In our post on how to analyze and visualize Evernote notes, we announced a feature coming soon that will enable Evernote users to bulk import their notes into Speak for analysis and visualization.
In this post, we share how to export individual notes and notebooks as Evernote XML format (.enex) files to prepare to import them into Speak.
Note: This feature is only available in Evernote for Mac or Windows.
Here is the dedicated page on Evernote’s website.
You can export a copy of any note and save it to your Mac or PC using one of Evernote’s desktop applications. When exporting notes, all note contents, including attachments and tags, will be saved to the Evernote XML (.enex) file. You can export an individual note, an entire notebook, or all notes at once. Notebook stacks and note links cannot be exported.
We cannot intuitively import all notes into Speak. We are not focusing on images, or bookmarks, or drawings.
We are focused on writing and communication-driven notes, whether you are communicating with yourself or others.
So, it would be valuable for you to import journals, notes from meetings, content, blogs, and emails with enough text and full sentences.
