OneNote tries to draw in Evernote users with a migration tool
Microsoft is trying to lure users away from Evernote with a new tool that lets people migrate their notes from the startup’s note-taking service.
The Redmond-based company released a beta version of its OneNote importer tool for Windows on Friday. It allows any user to migrate their Evernote notebooks into Microsoft’s note-taking system. Users install the tool, select the notebooks they want to migrate to OneNote, and then sit back and wait while the importer works its magic.
The whole process took a little less than 15 minutes for my roughly 1,200 Evernote notes. OneNote couldn’t import a few of them, since the importer can’t handle large media attachments (like the 50MB audio files attached to some of my interview notes), or reminders in notes.
