I think it's an OS issue. I see it, for instance, in the stock e-mail app and in a calendar app, as well as in Evernote.

I use Cronofy, but that will only sync the one-and-only Evernote reminder to your online calendar. At present, Evernote isn't really set up to do what you want to do, @hawkdrver. It might be best to try using Google Calendar, or Outlook, or whatever your usual calendar is, to set up the reminders. Then what you can do is copy the note's link (Note menu, then Copy Note Link) and paste this into the comment or note section of a calendar item. Clicking that should open the relevant note in Evernote. (In Windows, if you hold down Ctrl while clicking Copy Note Link, you'll get a link that will go directly to the Evernote program, without opening the Evernote Website first.) That way you do get a reminder, which you can specify for repeats, etc., that leads you to the Evernote note.

Well put, @B-Seitz! "Immediate babysitting" is exactly my experience too. If you haven't yet, be sure to click the up-arrow at the top of this page to add your vote for this feature. Welcome to the forums!

Definitely a needed feature. I voted it up.

Absolutely no need for this little bit of aggravation.

Brilliant! Just the sort of thing I was hoping for. So I clipped your post, did a bit of formatting, and it is in an Evernote notebook waiting to remind me how to do this in the future. As a test, I e-mailed that note to noheaders@pdfconvert.me, and it worked as advertised. Thanks for finding this!

Well, true, I was perhaps solving a problem that did not yet exist. Sharing static notes by e-mail would in fact not be a bad substitute for sharing as PDF, assuming the recipient can get the e-mail. What would be really great would be if there were a service you could e-mail a note or other document to, and they would e-mail you back a PDF! I looked around, but didn't find one.

Except that for many e-mail addresses it doesn't work. The issue in this thread applies to the Android app as well:

This is an old thread with a lot of suggestions, many of them apparently promos for people's apps, not real advice for Evernote. What specifically has happened, and what have you tried so far?

BTW, if anyone's interested, Evernote did in fact implement what both the original poster and a subsequent commenter requested: in the Windows program, in Tools > Options > Shortcut keys, it is possible to choose to transpose the worldwide, decades-old standard key combinations Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Shift+V.

Given the huge number of people who write in RTL languages, I'm surprised they haven't fixed this more quickly. Hopefully, it will not be long. In the meantime, I've discovered a couple of things. I do sometimes write a few words in Hebrew (I don't know Arabic, so I can't test that). On my Android phone, I use a keyboard called Smart Keyboard Pro, precisely because it allows typing in a large number of languages, including RTL languages. I tried creating a new Evernote note and typing some Hebrew in it using Smart Keyboard Pro, and it typed correctly, right-to-left. Smart Keyboard Pro does include Arabic among its available languages. This might be a temporary measure that would work for some. On Windows, I don't have Hebrew or Arabic implemented at the system level, but I do have Syriac, another RTL language, and I found I was able to get correct RTL typing in an Evernote note when I selected Syriac as the language. I also use a word processor called Nota Bene, which has excellent facilities for writing both Hebrew and Arabic (though I admit I have not tested the Arabic!). When I write some Hebrew text in it and copy it to the Windows clipboard, then paste it into an Evernote note, it appears correctly formatted RTL, including word-wrap; and when I sync the note, it appears properly in Evernote on my Android phone. This might also work using RTL text created in Microsoft Word, but I'm not able to test that. So there may be some workarounds: a RTL-capable keyboard in Android, and creating RTL text in a word processor in Windows and copying and pasting into Evernote. Not really solutions, but perhaps they may help someone get some work done in EN until the fix is implemented. Of course, I don't know what would happen to notes created in these ways when the fix happens!

The original request didn't say anything about the phone app, and all the discussion has been about PCs and Macs. I hate to be an idiot, but it seems like you're raising a slightly different topic. But a very valid one. Probably the most useful place for it would be in the Android suggestions forum: https://discussion.evernote.com/forum/208-android-product-feedback/. There you can make your case, and people can vote it up if they'd like to see it implemented. I know I will.

I definitely agree that copy/paste interoperability, and overall editing tools, should be improved. But I'm curious about the statement above. I've never thought of EN as a word processor (I first learned about it from a writer who uses both EN and Scrivener, but also a dedicated word processor, as I do now). Can you point me to where they market it as such? If they do, they're clearly exaggerating.

@mattnumber, see a possible explanation here:

Hmm, OK, I was off base then. I don't have any idea, but someone here may have. You might also try shifting the discussion to the forum that deals specifically with Android issues: https://discussion.evernote.com/forum/210-android-help/. Just to be clear, this happens every time you time a word, a space, and then another word? Or is it only with certain words? Or intermittently with random words?

I wonder whether this really is an autocorrect issue. AFAIK, Evernote for Android doesn't do autocorrect on its own, but leaves it up to the keyboard app you're using. Since it's not happening globally, it may be something else. Do you by any chance use the SwiftKey keyboard? If so, it might be connected to the problems discussed here: and here:

I agree, and have voted the idea up.

@gangelo, @VivienKa, welcome to the forums. I agree that this is a much-needed feature. @gangelo, as to whether it is "the most glaring shortcoming of Evernote" ... just look around these forums a bit. You will find a very large number of items that have significant numbers of people (sometimes very annoyted people) who have identified those items as "the most glaring shortcoming of Evernote." IMHO, EN is so useful that people use it in a huge variety of ways for all sorts of tasks, meaning that what seems a blatantly obvious lack to some is as nothing to others, for whom something else is urgently needed. So, bottom line, I keep trying to remind myself that my ways of using this software will differ from other people's ways, and that others will identify important needs that I overlook. And the EN developers have to find a way to prioritize and juggle all the various needs. Also, they mess up sometimes. Also BTW, this is a user-to-user forum, so you're not directly addressing EN, though their staff do look in periodically.

@pobo, I'm afraid I don't have any concrete help to offer (I don't experience these issues, or if I do they're so infrequent that they don't cause me a serious problem). But might I suggest that, rather than adding this post to an unrelated thread, you start a new one? I think you're more likely to get some assistance, or at least suggestions, that way.

I can confirm this on a Samsung Galaxy Note S4 Edge, Evernote 7.9.5.

Does the thumbnail view available in the current Windows version improve things for you at all? There's a similar discussion going on here:

Well, here are two screenshots. The first shows 5 notes in thumbnail view, the second the same 5 in snippet view. There are differences. I just don't know how helpful they would be for the needs expressed by @GaRK2 and @mwerner2.

Does the thumbnail view available in the current Windows version improve things at all? I don't have a lot of notes with multiple images, so I'm not really able to test much myself.

@ianmurph, @ChrstnMchl -- THANKS! I normally use Smart Keyboard Pro, which is great for typing in multiple languages. It never occurred to me to try the default Samsung Keyboard, but sure enough, it works just as you describe. Only takes a moment to switch to it, so now I've got that as an option, until the day when S Pen input works directly in the Chrome-based note editor.

In the Windows version, if you right-click a misspelled word a list of alternative spellings pops up, along with options to Ignore word [temporarily] and Add to dictionary [permanently]. The same options (along with Ignore Once) are present in the full spell-check dialog. Are these options not present in the Mac version?
