NOTE PROGRAMS
Welcome to a new addition to our monthly newsletter. I will
be bringing you a brief listing of freeware programs in different
categories each month. Since doing effective family history
is our goal, we should also be interested in finding tools which
will help us reach that goal. There is no reason that our
work should cost us more than it needs to. Here are several
free note programs which can aid you in being more organized in
your family history work.
1. Evernote ( http://evernote.com/
) Very helpful note program; synchronizes your notes between
computers and stores your notes online so you can get to them
anywhere you can get to the Internet; notes can be text,
images, URLs, webpages, audio, or video; has OCR indexing for
pdfs; has apps for mobile devices. [See UVTAGG DVD 281 class
taught by Don on Evernote April 2012]
2. Jarte ( http://www.jarte.com/
) Small, very fast, free text editor that handles txt and
rtf; more features than WordPad
3. PhraseExpress ( http://www.phraseexpress.com/
) Expands phrases or sentences when you type the letter code
you set
4. ResophNotes ( http://www.resoph.com/ResophNotes/Welcome.html
) Note program that acts like a clipboard extender, but
keeps your clips alphabetized
5. Notetab Lite ( http://www.notetab.com/
) Simple, free note program
6. TreePad Lite ( http://www.treepad.com/treepadfreeware/
) Note and personal information manager (PIM), uses
tree-format.
Of the above list, I use Evernote and Jarte every day,
PhraseExpress and ResophNotes regularly, and Notetab Lite
and TreePad Lite occasionally. Whichever program you decide
to use, look for one that best fits your needs.
