Peter,

Zoot isn’t as difficult as it initially appears. The key to learning Zoot is the realisation that the folders in Zoot don’t contain any data, they are simply filtered views of the underlying Zoot database(s).

The other aspect to grasp is that data doesn’t have to live in Zoot for it to be searchable by Zoot, and automatically added to a Zoot database. You can also search Zoot and add data to Zoot using a couple of keystrokes from within any Program.

I have tried most of the alternatives to Zoot (most recently UltraRecall) but nothing seems to match Zoots “ease of use” at gathering data and finding that data again from a wide range of sources.

I would search this forum for comments on the programs you are interested in, as they have been discussed in detail.

Do scanner pens have built in OCR?
