Waarom zou je deze gids vertrouwen?
I have used Evernote daily for six years and tested every feature here. This tutorial comes from real use, not vendor screenshots.
Most people learn how to use Evernote as a place to dump tekst and stop there.
That is a waste of a tool that can run your whole system.
Deze handleiding laat je stap voor stap zien hoe je alle belangrijke functies gebruikt.
To use Evernote effectively, you need three habits: capture fast, tag well, and review weekly.
Evernote-handleiding
This How to Use Evernote tutorial walks through setup, then each feature in order, so you can build a second brain that you actually rely on.
Evernote
Keep notes, tasks, calendar events, and scanned paper in one searchable app. Evernote syncs across every device and finds text inside your images and PDFs. Start on the free version today.
Aan de slag met Evernote
Voordat je een functie kunt gebruiken, moet je eerst deze eenmalige installatie voltooien.
Het duurt ongeveer drie minuten.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Go to evernote.com and click Sign Up.
Enter your email and a password, then confirm the message in your inbox.
✓ Controlepunt: You can sign in on the web and on your phone with the same account.
Stap 2: Installeer de app
Evernote runs on web, Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
Install it on your phone and your main computer so notes sync both ways.
Here is what my own setup looks like after years of daily use:
✓ Controlepunt: The left sidebar shows Notes, Tasks, Calendar, and your notebook list.
Step 3: Build a Simple Structure
Create one notebook called “!Inbox” for everything you capture in a hurry.
Add three or four topic notebooks such as Work, Personal, and Projects.
Install the Web Clipper extension so you can save articles straight from the web.
✅ Klaar: Your account is ready and every feature below will work.
How to Create Evernote Notes
Notities lets you capture every idea, ontmoeting note, and web clip in one searchable place.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Een nieuwe notitie maken
Click the green “+ New” button in the top right corner.
Pick “Note” and start creating notes right away.
Step 2: Write and Format
Give the note a title, then write notes in the body.
Add images, checkboxes, tables, or a link to another note.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Your new note appears at the top of the notebook list.
Step 3: File and Tag It
Choose a notebook, then add tags for cross-notebook search.
Tags are descriptive words that connect related notes.
The search function reads the title, the body text, and the tags. It also reads text inside scanned images and PDFs, so a photographed receipt stays findable. It stops mattering how many notes you keep.
✅ Resultaat: A saved note that syncs to every device in seconds.
💡 Pro-tip: Use one consistent naming convention. Dated titles like “2026-03-04 Client Call” sort themselves.
Hoe Evernote-taken te gebruiken
Taken lets you turn any line of a note into trackable task management with due dates.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Add a Task Inside a Note
Type “/task” on any line, or click the checkbox icon.
Write the task text and hit enter.
Step 2: Set a Date and Reminder
Assign a due date, then switch the reminder on.
Notifications reach your phone and desktop at the same time.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The task shows a due date chip and a reminder bell.
Step 3: Open the Tasks View
Click “Tasks” in the left sidebar for every task in one list.
Recurring tasks reset automatically once marked completed.
This is where Evernote beats a paper list. The task lives inside the project note that explains it, so context and action never drift apart.
✅ Resultaat: Every open task from every note in a single view.
💡 Pro-tip: Keep habits as recurring tasks. Weekly reviews stop things from waiting in your head.
Hoe gebruik je de Evernote-kalender?
Kalender hiermee kunt u een link plaatsen notulen van de vergadering to real events so prep is ready when the call starts.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Verbind Google Agenda
Open Settings, then Calendar, then connect your account.
Approve access and pick which calendar to sync.
Step 2: Attach a Note to an Event
Open the Calendar widget and click an event.
Choose “Create note” to generate a linked meeting note.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The event title appears at the top of your new note.
Step 3: Review Before the Meeting
Open today’s date to see notes attached to each event.
Past notes stay linked for later research.
✅ Resultaat: Agenda, notes, and follow-up tasks attached to the meeting itself.
💡 Pro-tip: Add action items as tasks during the call. You will not rewrite them later.
Hoe Evernote-sjablonen te gebruiken
Sjablonen lets you reuse a note layout instead of rebuilding the same structure every week.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open de sjabloongalerij
In a blank note, click “Templates” near the toolbar.
Bladeren meeting minutes, project plan, or habit tracker layouts.
Step 2: Apply or Save Your Own
Pick a template, or build a note and save it as a template.
Name it clearly so you can find the search term later.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Your saved layout appears under the personal templates tab.
Step 3: Reuse It
Insert the template into any new note in two clicks.
Edit the copy freely without touching the original.
✅ Resultaat: Reusable note templates for meeting minutes and project updates.
💡 Pro-tip: Build one template per recurring process. Meeting notes, weekly review, and client onboarding cover most work.
Hoe Evernote Space Creator te gebruiken
Ruimte-creator lets you group notebooks and notes into a shared workspace for project management.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Create a Space
Click “Spaces” in the left sidebar, then “New Space.”
Name it after the client, team, or project.
Step 2: Add Notebooks and People
Move related notebooks into the space.
Invite teammates by email so they get easy access.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The space shows recent activity from everyone who joined.
Step 3: Pin the Important Notes
Pin the project brief to the top of the space.
Teammates leave comments directly on shared notes.
✅ Resultaat: One home for a project instead of scattered files and chat threads.
💡 Pro-tip: Give each space a pinned master note that links to the rest. It becomes a navigation hub.
Hoe gebruik je Evernote Self Organizer?
