DESCRIPTION

DEVONthink Pro Office — In today's world, everything is digital. From shopping receipts to important research papers, your life often fills your hard drive in the form of emails, PDFs, Word documents, multimedia files and more. Questions eventually pop up, like where do you store all of this stuff? How do you organize these very different file types, and even better, how do you find the exact file you're looking for the second you need it? It's almost as if you need a second brain just to keep your digital life straight.

DEVONthink is the solution to the digital age conundrum. It is your second brain, the one and only database for all your digital files, be they PDFs, emails, Word docs or even multimedia files. Boasting a refined artificial intelligence, DEVONthink is exceedingly flexible and adapts to your personal needs. And if the files are not digital yet, digitize them with DEVONthink Pro Office.

Use it as your document repository, your filing cabinet, your email archive, or your project organizer; DEVONthink can do it all. You can even collect and organize data from the web for your own use, enrich it with sound and movie files from your hard drive, and then export the finished product as a website or to an Apple Pages document to print, should you so desire. Or copy the content to your iPod! The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.

DEVONthink Professional Office extends DEVONthink Pro with three additional modules: Pro-grade email archiving, paper capture including optical character recognition, and integrated web sharing (search only.)

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.5.2:
  • NEW: Scan module completely replaced by ExactScan Capture, effectively restoring and extending DEVONthink Pro Office's scan abilities. The new module does not depend on Image Capture any more and works with most flatbed and auto-feeder scanners that provide a TWAIN interface.
  • NEW: Automatic configuration of ScanSnap Manager 2.x's Quick Menu.
  • NEW: Preference option for enabling and disabling OCR for incoming files from scan applications.
  • NEW: The 'Move to Trash' preference options now also applies when converting an existing document to a a searchable PDF.
  • Improved: Completely revised iPhone web application.
  • Improved: Web server detects access from an iPhone or iPod and automatically redirects to the optimized web application.
  • Improved: Mail archiving is more tolerant towards remotely stored messages and slow connections.
  • Improved: Preserves (again) the name of the document/record when converting an existing document to a searchable PDF.
  • Improved: New version of the IRIS OCR engine (11.6.4) solving a number of issues with blurred images after OCR.
  • mproved: OCR process more robust when the OCR engine crashes.
  • mproved: Web server caching mechanism.
  • Improved: OCR performance.
  • Improved: Localizations for clarity.
  • Fixed: Minor issues with ScanSnap Manager 2.0.

GLOBETROTTERDK  Is there a text highlighting app that can highlight text in other apps (Pages, TextEdit, Word, NeoOffice, Mail, etc.) like DEVONthink Pro Office can with imported text and text files?  (Version 1.5.1)

LEE123  I agree with multimago, this software is good but could be so much better. I have owned this for several years and love it but there are some things that really need some polish. I wish the developer were more ambitious with such things as interface and the little quirks that annoy everyone. For instance, type Sam into the search field. So maybe you find something but how do you get back to the main group? You can click everywhere and not get the main group to come into view.  (Version 1.5)

MULTIMAGO  This softeare is very nice, of course. However I have only few small vegative notes:

No spotlight integration

No undo

The interface is 1990style, not intuitive.

Not icons integration

...a genius in a closed box

I use EagleFiler ( http://c-command.com/eaglefiler/ ), very very Bad icon but very nice program. In EF the database is "open" (but protected), if you don't like to use more EF you can change! without problems. This is the most important thing. I want my files today but also tomorrow!, also with another software... DevonThing can do it??  (Version 1.3.3)

KPELLINGSON  Flexible and powerful enough to meet all my needs. Search and Auto-Classify features are fast and alleviate the need to laboriously tag everything (You can use the comments field to tag if needed). I have been using a version of DevonThink for nine months and have never had a crash. OCR feature in Pro Office is great value. Readris is $130, ProOffice is $150. Support is great, check out the forums, they'll even help you write scripts.   (Version 1.3.3)
