We all share various content via synced databases. My three children manage their college curriculum (one in med school) exclusively with DEVONthink. It took years, but we’ve digitized everything via DEVONthink’s integration with ScanSnap. I can honestly tell you, its value was and is inestimable. I almost alway stick with Markdown because text formats are going to be readable basically forever and Markdown still gives you some formatting options.I used DEVONthink to manage completion of two dissertations. Clicking the > in the top right gives you the option of how you want to save the note. You can also add tags, labels, flags, and mark the note as read/unread. When you choose text you can enter the Title and the body of the note. ![]() Now we’re at the final way you can get content into DEVONthink To Go, from within the app by pressing the small + sign in the bottom left corner. Adding Content from Within DEVONthink To Go I’ll cover exactly what I did when I talk about capturing content with DEVONthink 3 for macOS in the coming weeks. ![]() If you’ve got a way to download a video like this, I’d love to know about it. For this I ended up back on macOS with Downie()] which meant I synced back tho 8GB video file to my DEVONthink To Go library. There has been at least one recent piece of content that I couldn’t find a way to download from iOS, the 2019 WWDC keynote. I do plan to go back and listen to the audio and add timestamps to various parts but that doesn’t always happen as I envision so I want some searchable content right away. One thing I always do to start with audio is to add any text from the page as a comment so that it’s searchable in some fashion. The download dialogue that iCab presents you with From there it’s simply a matter of sharing the file into DEVONthink To Go. Then I can long press on the audio player and iCab will give me the ability to download the file. Then I click the download button which opens up the file in another tab. Let’s use this great interview of Neil Gaiman done by Tim Ferriss as an example.įirst I view the page. Unfortunately this is another place that Safari in iOS 12 falls apart and I have to resort to iCab to be able to click said download button and get the audio file.

Importing Research Papers and Files to DEVONthink To GoĪnother thing I regularly import is PDF research papers. While DEVONthink 3 will OCR the PDF’s so that they’re searchable by DEVONthink To Go I like knowing that the comments have data to index as well just in case the OCR doesn’t happen for some reason. I capture the PDF and then copy the book description from the Amazon page and paste it into the comment on the note. To get around this I leverage iOS’s ability to make PDF’s. In Safari on iOS, you get a bit more but still nothing useful. From Firefox on iOS, you get a Bookmark no matter what you choose. I always have problems capturing pages on Amazon to file away books that sounded interesting. Now even with all these options some pages are problematic to capture.
