Evernote encrypts with keys it manages and offers passphrase encryption only for selected text. VoiceKnight encrypts every note, file and setting on your device. Evernote's AI works across your account; Oracle is off until you use it.
Which to choose
- Pick Evernote for web clipping, document scanning, search inside images and PDFs, and a long-established ecosystem.
- Pick VoiceKnight for notes only you can read. Evernote holds the keys, encrypts only text you select, and its free plan stops at 50 notes on one device.
