Since we announced our partnership with Moleskine, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the day Evernote Smart Notebooks would begin to ship. Today, Evernote Smart Notebooks are beginning to make their way to those who placed their pre-orders (most of you should receive them within the next week). If you’d like to get one for yourself, buy an Evernote Smart Notebook now.

Using the Evernote Smart Notebook

You can use any mobile version of Evernote with these notebooks. Those that combine the Evernote Smart Notebook with Evernote for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch will get our new Page Camera feature that make the notebooks even more useful.

The Page Camera is designed to work with the notebook’s dotted page pattern to optimize images and save handwritten notes and sketches to Evernote with the best quality, so you can easily find them on any device where you have Evernote installed. Included with each Evernote Smart Notebook are sets of Smart Stickers that digitally tag your handwritten notes; when you use the Evernote iOS app to snap photos of your pages, the new Page Camera will recognize these special stickers, automatically tag your notes, and save them into pre-selected notebooks in your account. For more details on how this works, see our Getting Started Guide.

Even if you’re not an iOS user, you can still take advantage of this unique integration. When you snap a photo of your handwritten notes using Evernote on any of your computers or devices, your text and images will be indexed and made searchable in Evernote, everywhere.

We’re very excited about this partnership because it brings together two things we love: beautiful paper products and advanced technology. For those of us who enjoying jotting down our thoughts on paper but also want to have those memories available forever digitally, the Evernote Smart Notebook is the best of both worlds.

How will you use your Evernote Smart Notebook?

Can you explain how the stickers work? Are the stickers the only way to sort of tag your notes?

Just got mine. Maybe I am dumb, but how do I upgrade my current account to premium?

  On the very last page of the book, there is a code in the bottom section of that page.

    I see the code, but can’t figure out where to use it at. All of my options are to pay for 1 year or month to month with a credit card. No option to use the code

Just got mine – and I have to say, I’m astonished at how well it recognizes my handwriting. I typically print in hand notes of this type, and that seems to really work well. The pictures seem to have very high contrast, that must have something to do with it.

Were there an app for Windows phone, I’d be all over this. iOS folks (its authors and users) are not really the early-adopter crowd.

I just got my new Evernote/Moleskin yesterday. I’ve been using Moleskin products for about 7 years now and was excited to try this one out. I’ve been using Evernote for around 3 years now, and hope to continue to use it for the next 20+ years. It’s one of the most helpful tools I’ve ever used.

Regarding the notebook — I will not be purchasing a 2nd one simply because the cover design is way too childish/unprofessional. I work with many C-level executives, and I do not feel comfortable carrying a notebook into a meeting that has all the stupid graphics on the cover. The neon green highlights are gaudy enough.

If you simply created a front cover with a subtle-Evernote logo impressioned on it — that would be enough to not be ashamed to use it in the professional world. Secondly, it would allow me to be a better Evernote advocate as many executives I work with are continually looking how to marry hand written notes into the digital world.

It’s a great first try though.

  Couldn’t agree more. On both the childish graphics comment and executives looking for a print/digital solution. Love the idea, just make a professsional version as well.

    Why not just cover it up yourself? Or take the stickers and put them in another Moleskine or any other notebook?

I received my Smart Notebook yesterday, but I guess there’s nothing I can really do with it since I’m in the Android eco-system. I’d be interested in feedback from others (before I open the shrinkwrap) of how/if their SM was of any added value to them. I suppose I could sell it to an IOS user; I know plenty at my workplace.

Not sure I understand the benefits of this notebook. What’s the difference in snapping a picture of a Evernote notebook with an application and just taking a picture with your camera and emailing it to your evernote email address? You don’t have to buy a special notebook for that method and it works with regular paper. I believe you can add tags and choose notebooks with the email if you know the correct syntax.

  This is the question I have. It is unclear to me, from reading through the product information, whether or not the app ‘reads’ the handwritten notes.
  
  From the description: “Once in Evernote, you can search for your handwritten notes by keyword, tag, or just visually browse.” Are these keywords and tags that I manually submit, or does it ‘read’ what I have written? Does it provide an OCR version?
  
  Thank you.

    I haven’t tried the evernote notebook out so can’t speak from experience, but if it’s like the livescribe notebook (which I haven tried), it will literally search handwritten notes. It’s pretty amazing .

Will this be available for Blackberries? I’ve seen Android mentioned, but you’d be missing out on a big market if you forgot us Crackberry users!

Oh great. Just ordered it and now read that my android won’t work with it. That info could have been highlighted.

12 cents a page for the notebook!! Conceivably it could be worth that if time savings were realized. Still. I like the ring bound, lay flat notebooks I can get from the grocery store for tiny fractions of a cent per page.
