Answer by Stephen Prastman

Yes, but not the default way because it's not supported. Since Evernote uses MySpell, you can download the language package from Debian.


Download Debian package: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org-dictionaries/myspell-af_3.3.0-4_all.deb


Note: I've selected Afrikaans language by default.


Install 7Zip using the following link: http://www.7-zip.org/


Right click the .deb file then 7ZIP> Extract file and select a location. Inside the extracted folder you will have an archive called data. Use 7Zip and browse it, then follow the path: data.tar\.\usr\share\hunspell. You will have two files:

  • af_ZA.aff
  • af_ZA.dic

Now, copy these files to the correct directories:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\Evernote\Dict on a 64bit version
  • C:\Program Files\Evernote\Evernote\Dict on the x86 (32bit) version.

After the files are copied, go to Evernote and enable Spell Checker for the installed language. Go to Menu > Tools > Options > Language. Locate the Spelling group box. Choose the language you installed and click OK, and you now have Afrikaans language installed.

Yes, Evernote is safe to store personal data. The service is using AES 128bit encryption. All the operations inside your "account/vault" are encrypted. The data is decrypted only when you access it.


To find additional information related to data encryption, access the following website provided by the developers: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#/article/23480996

How to email notes directly to Evernote?

A
Answer by Alex Urbach

You can email your notes to the Evernote using your own email. To find the email, log-in to the Evernote account, then go to Settings and scroll down. Your email will look something like: [email protected]


To assign an email to a Notebook, append @ followed by the notebook name in the Subject line.

How can I turn my notes into calendar events?

W
Answer by William Rasmussen

There was a way to create a calendar with your notes in Evernote, but it appears the Desktop version of Evernote will delete the entries. I recommend using an add-on to make things easier.


Browse to the following page and install TuskTools. The application has all the necessary features to create calendars from your Evernote notes.

This is not a question, meant more like a forum posting. FYI, in case it happens to you.


Evernote 4.2.2.3913 for Windows, check for updates, did not find newer version online, required manual download to update. My conditions are Evernote 4.2.2.3913 under Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP2. I found newer version Evernote 4.2.3.2 available, manually downloaded and installed. Update/upgrade install required uninstalling the installed older version before install of the newer version.


(I have been using the built in update check successfully to get updates. This time Check for update reported "You already have the latest version". I did scan with Software Informer which reported newer version. I expected it was incorrect as in most cases, no newer version that applies to my setup or actually test version. But this time Software informer got it right and helped me in a case where the software's own update check did not work.)

Answer by Julia Bocchetta

Indeed, there were some issues with the Evernote client and the built-in update functionality. Luckily for you and other users, the developers fixed it. I have used Evernote since it appears and now it works normally. I use the built-in update function since it appeared ad never had any problems except the one you posted. Latest version of Evernote is now 5.8.3.6507. I can assure you that the built-in update function works as it should now.

Answer by Robert Polubinski

You can improve Evernote functionality with the help of a few tricks. Firstly, use the Getting Started guide to learn how to use it, then you can use other powerful items:

  • Web Clipper: Install the WebClipper to save all the web data directly into your Evernote account: https://evernote.com/webclipper/

  • Create notes as much as you can. The built-in search will display everything based on your input. Assign tags, notes, links, etc.

  • Use the Tags option to search rapidly through data.

  • Use Notes Link to have all the data inter-connected. Select something, then right click it and choose Copy Note Link. Paste it in another note to connect them.

Can these two programs be integrated?

R
Answer by Robert Polubinski

Although the names of the applications appear to be similar, there is actually no connection between them. They're two applications from different categories. No, it's not possible to integrate these two applications. Each one is working based on its features only.

How to scan business cards in Evernote?

R
Answer by Robert Polubinski

To scan business cards in Evernote, you need to make sure that a proper device is attached to PC. For example, Doxie will help you do this. The manufacturers provide the device and the software. Once Evernote is installed, use the device to SCAN a card. After you get the results and Evernote is installed, use the Send to Evernote option and it will be automatically sent to your account.
