Evernote Corporation has released Evernote 1.5.2, an update to its cross-platform, remembering application. Evernote allows users to easily capture information in any environment, employing various platforms, and makes the information accessible and searchable at any time, anywhere.

Evernote is a service + application available in both free and paid form. Using the desktop app, you can tag your new additions, or add small notes to them, after which they are easily searchable. Evernote's flagship feature is its ability to read text inside images using the "text-recognition" technology. It can even read handwritten notes, so, basically, all you have to do is just search for an item inside Evernote just the way you remember it.

The new Mac OS X release of Evernote, version 1.5.2 build 62233, fixes a bug that caused some notebooks created before version 1.5.1 to appear to contain no notes. The update also makes search results more consistent with the Evernote service. Included in the 1.5.2 update are also tweaks made in Evernote 1.5.1, which we didn’t have time to cover. The previous release Improved crash reporting and fixed a couple of issues that occasionally caused a note with a '<' or '&' character to fail to sync and where dragging a tag onto itself would cause a crash, respectively. Note searches are also diacritic-insenstitive now.

Evernote is available for Mac, Windows PC and several mobile platforms, including the iPhone. The Evernote iPhone client is OS 3.0-tested and, since its last update, has brought significantly faster app-launch times for capturing new notes, fixes for networking and synchronization issues for certain carriers, as well as general bug fixes and improvements.
