Occasionally, two copies of the same note will be found to be in conflict. In Evernote for Mac and Windows all of your notes are also stored in a local database on your computer’s hard drive. Every synced note in your account is stored in Evernote Web.

For instance, if you initiate a sync from an Evernote desktop application, any new or updated content will first be uploaded to Evernote Web, and only from there can it be downloaded to your other devices when a subsequent sync is initiated. Evernote ritePen 3.How does sync work within Evernote? OverviewĮvernote's service is arranged in such a way that every sync operation goes through Evernote Web. Graphic artists, or anyone who would prefer using a pen as an input method, will find ritePen 3.0 a very nice alternative to the traditional keyboard.

While we would like to see Mac compatibility, for $29.95 the ritePen 3.0 for Windows (a free, 30-day trial is available) is an excellent application for adding handwriting recognition and several other useful tools to your PC. For example, we launched Outlook by writing the letters "OE" and circling them. We were also able to create shortcuts in the Settings menu by clicking the Macros tab and assigning a letter, word, or phrase to an application. It all worked quite smoothly, but selecting text was confusing at first it takes a second or two for the familiar black block to appear, which initially made us believe we were crossing out text instead. Double-tapping a word highlights it, while dragging the cursor icon across a series of words allowed us to select sentences and paragraphs. We were able to add line breaks, backspace, cut and paste text, and perform other traditional keyboard functions using only the digital pen (ritePen's Web site has a short but informative tutorial). This digital pen also supports advanced gestures that eliminate the need to touch the keyboard. In those instances we had to turn ritePen 3.0 off to navigate successfully. However, sometimes when we would attempt to use the scroll bar on a Web page, we ended up marking it with digital ink. Upon launching Microsoft Paint, ritePen 3.0 let us draw freely, without attempting to convert our strokes into text. The software is also smart enough to recognize when we weren't writing.
