Searches can be limited to particular groups or tags within a database, or can be expanded to include even other databases.ĭEVONthink is one of those rare pieces of software that the more data shovedinto it, the more useful it becomes. So for example misspelled words or words improperly OCR’d can still turn up in the word search.

And, of course, in conjunction with the concordance, the entire database is completely searchable and includes fuzzy word searching.

You can imagine as an attorney how useful it can be to find all words within deposition transcripts as well as searchable text PDF files.

Then the original can be seen next to any annotations, a feature which can be usefule when working with handwritten notes that have been scanned into a PDF format such as a doctor’s chart.ĭEVONthink also provides, much like Windows case analysis software Summation or Concordance, a complete concordance of all words contained within a particular database. One of the nice things about using the RTF format is that if you are using a screen clipping software such as Skitch, Little Snapper, or, Snagit, you can drop screen clippings of particular medical records or deposition transcripts directly into the note entry. Clicking on either Analysis or the tag “credibility” would also reveal this particular entry as well as any others contained within that group or tag. In this screenshot, the entry initially created in the chronology group also exists under the tag “credibility” and the group Analysis. You can also see that the entries are sorted chronologically.  Tagging can also be added, or, the entry can be made to exist under multiple groups. Of course, links can also be generated for a specific entry and dropped into another entry for cross-reference or words can be made into links and WikiWords are also automatically recognized.

The blue underlining indicates a clickable link to return to the specific page for the quoted text. Once the new entry is created, the link to the specific PDF page can be pasted. Now, with the desired text on the clipboard, a new RTF entry can be made in the chronology. The user can then copy a page specific link for later reference back to the excerpt.

So, for example, when reviewing a large multipage PDF such as medical records or depositions, the user can copy and paste selected text into a separate note. More importantly, the built-in PDF viewer allows copying a link to the specific page you’re viewing. The PDF viewer built into DEVONthink allows annotation just as you might accomplish using Preview.

So, a series of screenshots will have to do along with highlighting a few favorite features.ĭEVONthink comes with its own built-in PDF viewer. Unfortunately, the only data currently available for display includes information that needs to be redacted. Typically, demonstrating  this type of software requires a screen cast. Although there are a few quirks, such as keyboard shortcuts which differ from the standard keyboard shortcuts in MacOS X, and a steep learning curve, the rewards for using the software are well worth the effort.  DEVONthink also offers some very sophisticated features such as a complete concordance of all words and some unique grouping and tagging capabilities.  If your litigation efforts involve building medical/fact chronologies, requires reviewing multiple forms of electronic information such as PDF files, deposition transcripts, JPEG photos, and video, then DEVONthink represents the best tool for working with that data.

 DEVONthink offers not only an adequate replacement for CaseMap, but perhaps the best software available for attorneys interested in conducting case analysis on the Mac. DEVONthink Pro: Nirvana for case analysis?Įver since switching to MacOSX there has been an empty space left by CaseMap.
