I really appreciate learning about Snagit from this video.

[@GenealogyGems]

Glad it was helpful!

[@katev3832]

Going to use them both ❤ Loving Snagit after learning about it in your videos. Now ready to learn Evernote!

[@male9600]

Great review! I use each for business and personal note taking. Both are easily adaptable to end use. Evernote is my combo file cabinet /junk draw. Snagit is fantastic for capturing and organizing material for quick sharing and for it's editing capabilities. Since Ancestry now has access to all media, stories, photos entered to a tree and can use it for any purpose I put such items in Evernote only.

[@GenealogyGems]

Thanks! And you said it perfectly: "Evernote is my combo file cabinet /junk draw." 😅

I use SnagIt often and find it flexible and widely useful -- thanks to you for introducing it a few years back! On the other hand, I was never able to make use of Evernote, perhaps because I didn't take the time to properly learn the software. Because I have a Microsoft 365 subscription, I use One Note for all manner of tasks, and Snagit works seamlessly with it. I also access the cloud-based One Note on my mobile devices, so that's a plus As with other commenters here, it comes down to whatever apps you're familiar with and prefer to use. Thanks for continuing to bring us great information about the technological tools available for us to do our research.

[@GenealogyGems]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. And One Note is a great alternative. 😀

[@SalonBarbette]

Wonderful video. I have both and couldnt imagine living without either one. And, as you pointed out, i use them both for much more than genealogy. I have started to explore more features of each and my fondness of these programs just keeps growing.

[@GenealogyGems]

Thank you, Lori!

[@billg167]

If I keep my research and documents in Evernote, how can that all be accessible by my family after I'm gone? I use Evernote every day and love it but not so much for genealogy because I'm not sure my family will have access after I'm gone.

[@GenealogyGems]

The good new is that as long as your family has your Evernote log in credentials they would not have to pay for a subscription in order to see all your notes. That's because Evernote doesn't have a limit on total storage, just on monthly uploads. They would be limited to accessing your account on 2 devices. Personally, I keep my downloaded genealogical document archived on my computer hard drive . I don't put them all in Evernote. Evernote is where I make research notes, clippings and record interviews. I think of it as one big Research Log. My computer is my Archive.

@@GenealogyGems Excellent! Thank you for your prompt response. You have so many wonderful resources and insights.

[@mariecarpenter3371]

I am not sure these 2 applications/programs are appropriate to be compared head to head. They both serve different functions for the most part.

[@GenealogyGems]

If you watch the video you'll see why we're comparing them, particularly for genealogists. They are apples and oranges, but sometimes to get certain functionality we have to make choices between tools.
