From capturing photos of job sites under construction to saving scans of paper documents to discovering the shared knowledge of his entire team, Evernote Business lets him run almost every aspect of his company in the office and on the go. Watch now to see how RCKa uses Evernote Business, and learn what Evernote Business can do for your company.

Evernote Business allows each of us to share and discover the knowledge of every member of our team. It’s the second brain of our entire company, like it is for yours.

Did you know that Evernote has a sister company that only works on digital ink and handwriting recognition products for pen-enabled devices? They’re called Ritescript, and they just released a major new version of their ritePen Pro 3.1 software. If you use Evernote for Windows and have a pen tablet or tablet PC, then ritePen might completely change the way you use your computer; and they’re offering a big discount for Evernote users!

In their own words

ritePen is an advanced handwriting recognition software for Microsoft Windows-based pen-enabled computers. Users of ritePen can write anywhere on their screen or other input surface and have their handwriting instantly converted to text for use in any Windows application, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and numerous others.

ritePen + Evernote

ritePen turns your entire screen into a canvas, so your writing is never constrained. You can jot notes, grab and annotate screen content, even launch applications, all without ever reaching for a mouse. The best part is how well it works with Evernote.

Feature: Handwriting recognition

There seems to be an inverse relationship between time spent at a computer and clarity of my handwriting. Luckily, ritePen can deal with whatever you throw at it. Whether you have your third grade teacher’s perfect penmanship or something more akin to a monkey doctor (either interpretation), ritePen will recognize it and place the text right where you need it regardless of where on the screen you write.

Feature: Annotation

See something interesting on the web? Quickly annotate what you like using ritePen’s markup tool, then click the Send to Evernote button to send the image directly into Evernote on your desktop. Since ritePen is designed to be an extension of natural handwriting, you won’t find any bounding boxes or region selection options. Instead, ritePen automatically creates an invisible box around the area that you annotate, so you get only what you want. If you want to capture a larger area, simply draw four dots around the area you wish to capture and ritePen does the rest.

Feature: Macros

ritePen allows you to assign handwritten shortcuts, which perform predefined actions. For example, you can assign a circled “w” to launch Wikipedia or have a circled “en” open up a blank note in Evernote. Does it get any simpler than that?

Feature: Smart Navigation

When you’re working with a pen computer, nothing breaks your productive groove faster than having to switch your brain from “now I’m writing some text” to “now I’m navigating around the system.” With ritePen, you don’t have to think about it. When you move your pen in ritePen, it automagically figures out whether you meant to write text, grab a scrollbar, click a button, resize a window, or fire off a macro. Pen navigation becomes almost invisible, and you can concentrate on the work at hand!

Curio, in their own words

Curio is Zengobi’s award-winning note taking, mind mapping, brainstorming, and task management application for Mac OS X. Its innovative freeform interface promotes visual thinking, a more natural way to gather, associate, and recall ideas.

Curio 5.4 helps users organize their thoughts and ideas. Now, everyone from creative professionals to students can use any version of Evernote to capture their inspirations, and have that content automatically appear in Curio. UPDATE: For more information on the integration, read the Curio 5.4 release notes.

Why this is cool

UPDATE: Both Free and Premium users can now attach any type of file to a note. Learn more here.

It’s a big day here at Evernote. In addition to updated versions of Evernote for Windows and Evernote for Mac, we’re launching a fantastic, new Premium-only feature: file and document synchronization.

When we launched, we said we’d help you remember everything. Today, we dramatically expanded the meaning of the word everything to include, well, everything*. Evernote Premium users can now add any type of file to a note. Once a file is added to Evernote, it’s synchronized with the Evernote Service and made instantly available across all version of Evernote, even mobile.

Why this is cool

Now, not only can you take notes, clip web pages, snap photos, and record audio, but you can also add the stuff you’re working on, like that client presentation, the novel you’re writing, your resume, your band’s MP3s, those Photoshop files, and just about anything else you can think of.

Best of all, Evernote Premium users no longer need to worry about where their files are, how to access them, where the last copy is saved, or how to share them. Everything is in Evernote, available whenever and wherever needed.

Multiple files in a note

You can add multiple files to a single note. So, say you’re organizing the big corporate offsite. Create a public notebook called “Offsite.” Create a note with the location, meeting agenda, and include all the PowerPoint presentation files. Now, share this notebook’s URL with other attendees. The whole process will take no time at all and you’ll come out looking like an organizational ninja.

Live update

When using the desktop versions of Evernote, if you open a file contained in a note, make changes, then save the file, Evernote will automatically update the version in your notes to the latest. This feature applies to files supported in Free accounts, as well.

Emailing files from your phone

You need to urgently send a file to a coworker, but you’re out to dinner with friends. No worries, it’s in Evernote. Just pull up the note on your phone and email it. How easy is that!?!

The ability to add any type of file to a note is only available to Evernote Premium users. Sign up or upgrade now for only $5/month or $45/year, or give an Premium account as a gift.

And don’t forget, it’s only $5 to try out Evernote Premium. If you’re like us, you’ll never want to go back, but if you prefer Free, rest assured that you will always have access to the notes and files you added as a Premium user.

* Ok, fine, not everything. There is a limitation to be aware of: the total size for a single note cannot exceed 25MB. That HD family reunion video probably won’t fit.

