It’s good to know all of the different methods there are for placing to-dos (aka Notes) into Evernote:

1. Open EN directly, hit the New Note icon (or shortcut Command-N/Ctrl-Alt-N) and type away.

2. Globally from anywhere on your computer, hit Control-Command-N for Mac, xxx for Windows.

3. From inside your email program, send any email to EN by emailing it to your unique EN email address (if you’ve forgotten it, you’ll find it under the menu: Evernote: Account Info…)

4. From inside your web browser, you can use the Evernote Web Clipper, which once installed, will show up in your browser tab row. Clicking it will give you the choice to either save the entire page’s contents, or just the URL.

On Windows: Ctrl-Alt-N

On Windows: you can also simply mark the text in whatever app (email, word processor, etc.) and press Win+A to copy the selection straight into a new note. (Need to open the note afterwards if a tag assignment is needed, though).

The android allows Widgets. This basically puts the command for new note, new voice, new pic on your “desktop”.

I’ve added Evernote Widget to my phones lockscreen trhough an application called WidgetLocker

Right now I can wake up my android, touch new text, pic or voice note.

Also, on the Android on the text entry virtual keyboard you have a Text to Speech option. Not great, but it usually works.

So basically you can use an Android to quickly dictate a note.

Also there is a company called Quicktate (http://quicktate.com/) that will hook into your Evernote Voice Memos and transcribe them. It’s a paid service and it’s sort of based on the word, so I’m not sure if it’s worth it. I might try it one month to see how the response goes.

Should be better than the Google Keyboard trying to translate speech.

There’s also ENScript.exe. I use this within a batch file:

@echo off
SET Path4ENScript=”c:\bin\evernote\ENScript.exe”
SET text=%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
IF NOT “%1%”==”" GOTO param_ok

SET /p text=Enter task:
IF “%text%”==”" GOTO empty_task

:param_ok
REM do %text% /nd
%Path4ENScript% createNote /i “%text%” /s empty_file.txt
goto end
