As you know DEVON Technologies have sponsored by segment on the MacReviewCast for over 6 months now, and they have just extended the agreement further. That is one reason why you will see their banner in the Sidebar. The other reason is that they have great products and the 25% discount they are offering readers of the blog is the biggest discount that they offer.
Their extension of the sponsorship coincides with the announcement that they have reintroduced scanning for flatbed and – new! – automatic document feeder (ADF) scanners.
Add to that a completely revised iPhone web application which makes it well worth checking out if you haven’t already!
Press Release
DEVONthink Pro Office 1.5.2 reintroduces scanning support for flatbed and – new! – automatic document feeder (ADF) scanners. The new scan function uses an embedded version of ExactCode’s pro-grade scan software ExactScan and supports all scanners that come with a TWAIN or an Image Capture driver. The embedded ExactScan Capture software provides many more advanced options such as file naming patterns, color correction, auto-crop and de-skew, de-screening, and optimization for black-and-white copies. The previous scan function used Apple’s Image Capture which worked fine on Mac OS X 10.4 ‘Tiger’ but was broken for third-party applications on Mac OS X 10.5 ‘Leopard’.
In addition, DEVONthink Pro Office 1.5.2 comes with a completely revised iPhone web application and adds a number of preferences options for enabling or disabling OCR for incoming files and for moving documents to the trash that have been successfully converted to a searchable PDF through OCR. Fujitsu ScanSnap Manager support now also handles ScanSnap Manager’s new preferences file format.
All four editions, DEVONthink Pro (Office) 1.5.2, DEVONthink Personal 1.9.14, and DEVONnote 1.9.14, feature a number of minor interface and performance enhancements, too. This includes better web cache management and more reliable thumbnail generation for QuickTime movies (DEVONthink only). DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office also come with improved AppleScript support. Many internal functions have been updated as well and many minor bugs and glitches have been fixed.
