Interesting Internet Finds – WE May 9, 2014

Posted on by

I publish Interesting Internet Finds monthly in the Boca Raton Computer Society’s Boca Bits monthly newsletter, and share them through APCUG‘s PUSH program  with other computer/technology user group newsletter editors.

Each month, I find many more things than I can use, so have decided to start publishing some of those that were not used for the newsletter on this blog most Fridays.

I do not go into much depth about each one, I just put them out there for you to check out yourself.

How to Use Handwritten Notes Feature in Evernote for Android

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/evernote-handwritten-notes/
Handwriting for Android Evernote is something I have been waiting for. Now you don’t have to use a separate app for handwritten notes and then get them into Evernote. The OCR doesn’t work too well with my handwriting, but that is OK as I title notes and file where I know I can find them easily.
