Tags are also prevalent throughout DevonThink and compliment the OCR scanned documents. The fact that the feature works as well as it does is equally important to its viability in an office setting. Assuming many offices do as I do and scan important documents into a hard drive, the ability to create searchable databases of thousands of physical documents is arguably the most important feature of DevonThink. The OCR feature is huge for offices seeking to go paperless. In subsequent testing the OCR feature worked as advertised. After importing the receipt into DevonThink, the OCR feature allowed me to search for the street address of the store and the other text on the receipt as well. The iPhone sales receipt includes information such as the street address of the store where I bought the phone, information that exists only on the scanned receipt and not in the file name or tags associated with the document.
To do so, I imported my original iPhone 3G purchase receipt from 2008 into the application.

As mentioned earlier, I routinely scan important documents into my Mac so I was eager to test this feature.

A disadvantage of Devonthink is that I can't clip to it from a Windows PC, but I can clip to Raindrop and then open RD on the Mac or iPhone or iPad and then clip to Devonthink.The primary reason DevonThink can be valuable to paperless offices is its support for OCR, which translates text from scanned documents and PDFs into searchable text. I'm just beginning to learn the features of Devonthink and the Mac, and how I can use its capabilities with TB and Obsidian and Raindrop. TheBrain is my core PKM system, older than my EN notes, but I only want to put really important stuff in it, not clutter it with everyday stuff that is of current interest, and might be someday But, I find EN is somewhat slow and clunky, and the past three years of revising the code-base haven't really been much improvement, and have been a lot of bothers. Again, it's easy to drag and drop links from Evernote desktop app to Obsidian and TB. I still use Evernote for special kinds of clips, particularly screenshots, as well as some more private information. Then from either Obsidian or TB, could add as many notes as wished. I assume the same would work to drag and drop to TB. I haven't made much effort to link to other apps, but I just experimented and found that it's easy and fast to drag a link from a clip in the RD desktop app to Obsidian, and the same could be done from the RD app in a browser. I also automatically store a copy of each clip in Instapaper using an IFTTT integration. I'm using RD as a fast and easy web clipper that has a nice interface on the desktop and web apps. I do wish Apple allowed us to lengthen that pause, but if Siri cuts me off too quickly, I just speak another note which will be appended.DEVONthink adds incredible extensibility to TheBrain 12.

I’m generally using it hands free so I selected pause. The options under the dictate text command in Shortcuts allow you to have the recording end at either a pause or by pressing a button. I invoke this shortcut by saying, “Hey Siri, journal.”Īfter I speak my note, Siri responds with, “done,” or “got it.” This quickly became my ubiquitous inbox for text, replacing Drafts App which served me well for a few years. I distribute the note entries to where they need to be later. I use this multiple times during the day, and the cool thing is the text I speak is appended to my daily note. I'm also using an iOS shortcut to quickly capture and append to the last file you see in the screenshot. This is really cool and overcomes some of the current limitations of external file linking in the still-being-developed stage of TheBrain 12 mobile. The links are robust and work in both mobile and desktop versions of TheBrain 12. I use the Hook app to quickly hook DEVONthink files with markdown syntax and simply paste them into the note. The trick is doing most of my editing within DEVONthink as markdown.

Here's what that looks like the beauty of this is it opens up a whole world of possibilities for adding to my notes using iOS, PLUS it allows me to access to files stored in DEVONthink from within TheBrain 12 on both iOS and macOS. This is necessary because all of the TheBrain 12 notes for each thought are named notes.md. I use the comments field for sorting where the thought name (YYYY-MM-DD, dayofweek) is duplicated. All my daily journal notes also synchronize via DEVONthink's index function. I won't detail all the mechanics right now, but here's what is working amazingly well for me.
