Who Should Use OneNote
 Do a lot of note taking
 Want to write, store and search notes easily
 Need to integrate with Microsoft Office tools
 Share notes with others
 Take notes on multiple devices

• Looks like a digital notebook with tabs
• Extracts text from an image
• Drops files in as embedded objects
• Integrates beautifully with Microsoft
products
• If integrated with Windows, can create an
instant sticky note (Win + N)
• Tags parts of pages individually
• Includes writing and formatting tools
• Has rich collaboration features
• Exports notes in different formats
• Has simple user interface
• Saves image’s text as metadata
• More like a database – a digital file cabinet
• Clips web page intact, highlight parts of it,
specify which notebook it should go into,
add multiple tags to the clipping & reminder
• Creates, tags, and shares very quickly
• Better for collecting random information and
retrieving it later
• Mobile app more like desktop version
• Password-protect selected text in note
Conclusion: Not an “either-or” situation.
