Evernote is a proprietary software application that allows users to capture information of various types, including text notes, mobile phone snapshots, printed and handwritten text within images, web clips, and digital ink. All data added to Evernote are run through a series of recognizers that make any text within the various note formats searchable. The application uses a continuous "roll of paper" metaphor for its user interface. Additionally, users may create folders, categories and notebooks.

For capturing content beyond direct text and digital ink input, Evernote uses a system of Clippers (Web, Mail, and Universal Clippers) and supports drag-and-drop, cut, copy, and paste, and import/auto-import capabilities.

AI technologies used in the Evernote application for recognition, indexing and search purpose include "AIR (Advanced Image Recognition)" for search of typed and handwritten text in images captured on camera phone or scanner; and "ANR (Advanced Notes Recognition)" for search in digital ink notes captured on pen-enabled devices like Pocket PC, Tablet PC, Ultra-Mobile PC, and digital paper, amongst others. AIR technology is optimized for recognition of low quality images. In contrast to AIR, ANR technology provides not only search capability, but also outputs handwriting recognition results for ink notes; ANR can also automatically smooth and align freehand shapes and charts.

Evernote categories include Automatic, Manual and Keyword (Saved Searches). Categories are automatically assigned to notes based on attributes such as content type, date range, etc.

Evernote's web-based version of the software was updated to version 3.0 in an open beta on June 24, 2008. [ [http://blog.evernote.com/2008/06/24/evernote-public-launch/ "Evernote Public Launch!"] ]

Evernote is a competitor of Microsoft OneNote on the Windows, unlike Google Notebook it supports writing notes as well as capturing them.

Evernote can import Outlook notes through the Windows client. There are no other import mechanisms. Evernote will save a "roll" as HTML or text, but there is no mechanism for exporting in a database-friendly format. In its current incarnation Evernote has a very strong data lock.

Article 3.(e) of [http://www.evernote.com/about/tos/ Terms of Service] (5663 words) says: "your Contributions automatically become the property of Evernote without any obligation of Evernote to you". This, however, does not refer to the content that someone submits to his account but rather to contributions sent to Evernote via the contact form.
