Overview
In OneNote, users can enter typed text through the keyboard, create tables, and insert images. However, unlike word processors, users can write anywhere on an almost unlimited document window simply by clicking there. In addition, users do not have to explicitly save their work - OneNote stores data automatically when the user is working.
OneNote stores information in pages organized into sections in notebooks . The interface provides an electronic version of the ringed ring binder, where users can instantly create notes and collect material from other applications. OneNote's notebook collects, organizes, and shares material that may not be published - compared to word processors and wikis, which typically target publishing in several ways. The differences show certain features and characteristics of OneNote:
- The page can be arbitrarily large
- A bitmap image can be inserted without loss of quality
- No uniform uniform layout or page structure
Users can move pages into binders and annotate with the stylus or word processor or drawing tool. Users can add embedded multimedia footage and web links.
While OneNote generally runs on laptops or desktop PCs, additional features support pen-enabled tablet computers, in environments where pen, audio, or video recordings are more appropriate than intensive keyboard usage.
OneNote integrates search and indexing features into free form graphics and audio repositories. It can search for images (for example, screenshots, embedded document scans, photos) for embedded text content. It also looks for "electronic ink" annotations as text, and phonetically searches audio recordings on text keys. It can play back audio simultaneously with the note taken during the recording.
Its multi-user capability allows offline paragraph-level editing with sync and merge later. This facilitates collaboration among working group members who are not always online. More than one person can work on the same page at the same time - using OneNote as a shared whiteboard environment.
On March 17, 2014, Microsoft released the OneNote cloud service API that allows third-party application developers to integrate services into their applications. API runs in globally available global clouds, and sends data from apps to OneDrive users. Although the service stores data in OneNote notebooks, this service can also do things like run Optical Character Recognition on images and display web pages as snapshot images.
Microsoft also announced a number of new features in OneNote that use API services:
- OneNote Clipper : A browser booklet that uses the OneNote service API and allows users to save screenshots of webpages to OneNote with links. Text in screenshot created can be searched using Optical Character Recognition.
- Email to OneNote : A feature that lets users send email to the me@onenote.com address of a predefined email ID to store stored mail content to OneNote.
