You remember flash cards, don't you?Īpple's smart covers (and some third party covers) have that clever feature whereby the iPad 2 turns off when the smart cover fully covers the screen, and turns on when it is lifted. That was just wishful thinking.Evernote, whose slogan is "Remember Everything," has come up with a brilliant app that leverages Apple's smart cover behavior to create a new take on flash cards. Penultimate is $0.99 on the App Store.Ĭorrection: This article originally stated that Evernote can transcribe audio notes. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed. Furthermore, as Zotto himself suggests, we can look forward to Penultimate apps for other devices, just like Skitch announced after Evernote acquired it. Penultimate already had saving to Evernote (as well as Dropbox), so current users of Penultimate with Evernote can look forward to even tighter integration. They just also happen to have seamless Evernote integration. On the day Evernote bought it, it announced iPhone, iPad and Android versions that totally retain the character of Skitch today. Skitch was a Mac app for taking and annotating screenshots. If you need an example of what happens when Evernote buys a beloved app, just look at last year’s acquisition of Skitch.

They wrote the CalliGrapher handwriting recognition engine. Some of Evernote’s core team members have been working on digital handwriting since they were on the Apple Newton team.
With Penultimate on board, now you’ll be able to write directly on your iPad screen and get full-text search of your notes via Evernote. If you take a photo of a piece of paper, Evernote will scan the characters on it and let you find the image in search. The most powerful features of Evernote are its abilities to help you retrieve your stuff, no matter what format you stored it in.