Zelforganisator lets you let Evernote suggest tags and notebooks so filing stops eating your week.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Capture Into One Inbox
Send everything to a single “!Inbox” notebook first.
Do not sort while capturing, so you stay focused on the actual work.
Step 2: Run the Organizer
Open the inbox and review the suggested tags.
Accept the ones that fit and edit the rest.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Your inbox count drops and tags appear on filed notes.
Step 3: Confirm the Move
Approve the suggested notebook for each item.
The inbox empties as notes are filed.
Think of stacks as filing cabinet drawers, notebooks as folders, and notes as pages. That mental model keeps the structure shallow and fast.
✅ Resultaat: A tidy system that you maintain in minutes, not hours.
💡 Pro-tip: Limit yourself to three or four primary notebooks. Do the granular work with tags instead.
Hoe gebruik je de AI-functie van Evernote voor tekst-naar-spraak?
AI-tekst-naar-spraak lets you listen to long notes as audio files while you commute or cook.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open Any Long Note
Pick a saved article, brief, or set of research notes.
Web clips from the Web Clipper work too.
Stap 2: Start de weergave
Open the note menu and choose “Listen to note.”
Stel de stem en afspeelsnelheid.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: An audio player bar appears at the bottom of the note.
Step 3: Keep Reading Elsewhere
Playback continues while you switch notes.
Your place is remembered when you return.
✅ Resultaat: Reading time recovered from commutes and chores.
💡 Pro-tip: Queue your saved web articles on Friday. A week of clipped posts becomes an hour of listening.
How to Use Evernote AI Transcriber
AI-transcriberen lets you turn recorded audio files into searchable text without typing a word.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Record or Upload
Tap the microphone icon to record on your phone.
Or drag an existing audio file into a note.
Stap 2: Transcriptie uitvoeren
Click “Transcribe” on the audio block.
Wait a moment while the text is generated.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The transcript sits under the audio player inside the same note.
Step 3: Clean and Tag
Fix names and numbers, then add tags.
The transcript is now part of full-text search.
✅ Resultaat: Spoken ideas stored as text you can search months later.
💡 Pro-tip: Record voice memos while walking. Transcribe them into your inbox and process them at your desk.
Hoe gebruik je de PDF-editor van Evernote?
PDF-editor lets you mark up contracts and scans without leaving your digital filing cabinet.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Attach the PDF
Drag a PDF into a note, or scan a document with your phone.
The file uploads and previews inline.
Step 2: Annotate It
Click the PDF, then “Annotate” to highlight and comment.
Add arrows, boxes, and typed notes on the page.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Your highlights stay visible in the note preview.
Step 3: Save and Search
Save the annotated copy back into the note.
Evernote reads the text inside it for future searches.
✅ Resultaat: Signed contracts and receipts stored, marked up, and findable.
💡 Pro-tip: Scan paper receipts weekly. OCR makes every amount searchable at tax time.
Evernote Pro-tips en sneltoetsen
After six years of daily use, these are the habits that matter most.
Toetsenbord sneltoetsen
| Actie | Snelkoppeling |
|---|---|
| New note | Ctrl / Cmd + N |
| Snel zoeken | Ctrl / Cmd + Q |
| Insert a task | Type /task |
| Clip the current web page | Alt / Option + Shift + C |
Verborgen functies die de meeste mensen over het hoofd zien
- Opgeslagen zoekopdrachten: Run a search once, then save it. Saved searches sit in the sidebar for easy access.
- Search operators: Bijvoorbeeld, tag:invoice updated:week filters by tag and date in one search term.
- Your Evernote email address: Forward mail into your account and add @NotebookName or #TagName to the subject to file it.
- Home widgets: Pin Tasks, Filtered Notes, and Recently Captured so priorities are visible when you open the app.
- Master notes: Create a hub note that links to every note in a project. It beats digging through one notebook at a time.
Those five habits do more for productivity than any new app you could install.
Veelvoorkomende fouten in Evernote die je moet vermijden
Mistake #1: Building Too Many Notebooks
❌ Fout: Twenty notebooks, one per client, and no idea where anything went.
✅ Rechts: Three or four notebooks. Use tags for the granular work across all of them.
Mistake #2: Filing While You Capture
❌ Fout: Stopping mid-idea to decide which notebook a thought belongs in.
✅ Rechts: Everything lands in !Inbox first. You process the inbox later in one sitting.
Mistake #3: Never Using Search Properly
❌ Fout: Scrolling the notebook list to find a note from last month.
✅ Rechts: Search the title, body text, and tags at once. Evernote even reads text inside your images.
Probleemoplossing voor Evernote
Problem: Notes Are Not Syncing
Oorzaak: The app lost its connection, or you are signed into a different account on one device.
Repareren: Check the sync status in the sidebar and force a manual sync. Confirm the same email is signed in everywhere. Free version accounts allow a limited number of apparaten, so remove old phones you no longer use.
Problem: Search Will Not Find an Old Note
Oorzaak: The note sits in the trash, or your search term is too narrow.
Repareren: Search again with a single word and no filters. Open Trash from the sidebar. Restored notes keep their original tags and notebook.
Problem: The App Feels Slow With Thousands of Notes
Oorzaak: A huge local database and dozens of large attached files.
Repareren: Move rarely opened archives into one archive notebook. Clear the local cache in settings, then let the gegevens rebuild overnight.
Problem: You Were Charged Unexpectedly
Oorzaak: A free trial rolled into a paid plan on its renewal date.
Repareren: Open Settings, then Billing, and check the renewal date. Cancel there before the next cycle. Your notes stay in the account either way.
