dt pro office ocr query

Miscellaneous Editions & Licenses
1

i am contemplating buying a scansnap1500m before the end of the month.
of course that means money for you too because i will either upgrade or buy an additional office license. there’s a rebate plan in effect until the end of june with this scanner and a certain brand of ocr software by mail.

please can you inform me about the current ocr bundle imbedded in dtproOffice? which brand is it? if I am using dt pro office should I even care about other ocr packages? (eg is this a postpone-able decision)

i have other questions too but that’s what’s on top of my mind.
i’d like to also know a bit about the server embedded in pro office as that will determine whether i buy a new license (to run devonthink on two machines simultaneously) or upgrade my existing pro license. Is the server apache based like the server built into the leopard client? Can I query data via wifi through my ipod touch if i had to?

if this is trouble to answer of course I will eventually play with the software caefully and try to figure this out. But a week is a short deadline for the rebate decision. that’s why i am bothering you about the obvious. (not too obvious beause this data isn’t on your website i did look before i asked.)
thanks in advance,
marc

DEVONthink Pro Office uses the ABBYY FineReader OCR engine. It does not feature all the bells and whistles of the full product but solid black-box OCR finetuned for document management.

It’s based on Mac OS X’s web server framework and comes with an optimized web application for the iPhone or iPod touch. See here.
