We'll chalk it up to a beta product released before it was ready and advise that you keep an eye out. You can download the audio note, but it won't play on Windows Media Player (bundled on most office PCs). You can't take a voice memo from your PC, nor does playback exist. When you do arrive, it's not as pretty, doesn't operate as fast, or have the same features.Ĭase in point: the audio transcription and notes. The reason for hesitation is the web-based version. Would we switch from Evernote? Not yet, but not because of the mobile app. This would be handy for snippets of research or for saving personal things, like recipes. If you're using Chrome for Android, you can share a webpage snapshot into a Keep note. We'd like to see a way to have collaborative Keep notes (like a To Do list for workplace teams) but this is an initial release.
You can also share the notes via email, images are turned into attachments, lists are turned into bulleted text, etc. Even if it comes out with nonsense, you can always edit the text or listen to the recording. We've dealt with their transcription before using Google Now's instant search on our Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, and it's pretty dang accurate in most instances. Hit the mic icon, drop sick rhymes, and Google will translate it into text. The really fun feature is voice-input notes. Just looking at the color-coded digital Post-it notes makes us happy for some odd reason. We also really like the interface here, even more so than Evernote. When compared to Evernote, however, it's about even, feature-wise. Then again, OneNote's mobile app is limited to text, lists, and snapshots, all on a blank white page. The Android app is extremely quick and responsive, with no lag issues - truly impressive for an initial release.Īs for the note-taking itself, it slaughters OneNote's Android app. Keep comes in two flavors for now, Android and web-based. Should the legal masses flock from Evernote? Lets take a look. New geekery gets us so excited that we’ve already tested it.
(We liked Evernote better.)Īs predicted, Google went through with the launch on Android and on the web. If so, it was jumping in to a crowded field - Evernote dominates and OneNote has a healthy share due to its inclusion with Microsoft Office. On Monday, we alerted you to the possible upcoming launch of Google Keep, a note-taking addition to Google Drive that appeared to be an Evernote competitor.
