Noteliner 3.3 beta available...
1/9/2012
I've recently switched from Natara Bonsai to Noteliner as my main outliner. I still think Bonsai is pretty good and I still prefer it for some tasks but Noteliner offers some added features such as th...
Natara Bonsai 5 Desktop Edition has lots of import and export options, including OPML:

Hierarchical online web clipping service

Is there such a thing as a hierarchical online web clipping service? I'd like an online equivalent of Surfulater (exact replica would be fine :), where you can capture text or images or entire pages, ...

MindRaider + MindForger

This is more of a general point, but looking at MindRaider its interface reminds me of many other PIM (such as UltraRecall), which have a number of rectangular panes that divide the screen. While I un...
I've been doing my outlining and writing with multiple application windows across two horizontal (landscape) monitors (19" and 22") using extended display. I was happy until I saw this picture of a Ha...

Pimlical

Pimlical now has an Android app:

I used to be a huge Datebk6 fan but sadly I have no use for Android, as I've been captured by the Apple people.

Wow, that looks pretty elaborate! I'll have to try to model it in Zotero to fully grasp it. I'm surprised though that you didn't find Citavi helpful. I thought Citavi was among the more ...

I'm sorry guys but I disagree about the handwriting thing. As I said, having 5 years worth of notes in 9 notebooks with 200 pages each makes it a very ineffective medium once it comes to having to pul...
Daly,
The problem is in today's world that handwriting just creates yet another type of medium that one needs to deal with, in addition to the digital notes taken on mobile devices and notes taken on ...
Gary, thanks for the suggestion. I do in fact have the necessary equipment to do this. One thing that kept me back is the need to check the accuracy of the transcription. Inaccuracies regarding my own...
Also, the whole purpose of capturing notes of course is to eventually serve as data for a bigger project. So being able to view, review, sort, annotate, aggregate, and organise is very important. This...
Sounds like Evernote could make a scanner unnecessary, if I can just use my iPod Touch to take a snapshot, which then would be OCR-ed automatically? Generally the quotes I want to capture are rarely l...
What would be the ultimate system for taking notes from readings and then organising them (e.g. for academic projects)? It would have to be something cross-platform, not just across computer platforms...
