This calls on Microsoft’s web-based Translator, and translations are limited in length. Other ribbon bars provide drawing and shape placement tools, so you can make everything from sketches to flow charts a history bar that shows edits, versions, and contributions to shared notes by various authors, and a review bar with a spelling checker and even a language translation option. We found this to be a far more effective than EverNote’s mobile-oriented Document Camera, which OCRs pictures to make them searchable, but doesn’t produce exportable text. Its OCR is remarkably good, making it a handy way to extract text from non-selectable dialogue boxes, or transcribe an interesting snippet from a book or document. A right-click on the image in your note allows you to copy its text and paste it anywhere. There’s a shortcut to do the same thing on OneNote’s Insert ribbon, but this method wouldn’t work with file types associated with non-standard applications, such as TXT files associated with the Q10 text editor and PDFs associated with ABBYY PDF Transformer+.Ī final highlight of OneNote’s import options is its ability to automatically recognise text from a scanned document, screenshot or imported image. This works best through Windows’ standard print dialogue box. You can even “print” documents and images to OneNote, where you’re then prompted to select which notebook you’d like them to appear in. This makes it insanely easier to navigate around documents. The desktop app provides you with a huge space for jotting notes, with tabs available to link to other parts of the document's content. For example, on web, its functionality and functionality lack far behind its desktop counterpart. One of the frustrating things about OneNote is that its interface changes dramatically according to how you're using it. These functions are instead tied to the paid tier. This means you're unable to save your work, embed files, record audio files or place password protection on notes if you're offline. Importantly, the free much of the functionality of the free version is tied to a permanent online connection.
One of the main selling points of OneNote is its integration with Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage, although this connection is compulsory for free versions of the app.īoth free and premium tiers offer an integrated dictionary and thesaurus, as well as the ability to draw diagrams and place text anywhere on a page, which is great for creating quick mind maps or unstructured lists.
