AICHE +Evernote Integration
Voice input for classic note-taking
Speak your notes into Evernote. Quick capture without keyboard friction.
The short answer: open Evernote, create or open a note, click where you want content, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak for 30-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts formatted text ready for organization.
Evernote's extensive features encourage detailed notes, but typing creates friction for quick capture. The tool's notebooks, tags, and search power depend on capturing information thoroughly, but keyboard interruptions slow the process when ideas are flowing.
- Open Evernote in your browser or desktop app.
- Create a new note or open an existing one.
- Click into the note body.
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your content naturally (example: "Meeting notes from client kickoff for the website redesign project. Discussed project timeline of 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Total budget approved at 80K with milestone payments at design completion, development halfway point, and final delivery. Team structure includes three frontend developers, one backend developer, one UI/UX designer, and one project manager. Key requirements: must integrate with their existing Salesforce CRM for lead capture, mobile-first responsive approach for 60% mobile traffic, WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards for government compliance. Design preferences: clean modern aesthetic, blue and white color scheme matching brand guidelines, avoid stock photos in favor of custom illustrations. Next steps: send detailed proposal by Friday January 19th, schedule technical discovery call for next Tuesday to review API documentation, begin wireframes after proposal approval").
- Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Content Organization to structure bullet points, and inserts the text.
Heads-up: Evernote's search works best with complete sentences and specific details. When dictating, include dates, names, and specific requirements rather than vague references. AICHE captures the detail you speak naturally, which makes your notes more searchable later.
The pro-tip: assign tags and notebooks immediately after dictating with AICHE. The transcription handles content capture; you add Evernote's organizational structure manually. This division keeps your cognitive load manageable: speak first, organize second.
Result: detailed meeting notes that took 12 minutes to type with all client requirements and action items now take 90 seconds to speak, and Evernote's organization features work better because you captured complete information rather than abbreviated notes.
Do this now: open Evernote, create a note, press your hotkey, and dictate complete documentation for one meeting, project requirement, or research topic you typically rush through typing.
