Android Helper

Let’s take a look at each of the Evernote Android features one by one.

Using your phone camera, you can take pictures of things and store them right away in your Evernote account.  Just press the “snapshot” button and your phone’s camera will kick in.   Take the picture and it will be immediately uploaded to the web.

Now you can really use Evernote as a replacement for your eyes.  Snap whatever you see and never forget it again.  Books in bookshops, parking garage locations, belly dancers in the centre of town, you name it.  Text in pictures is searchable which is particularly good for the book titles.

Upload File

   This function will go to your phone’s internal file folders where you can then find a particular file and upload it to your web account.   So for example, if you have a song you are using as a ringtone, other MP3′s, photos, etc, then you can use the Upload File function to backup those files to the web.  

The Text Note section is basically just a set of text fields which you can type into with your phone keyboard. Say whatever you like and then save it to your web account.  Not much else you can say about this one.

Audio Note is the one I like the best – mainly because I am a lazy layabout who doesn’t like to type very much on the small phone keyboard.   Recording phone messages is as simple as pressing the record button, speaking your message into the phone (as if you’re on a call to someone) and then pressing stop.
