WebCam Notes

If you use a webcam with your Windows computer, you may see a new note type in your Evernote toolbar: WebCam note. Clicking the WebCam note button turns on your camera and pops open a snapshot window. Once you take the snapshot, a new note is created in Evernote containing the image.

This feature is great for taking quick snapshots of business cards and wine labels. You can even turn your computer around and snap a photo of a whiteboard after your next brainstorming session. Once in Evernote, those images will be synchronized and processed so that you’ll be able to find your notes from anywhere.

Please note that there are a lot of different Windows webcams on the market. We were able to test compatibility with some, but certainly not all. If your webcam is supported, then you will see the WebCam note option. If it is not supported, then the option may not appear or may not capture the image correctly. Be sure to restart Evernote whenever you attach a new webcam to your computer.

    I love Evernote, but is there a way to change the icons? I have 4 notebooks and want each to have its own icon!

    Seems the check for update feature is not working. I’m using 3.1 but the “check for update” dialog tell me my version is up to date.

    Sooo… maximum resolution for a webcam note is 640×480, eh? That’s pretty crap. I waited to buy a Microsoft LifeCam Studio (which does native 1080p video), and I get no benefit over any other generic, aging webcam.

    Nice.

      Or let me put this another way:

      Please add 1280×720 and 1920×1080 as allowable webcam capture resolutions to Evernote!!
