or so suggest stylized image of an elephant – the application's logo. Since computers never die, at least not completely, Evernote is undoubtedly a better solution than an elephant. This application is a fair way of taking notes, although it is not limited to just notes. I admit that I'm not the most organized user of Evernote, and that's okay because it's customizable to every user's needs and methods. Before giving you the lowdown on some ways you can use it, I would like to say that my favorite use is a log for remembering things. What I mean by that, is when I want to know the last time I went with the family to Chuck E. Cheese's (a lot of people here in Santiago think that it is "Chuck & Cheese" because of the cursive "E" that may look like an ampersand to some people. I would like to set them straight on that, but I know that it's not going to go over that nicely. So, instead of guessing or asking someone, all I have to do is look for the receipt I scanned, or one of the photos you can take in the photo booth there, and voila! I get the date, and proof to show to whomever is interested.
Chuck E. Cheese's aside, when you're translating, you can translate right into the note that you're working on and later transfer it to a word processing program. You can clip pages of KudoZ answers, so you can search them later, or, if you like, you can just clip the link to the page. If you need to do research on the subject matter, you can also clip those webpages for easy access. I also see potential for putting together systems and methods that would involve several specialized software programs that you might not need/want to pay for. Just an example would be a list of favorite links that you could categorize however you wanted.
