I hadn’t heard of Scrivener until a client brought it to my attention earlier this year, but once I tried it out, I was completely hooked. Scrivener is an ever-expanding, all-encompassing binder Links to each of the writing tools are at the end of this post. So, here’s the video, and I describe each a bit more in the text after the video. I’ll go through each of the software apps here, but I’ve also created a workshop video, so you can actually see the interfaces of Scrivener, Dropbox, and Evernote on my laptop. If my hard drive ever crashes, all I’ll need to do is spend 10 minutes downloading software, log back into the cloud storage, and it’ll be like nothing catastrophic ever happened. Using these three programs together, I have created a beautiful little system that makes it simple for me to collect bits of writing for different contexts and review them all easily, to capture ideas as the come to me, and to ensure that everything is backed up onto the cloud. And you can be confident that if ever you need to stop using Evernote, then your book indexes will still be searchable, even if your next notetaking app doesn't provide OCR.Today I am sharing my three favorite writing tools for staying organized in my own, personal writing: Scrivener, Dropbox, and Evernote. Plus it can take a long time for Evernote's servers to get around to scanning your images, which can be frustrating.Īlso, try it yourself to see how manually typing an index like the one above will take less than 10 minutes. If your photo isn't up to par, or (more commonly) if your handwriting isn't legible enough, then Evernote will not be able to scan the images of your index for text. This sounds amazing in theory, but in practice, I've found it's not particularly reliable. If this worked perfectly, you could upload a photo of your hand-written index to your note, and Evernote can then search that image for text.
Evernote can search the text contained within images with OCR. At this point, it's worth noting that for premium users, Evernote offers optical character recognition.