We recently launched the Evernote API, which allows third party developers to integrate Evernote functionality into their applications and services. In this series, we will highlight some of the most exciting integrations.

What’s Tarpipe

Tarpipe simplifies the process of adding, sharing, and moving content among the web services you use, by allowing you to define a repeatable, automatic workflow. The Tarpipe/Evernote integration allows you to add content into your Evernote account, as well as automatically extract content, such as recognition data and URLs to public notes, which can then be shared with other supported services.

Example workflow: Searchable Twitter archive in Evernote

For example, you can create a workflow, in which an email subject becomes a Twitter message, that is then automatically sent into Evernote to create an archive of your tweets. Here’s a screenshot of what that workflow looks like in Tarpipe.

Getting started

Using Tarpipe is relatively simple, and surprisingly fun.

1. Create an account, then start a new a workflow.
2. Decide how content will enter the workflow, either via email or a Mac desktop app called Dropipe. If you will be emailing, select “Mail drop box” from the receptor drop down and choose MailDecoder from the Connector list. If you will be using the Dropipe app, select REST API from the receptor drop down and choose RestDecoder from the Connector list.
3. Select all the web services that you want your content to go to, and connect them to one another however you like. When you’re finished, hit Save.
4. Now, email content to the generated email address, or use Dropipe.

The video below, narrated by Tarpipe’s Bruno Pedro, shows the creation and execution of a workflow that starts with Bruno dropping a screenshot onto the desktop application, and ends with the content in Evernote; Flickr, with tags populated with Evernote’s recognition data; and Twitter, with a link back to Flickr. To make all that happen, all Bruno did was drop an image onto the Dropipe app.

Use case: automatically tag a screenshot using Evernote.

Why this is cool

Tarpipe has created a very user friendly way to interact with Evernote, and other web services, on a level that’s usually reserved for programmers. For the less technical among us, like myself, it feels somewhat empowering to customize how data is published across the web. As a bonus, it adds new ways to add and share Evernote content. We like that.

Pelotonics, in their own words

Pelotonics unifies your team online to get things done. Organize your projects, collaborate with your group, and succeed in meeting your goals.

Pelotonics + Evernote API

Pelotonics is a project management and collaboration service, which allows organizations to easily manage multiple projects and tasks among groups of users. What Pelotonics needed was a powerful information capture tool. They found that in Evernote, thanks to the Evernote API.

Here’s a video conversation between Phil Libin (our CEO) and Troy Malone of Pelotonics.

Troy Malone and Phil Libin discuss the Integration.

Why this is cool

If you’re like us, then you spend a lot of time thinking about work (in a good way). It often feels like inspiration has a tendency to strike at random times, and the key is to capture it and make it actionable. The combination of Evernote’s multiplatform data capture, and Pelotonics’ project management, make going from inspiration to action a snap.

Thanks to the integration, users can now link Pelotonics to Evernote and easily bring notes into their Pelotonics account. Once a note is in Pelotonics, it can be assigned to a user or project, set as a task, attached to a message, or saved as a file. Instructions on linking the accounts are available on the Pelotonics FAQ page.

Since this is a server-side integration, user can take full advantage of all the functionality Evernote offers. Create a note using the desktop, web, or mobile versions of Evernote, sync, and have it instantly appear in Pelotonics. The video below shows Troy using the integration.

Take action on your Evernote voice notes!

We’re so hip.

Introducing, the new Evernote Web Clipper, which gives you the ease and simplicity of bookmarking, but more importantly, also gives you context by saving the text, images, and links, including the source URL, right into your Evernote account. Once the page, or part of a page, is saved into your account, you can tag, organize, search, browse, edit, and remember it forever.

I use the web clipper when I’m researching vacations, looking for a good recipe, or when I run across neat technical articles. With a single click, I have the content saved. So, even if the page goes away, my memory of it doesn’t.

Most importantly, because the web clipper is part of Evernote, you can have more than just copies of web pages. You can remember all sort of stuff such as, pictures, personal notes, doodles on napkins, and anything else, all accessible online, offline, and from your phone.

Here’s a short video where Andrew shows us how to install and use the web clipper:

Here’s another idea. Find a recipe online and clip it into Evernote. Then, when you’re at the store, bring the note up on your phone using Evernote Mobile Web: instant shopping list.

A little technical detail: You don’t need to reinstall the bookmarklet (the little browser button that says “Clip to Evernote”) if you already have it. It automatically upgrades to the latest version. Otherwise, go on and install it. Just drag or add the green clipper button below to your link bar.

Now, get out there and start clipping!

Those of you out there with Windows Mobile phones have it pretty good, since Evernote for Windows Mobile will automatically send snapshots and audio right into your account.

But, since many of you don’t have Windows Mobile phones we thought you might want to give ShoZu a shot. ShoZu is an application that can be set to automatically send snapshots to your Evernote email address as soon as you snap the photo, and ShoZu works with a ton of different phones.

This video shows how ShoZu and Evernote work together.

Get ShoZu

1. Go to www.ShoZu.com, and click on Get ShoZu
2. Find your phone in the list of supported phones
3. Create an account and follow the installation instructions
4. Once installed, select Send to Email and configure ShoZu to send to your Evernote email address
5. Select Evernote and go to the Sending setting menu and set it to “Auto Send”

That’s it. Now, go snapshot crazy.
