(Archived) Usability - A faster way to create new photo notes

[vitalyb 16]

Currently it seems to me that the process of adding new notes is a bit cumbersome.

For example, I want to make a quick photo note, here is the process I envision:

1) Press the "Photo" button on the widget

2) Photo camera comes up

3) Press the capture picture button.

4) Note is, at this point, is made.

I could retake the photo, but if I press "Home" button at this point, the note should already exist and be uploaded.

Here are the steps that I have to make today:

1) Press the "Photo" button on the widget

2) Photo camera comes up

3) Press the capture picture button.

4) Press the "Accept" button

5) I am transferred to blank note button.

6) Press the (tiny) "Save" button

I understand that sometimes it'd be nice to add some data on the photo you took, but for me at least, 99% of the times I just want to snap a quick photo of something to remember. I will add more details when I am near the computer since it is when it is more comfortable to me to do so.

For your future consideration.

Thanks,

Vitaly

This is an excellent opportunity for a third party developer & that's what you're probably going to have to hope for. (Or do it yourself.) There are at least a couple iOS third party apps that do this very thing. IE, I've used FastEver (for text) & FastEverSnap (for photos) for a few years to make getting notes into Evernote faster than using the EN iOS app. They do not do any editing/retrieval of existing notes - only feed Evernote & do it quickly.
