Evernote Peek Uses iPad 2 Smart Cover To Help You Study

Note-taking platform Evernote has just released Evernote Peek, a first-of-its-kind application for the iPad 2 Smart Cover that is designed to help you study and improve your memory.

The application works in conjunction with the Smart Cover so that each time you partially lift the cover, your iPad 2 will awake and you’ll be presented with a question. Lift the cover a bit more and you can peek at the answer.

The Evernote Peek Smart Cover application is a modern interpretation on the age-old practice of memorizing study materials with notecards. Here, the notecards are replaced by your Evernote notes and your memorization skills are put to the test each time you lift your Smart Cover.

Evernote Peek connects to your Evernote account so you can select your notebooks and turn them into study guides. The application also includes a selection of Evernote-generated notebooks on study topics. These notebooks include World Capitals, Collective Nouns and Word Quiz.

When you’re ready to quiz yourself, simply select a notebook and close your Smart Cover. Then, lift it a smidgen to see your first question. When you peek at the answer, mark whether your guess was correct or incorrect, and close the cover to continue.

The application was created after Evernote’s CEO and founder Phil Libin and VP of marketing Andrew Sinkov were toying around with the iPad 2.

“Of all its features, the thing that floored us was the ingenious Smart Cover,” Sinkov says. “It didn’t seem like an accessory so much as an extension of the device. As we sat there opening and closing the cover, a question struck us, could we use the cover to control an app that would make Evernote even more useful?”

Evernote Peek is the answer to that question.
