Hi all,
Awesome software, and a great community behind it. I’m so glad to be getting away from bloatware with bloat-teams like Evernote.
But I do need some help, and I’m willing to take advice, or even hire for it. I need to save things into DTP in a uniform way. Here’s what I’m thinking.
Objective: Move uniformly-formatted content into my DevonThink Inbox from web browser, from Reeder, from iBooks,/Kindle (or just kindle) and from dead tree books. I can specify the fonts/format. Automatically tag each entry with name of publication and author when possible
Format for article notes
[Article/Book title]
By: [Article/Book: Author] [Article Date]
[All Article content]
Under score line after content
“Date published if article: [filled in]”
“Date saved: [system date upon save]”
“Article URL: [url]”
Underscore line
[Place for passages from the above I’ve highlighted]
Underscore line
My comments: [Take from text I wrote in at a prompt when I saved)
Resources that I think could be useful.
Article data like author and publication could be grabbed from this API, mercury.postlight.com/web-parser/ (when available, if it’s not availble, fine, let me fill them in myself)
Digital text from OCR’d pages from a book - could be rendered from this api? microsoft.com/cognitive-ser … vision-api (Maybe I could drop the page photos into a Dropbox folder and have a Hazel rule start the work?)
Any help at all would be received so gratefully. I’ve been going around AppleScript forums for a month trying to get help, when I should have come here.
