DEVONthink Pro Office anyone?
Russell | Dec 5 2006
Anyone testing out the public beta for DTP Office? I downloaded it and I am playing with it a bit. The IRIS OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is pretty neat. I haven't had the chance to play with OCR software that much before, but I like it already. I can't get it to work with my Epson scanner so far, but I haven't messed with that much to see what the issue is. I threw some pictures I took of magazine articles and other printed media in and the OCR worked pretty well. Also, the e-mail archiving is a pretty neat tool. Although, I think this should be offered on their other DEVONthink models. Before I was able to archive e-mails with applescript and preserve the text contents of the e-mail. This new system in DTP Office seems to enhance the existing system by making the message look more like the original e-mail message in Mail. It just seems like the e-mail archiving is more of an upgrade of what already exists in DT and DTP. The web server function sounds neat, but I haven't had a chance to play with it. Just wondering what others think about it. I know a lot of people on this forum use DT and DTP, so I'm suprised not much has been said about the DTP Office public beta. Maybe everyone doesn't want to chance their database on beta software, which I would completely understand. Anyways... thoughts? 1 Comment
