Application of Evernote
Standard functionality “Extended” applications• Tasks and to do list - Shopping list• Notes and research - Barcode scanning at parties• Web pages - Book/CD/DVD inventory• Whiteboards - Knowledge repository• Business cards - Translation service• Scribbles• Snapshots
Application of Evernote• Every member has used Evernote and Tarpipe• Some still use it
General (dis) advantages of Evernote
Advantages Disadvantages• Tasks and to do list - OCR quality• Notes and research - Free account is limited• Web pages - Only in English• Whiteboards - Knowledge repository• Business cards - Translation service• Scribbles - Bugs• Snapshots - Privacy• Extended applications - Continuity
- Vendor lock in- Continuity
Conclusion:
Makes life easier but do not use as critical application.

Extended applications explored:• Shopping list-application• Barcode scanning @ parties• Book/cd/dvd inventory• Knowledge repository• Translation service DEVELOPED
Important advantages of applications:• Ease of use• Ubiquitous• Back up feature• Save of effort
Important disadvantages of applications:• No added value (more effort than traditional method)• Technical requirements• OCR quality• Data transportation costs• Upload limit
Holiday pictures
Let’s take a walk
But than…
Oh no!I’m lost!
What does it say?
Just a minute!
Trrr
Trrr
Everything ends well.What did just happen
there?
PictureThe mailDecoder
automatically mails the picture to Evernote
Evernote uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract the text from the picture and puts the text in
the TextFormatter
Information DeskBicycle ParkingOther Buildings
The text goes to the Mailer, which sends the text to the webserver for
processing
The webserver uses a translation tool to translate the text
The translation is returned by SMS to the original “from”

Workflow
Findings:
Application is very promising; no programs known with same functionality and ease of use
But..
- Tarpipe is quite buggy
- OCR quality Evernote
- 2 languages support
-Technical requirements
- Data transport costs
- Partly handwritten thus combination of mash-up and own code
Conclusion: promising but dependent on buggy third party app’s
Added value of the research:
The new combination of three applications makes an unique combination: an ubiquitous online translation service.
The explorative research around this mash-up clarified aspects which should be improved in order to create an application whichcould be fully (commercially) utilized.
Conclusion:
- Makes life easier but for now, do not use as critical application.
- Fun group project
