Evernote for Mac version 2.1 now includes a Share button in the menu bar that introduces Post to Twitter, Post to Facebook and additional sharing options.
The social posting options, replicas of the note-sharing functions added to the web client and Android app in past weeks, give users a way to invite friends to view and collaborate on notes.
Perhaps more exciting, for Evernote users with journalistic tendencies at least, is that the new release introduces a reporter-friendly feature intermixed in the mobile applications but not yet included in the desktop experience -- audio recording.
Users can now select the Audio Note microphone icon to attach audio to notes. Upon clicking the icon, a new window will appear -- pinned to the top of the note -- with audio controls that enable the note-taker to simultaneously record audio and enter text.
Audio Notes are available to all users. Free users are allocated a total note size of 25 MB (up to two hours of audio recording), while Premium users get 50 MB per note (up to four hours of audio recording).
Evernote has promised that the new release also brings with it faster search speeds and bug fixes.
