This might be the digital age, but when it comes to taking notes, that old duo of pen and paper has not lost its charm. Which is why notwithstanding all the audio recorders plonked on tables during meetings, you will still hear the sound of pen and paper as people make furious notes. And of course, this being the digital age, they then go back and transfer these to their computers, dash off mails with their excerpts and so on. Now imagine if you could do both — write ‘normally’ on paper and then be able to access what you had written on your device within seconds, with no typing whatsoever? Evernote’s Smart Notebook attempts to let you do just that.
