and sub sections (like a folder structure) for our notebooks??

I’ve got two scanners, and it takes no time at all for me to scan paper as it comes into the office, but I, for one, could really use some freaking folders.

Does Pixily convert the scans into text too?

Is pixily available to non-US customers?
Nothing is mentioned in the pixily website.
Thanks

Hmm, is this one of the reasons local image processing was removed from the desktop version?

@Parepidemos:

With Pixily, you (or your son) don’t have to do the grunt work. Pixily has a very intuitive user interface, powerful organization and sharing tools and makes all information available as PDFs for you to download (or send to evernote). We don’t use any proprietary format.

A lot of us tend to not scan diligently after a few months, and it isn’t as easy as putting it in a pre-paid envelope. Also, Our scanning equipment is industrial quality and do a better job of scanning than consumer targeted scanners, improving search accuracy.

On top of these value-added benefits, Typical sheet fed scanners cost $250 – $300 ( which is almost 2 years of Pixily’s Value Plan).

In effect, We make it easier for you to stay organized.

George:

With the desktop version, you can synchronize everything with your desktop PC or Mac – thus still having access to all your important documents on your personal computer, even if Evernote goes belly up.

In what way is this better than having my 11yo son scan all my documents for free, here at my home? (and then uploading those docs to Evernote) Is there something special about Pixily’s digital format, or the way the documents are stored?

By: Andrew Sinkov

@George You can export your Evernote data any time you like. We have a well defined XML export and HTML export options. Your data is never locked in.

“Collect all your papers and place them into a pre-paid Pixily envelope.”

Nice! Prepaid even. Have to check where in Czech Republic I can get those.
Since you are not mentioning one word about “USA only” and you do have an international customer base, I assume it goes for all of us? ;o)

Evernote is a nice idea, but I am just a little concerned that having everything of mine in a proprietary format that cannot be retrieved if the company goes out of business one day or they hike rates to an unreasonable rate with no option to take your documents elsewhere.

I know many other people have this same concern about using evernote for important papers or everything you have.
