OneNote – the Free tool that can help organize your life
Simply put Microsoft OneNote is a note taking application. It is included in many Office suites and available for free from this Microsoft website. It often flies under the radar even though its jammed packed with features that will keep your life organized. So what is Microsoft OneNote and why should you use it? OneNote is the hidden jewel of note taking applications. If you have a Microsoft Account you can tie OneNote to the cloud and have your notes everywhere you go. Plus you’ll never lose those little paper notes again. Here are the top 3 reasons you should be using OneNote.
#1. It works on ALL your devices
Do you have an iPad, iPhone, Android device, PC or Mac? Then your ready for OneNote. You can link your OneNote installation to a Microsoft Account and OneDrive allowing you to sync your notes across all your devices or access them from any web browser.

#2. Save anything into your Notes.
OneNote is a master organizer for your data. Save pictures, documents, screenshots, audio and video files, Excel spreadsheets, flowcharts, handwriting, and drawings. Everything is searchable with instant results. Add tags to items such as pictures to find them later with ease.
#3. Extract text from Images
One of the least known features is that OneNote can extract text from images with two simple clicks. This is known as onscreen character recognition. First, paste your image or picture into OneNote. Next, right click the picture and select “Copy Text from Picture.” Now you can paste the text into any program you’d like. The results are not always perfect but it can be a huge time-saver instead of manually typing in a page of text.
