![]() While it’s great for saving and OCRing whole web pages, Evernote offers more precise control of what users clip. Microsoft’s OneNote Clipper bookmarklet that launched today can’t hold a candle to Evernote’s web clipper, either. ![]() While Microsoft offers OCR for Windows-based OneNote users and through the new Office Lens app for Windows Phone, it hasn’t made it onto the Mac yet. ![]() As someone who spends a lot of time going to conferences, I love being able to take a screenshot of a day’s schedule on my Mac, and then search my notes on my iPhone while on public transit to figure out when I need to be at a venue. One of the features that I love about Evernote is its ability to use optical character recognition to make any image with text that I add to my notebooks immediately searchable. The tags sit in the left margin of a block of notes, and make it easy to call out important information. OneNote also hits it out of the park when it comes to line-by-line note tags. OneNote makes it easy to add small image tags to individual notes to remind users of key tasks and important pieces of information. It’s easy to create and resize multiple text boxes without a previous understanding of how the app works, which is great for using notetaking styles that don’t conform to the basic bulleted outline format. Getting multiple notetaking columns out of Evernote is a pain, but doing the same thing in OneNote takes about 5 seconds. The ability to do custom text layout inside a note is absolutely killer. Here are my first impressions of OneNote for the Mac. Looking at Microsoft’s offering, though, there’s a lot that I like in OneNote. Evernote has become an integral part of my daily workflow, to the point where it’s one of the first apps I install whenever I get a new device. ![]() I’ve been an Evernote user for several years now, in part because OneNote was never available for my Mac, even as Microsoft added versions of the app for iPad, iPhone and Android devices.
