  1. Evernote finally restored audio recording to the desktop, but the files recorded are in the webm format which is non standard and hard to use outside of Evernote. When I record audio on an iOS device, the file format in the resulting note is m4a which I am able to open and listen to in other applications. I would like to see at least .m4a support added to the desktop version of Evernote so that the files created on my mobile device and my laptop are the same and usable outside of evernote.

  2. I had this question a few days ago, and this is what I was able to find:

    This page has all of the release notes for the V10 Mac releases: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500001700002

    This page has the keyboard shortcuts, note that they decided for some reason to mix the old shortcuts & the V10 shortcuts on the same page so there's a bunch of stuff listed that won't work in V10. You have to check the column to see which is which: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313358

    Hope this helps!

    Definitely one of the many features having been removed from V10 without a proper and convincing explanation. Bring it back, please. Or offer a valuable alternative. I've used it for spaced repetition.

    I don't know if you have an  iOS device, but if you do an alternative for Evernote + spaced repetition is the app neuracache. It supports importing notes from Evernote and the only requirement is that you format your cards via two column tables in the note. It's not on the roadmap officially but the developer has mentioned that a MacOs app may come in the future.

    I'd doubt it's an oversight as such.  The app is being (re)developed from very little in the way of features.  To avoid having to update translations each time you add a new process,  you wait until it's pretty much complete and then add translations.  An unfortunate result of a complete rebuild - though of course all languages are still available in Legacy...

    This is actually a server side issue. The person that responded to my ticket confirmed that the OCR search will only work with the language settings you have set on your account (which I had to log into the web client to change) and the only language options in the menu are pairs that include English.

    - Improve searches, especially for CJK languages.Search results have often been poor in the past, but now we are stuck with Evernote only, so you have to do better.

    +1 to this wish. I recently found out that you can only have two languages (English + one more) active at a time in search which is such an oversight. I don't understand the thinking that if someone is multilingual they're always going to want language + english instead of language + language.

  6. I think I've experienced a version of this issue. For the past two weeks i've been doing a major overhaul of my Evernote account which has involved deleting notebooks, moving notes, etc. I made most of the changes in the old web client (not 10) and the changes showed up immediately on sync in the mac client (legacy) but not on my ipad. One really odd thing is at one point I erased all of the local Evernote data and uninstalled the app before making a bunch of changes on the web. I then re-installed the app, expecting the app to pull the latest data from the server. Once I logged and my notes loaded, the data displayed was massively out of date and both the note count and the notebook list appeared to be what it was the last time I opened the iPad app before uninstalling and not what the current version was on the server. I waited five minutes and my iPad appeared to sync and eventually the note count and notebook setup on the iPad matched what was on the web.

    The only thing that makes sense to me is that there is some sort of cache between devices that has to reconcile before a sync happens. I can't think of another explanation why a freshly installed iOS version would have a note & notebook list full of things that were deleted when the server and my Mac App showed no trace of them.

    Have you thought of embedding a spreadsheet in the Evernote note
    On my Mac, the data is displayed inline

    I guess at some point when I stopped paying attention Evernote implemented this feature. I imported an XLSX file and it displays perfectly. Thank you for this tip!

    Unfortunately, my CSVs are just displaying as a regular attachment. I guess now my feature request is to have CSVs display the same way as xlsx files.

    Things get complicated when a note as text, multiple tables, merged rows/columns ....

    Totally agree, that's why I usually migrate to another tool once the tables I'm working on get really complex. I'm not interested in having EN become a spreadsheet tool, but the export to CSV would make continuing on in another app easier. I've played around with Notion a bit and when I decided it wasn't for me, the CSV export option made quick work of migrating my data out of Notion tables and into a proper spreadsheet. I'm basically looking for that same ease of use in EN.

  9. I would find it useful if when a note has a table CSV was an available export format. My main use case is that I like to organize data in tables and Evernote's table options are fairly weak so I usually brain storm in Evernote and then have to transition into something like numbers/excel to continue. It would be convenient to be able to export the note as CSV and open it in another program rather than having to copy the data from Evernote and paste it into the other program.

  10. Do you know if these trackers are new to V10 or something that has been in place for awhile? Unfortunately I just assume that everything (even the stuff I pay for) is tracking me/sending my data to third parties so this doesn't really bother me. Given the confidence with which Ian Small has thrown out usage numbers for features I'm guessing that Evernote has always included this type of stuff so that they can track how people use EN, although with the new architecture (web based) maybe they switched to stuff that's easier to see via web requests.

  11. Recently Evernote started counting the web client as a device because they consider the feature set of the web client on par with that of the desktop and mobile apps. If the web client counts as a device, I think that it should provide the same ability to export notes that the desktop versions do.

    It's far more likely that someone would use web client + mobile device than web client + desktop client and without the desktop clients this new limitation means that someone using web + mobile has no ability to make backups of their notes.

  12. I was able to raise a ticket with Evernote support and they let me know that the OCR will only work on whatever is currently selected as the language in settings (meaning max you can have English + one other language). It seems that if you want to search for additional languages you have to OCR those PDFs/JPEGs before storing them in Evernote.

  13. I read through the help docs and I found the following about Evernote's OCR:
     

    Quote

    Currently, Evernote’s OCR system can index 28 typewritten languages and 11 handwritten languages. New languages are added regularly and existing languages are optimized and improved. Users can control which language is used when indexing their data by changing the Recognition Language setting in their account’s Personal Settings

    Does anyone know if the OCR only works on the combination currently selected in your account or if it will remember past OCR scans? I took a look at the menu option in the settings and it seems that the only language options are English + X where x is the second language. I have notes that are in a variety of languages (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean) and so I'm wondering if I can select each language + english individually and have all of my docs OCR'd in the appropriate language, or if it rebuilds the OCR database from scratch when you switch and I'll only be able to have one additional language at a time.

    I tried this link but did not see any options to open a ticket (probably because my account is basic). I also cannot access the points page and I would appreciate some help in getting access to the page so that I can redeem my remaining points.

    When you sign-in into Evernote Web you're automatically signed in into Web Clipper (and vice versa)

    Is there a way to disable this? I have the web clipper (and nothing else) installed on my work computer and liked the fact that a separate login was needed to access my notes via the web client since it meant that access to my computer didn't necessarily mean access to my notes. This new functionality is actually an anti-feature for me because now it means that I will have to log in and out of the web clipper every day that I use it.
