Regarding the profiles concept, it would be handy, but more so if Search could also be confined to the profile selection.
But overall, I would rather that Evernote work on improving the existing capabilities - for example being able to trigger a search from within the text of a note, or links to Headers preview showing the title as the header (and not the entire note) and the text showing being the text under the header and not at the start of the whole note, and of course, more font and color choices (that will be saved globally but also per template, allow more control of what is shown and especially the order of what is shown in the navigation panel, and on and on.
I have provided all this as feedback / ideas to Evernote over the years.. I do wish they would have a way to vote on suggested changes, although I realize that does not always give a realistic view of the user community needs, but its better than not having it.
I like the idea of triggering a search from some text in a note.
Spaces can kind of do a very simple profile thing. If you search when a space is open it only searches that space similar to how it searches notebooks.
JON, you asked for the macOS keyboard shortcut to open the emojis and symbols window. The shortcut Ctrl-Command-SpaceBar opens this window. You can then double-click on any emoji or symbol and that's inserted in the window of the app you're currently writing in. If you have an Apple Magic Keyboard (the large one with the numeric keypad), there is a dedicated key that opens up that window; it's in the upper side of the section between the keyboard and the numeric keypad. There is a grouping of nine keys at the top, the left middle key has globe-like symbol 🌐, with a subscript "fn" notation on bottom. When you press this key, the emoji/symbols window is opened. Hope this helps.
Thank you. I've made a note. I have an Air and don't use it on a daily basis, only when travelling and I'm forgetting all the new shortcuts I need to learn :) Thanks.
Jon, You discuss the new text-to-voice feature now in the product roadmap. I'm not sure that I'd use this often. I agree with you that text-to-voice functionality in other apps usually has a terrible choice of voices, all of which sound robotic. But, with a good voice, there are times it would help. For example, I recently took an online driver training class, to reduce the cost of my vehicle insurance. Rather than reading all of the text, I chose to have it read to me. That was nice!
You also mentioned that your sat-nav seems passive-aggressive sometimes. And, from your description, it seems that the one you're using doesn't recognize a roundabout. If you have an iPhone , you might try Apple Maps. It recognizes roundabouts and tells you, "at the roundabout, take the second exit".
I like the way Apple maps verbal directions are relative instead of absolute. For example, if your system tells you to turn left in 1,000 feet, but there are several streets that are close together, I often had trouble knowing which to turn on. With Apple maps, it instead says something like "go through the next traffic signal, then turn left at the second one". These relative directions work much better for my brain. And the voice is good too.
Yeah. I hope they have some voices to choose from.
The mini roundabouts near me are not really roundabouts but traffic calming methods so the only way is straight on but they are round... a very strage setup. I use Waze and it usually tells me which exit and if there are potholes!
It's not good enough that they've added the text-to-voice feature, but they have to also include voices that will satisfy our likes... 🤣😎
I haven't tried this new feature. But a feature they added a while back, where EN can transcribe an audio recording, was rather disappointing due to the very restrictive size limit of the recording. I haven't tested extensively, but every time I recorded a conversation that lasted 40 minutes to an hour, the transcription add-in would choke and would advise that there is a rather small MB limit on audio files that can be transcribed.
I always mute the verbal directions. I find them very distracting, as I listen to podcasts usually and sometimes, the instructions interrupt the audio stream every few minutes. Of course, that has caused me to miss my turn on some long drives, but it's a small price to pay... 😱🤓
On the standalone satellite page for transcription, beneath the "Choose a file" prompt, it says, "Supports all image, video and audio formats, up to 100MB and 1 hour recording"

It's really hard to satisfy app users! 🤓😱

Higher limits are coming soon. Right now I think the limit is about 30MB which is not really enough for meeting. Hopefully not too far away.

The really nice thing, of course, is that it's an option. You can turn it off. I can turn it on.

From what I understand they are using the satellite site to test things before bringing it over to the app.
