Digitizing old notes -- in Evernote?

[Sorry - fat finger trouble]

Yes I have. One solution is to use a commercial scanning operation. For financial reasons I decided to DIY. I use the much-praised Fujitsu Scansnap 1500M (http://scanners.fcpa.fujitsu.com/scansnapit/?gclid=CKHWkP3hl7MCFXDLtAodKE0AvQ) - expensive, but excellent with flexible management software and a sheet feeder, plus guidance from the DocumentSnap website (http://www.documentsnap.com/pdo-spuhq/) and advice from these books (http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/paperless-office and http://macsparky.com/paperless/). All for the Mac, I’m afraid.

All this may sound like overkill, but depending on the volume of your notes there can be a lot to consider; there was for me, from automatic filing to retrieval to backup. I find half an hour’s scanning most days is the way to work through it.
