Sounds like Evernote could make a scanner unnecessary, if I can just use my iPod Touch to take a snapshot, which then would be OCR-ed automatically? Generally the quotes I want to capture are rarely longer than a paragraph or two, so a quick snapshot would definitely be more convenient than me retyping it my iPad…

I have tried Evernote years ago but there was always something that put me off. The tape interface just didn’t work for me. It will sound silly but for years I didn’t upgrade the desktop application because I preferred the old Evernote Clipper for screen capture. But that was before the smartphone/tablet world, so it’s time for another look.

I would just want to make sure that it is also easy to export notes in such a form that I can get them into some more powerful software to analyse.
