Looks interesting (grrrr - no, not a CRIMPer moment, please, really can't afford any more!). I use Snap2PDF for OCRing photos of docs, which also works pretty well.
Text-based workflow
9/8/2013
Yes, that's right - it's a bit old now, and in fact as I was writing about it I was reminded of another two-pane app that's actually almost identical, also supports PDF files (and indeed other file ty...

And in reply to Alexander - yes, Editorial is amazing. What's especially impressive is that you can use it as a perfectly standard Markdown-capable text editor if you want to, but if you really want t...
Text-based workflow
9/8/2013
That, alas, is how Apple makes all that lovely money - the mayfly-like lifespan of their products nowadays! Actually, that's not fair to their notebooks and desktops, but iPads are notoriously short-l...
Fired by all this enthusiasm, I've finally shelled out for iThoughts - very nice, I must say. But I was even more intrigued to find that a nice workflow has been written for exporting formatted Markdo...
Text-based workflow

There will be those who sigh heavily when they see yet another topic on text in workflows - what's it got to do with outliners, eh? - but they may change their minds (especially if they're iOS device ...
Judoom

Basically it's identical to SmartEdit, but without all the analysis goodies. Nice piece of software, but as Dr. Andus has noted, slow to launch (like SmartEdit, which clearly has precisely the same un...
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/5/2013
Hm. I can see where your confusion is coming from, and will confess that my first few encounters with CT didn't end well. Until the latest version (shortly to be superseded, as Dr. Andus has just advi...

Deffo scrumptious, then!
Back to ConnectedText
9/5/2013
Hm - it all sounds fairly scrumptious, I must say. And very outliner-y, for those who aren't yet convinced!
I'm using Markdown in a lot of iOS apps (Editorial, Day One, Notebooks, Trunk Notes, Daedal...
Back to ConnectedText
9/4/2013
Okay, I've now downloaded the very latest version of ConnectedText (fired by criticism of the latter in another thread) and have been sniffing at it with interest.
First of all, it is, of course, a f...
Better Bookmarking?
9/4/2013
Another nice feature of Priorities (aside from the free synchronisation) is the fact that you can e-mail yourself tasks. This is another factor that makes up for inadequacies in the Android interface....
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/4/2013
By "ingenious overview" (whether treelike or not), I mean, of course, "structured overview" (according to a structure defined either by the application itself or by the user's own preferences). Now I'...
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/4/2013
Sorry, I should have added to my very broad definition of an outliner that the breakdown of a "database" (for want of a better term) into segments or sections should be accompanied by some kind of cen...
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/4/2013
Hm - slightly contentious post. I think ConnectedText certainly qualifies as an outliner under the very broad criteria generally applied to the apps/solutions discussed by this group. A ConnectedText ...
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/4/2013
I've been running an iPad 2 for the past couple of years, and to be honest? Once you've reached a certain age, the Retina display (while impressive) really isn't worth the extra dosh, because you don'...
Better Bookmarking?
9/4/2013
Quite right - sorry. But hey, you can get a nice little 4th generation iPod for a mere £120 on Amazon nowadays; that could kick off a whole new world of iOS CRIMPing...
Apple's new Cloud-based iWork
9/3/2013
Those of us who've been discussing convenient cross-platform methods of transferring data, storing URLs etc. might do worse than take a look at the new Apple iCloud service, currently in beta (beta.ic...
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/3/2013
Ah, I have been dribbling over the Galaxy Note 8 (I hope you've already played with the multiwindow feature - seriously cool), but am gradually concluding that once I dip my toe into 8" tablet waters,...
Better Bookmarking?
9/3/2013
True - but come on, a couple of quid? To test it out? You know you want to!
Better Bookmarking?
9/3/2013
How well you know me, Alexander! Yes, I have been in touch with the developers, and no, they have no immediate plans for an Android version.
At first, I thought that was a killer - as you know, I use...
Better Bookmarking?
9/2/2013
If I think about it, I suppose I use it more as an Evernote replacement (including Evernote's function as a URL repository!). Notebooks preserves the look and feel of web pages better than any other c...
Better Bookmarking?
9/2/2013
Yes, this is the way I've gone, too. But for me, there's no point in a bookmarking app that isn't cross-platform. Increasingly, I gravitate to three apps:
Notebooks (by Alfons Schmid), which runs on ...
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/2/2013
Funnily enough, I was about to mention Editorial, which is by far the most accomplished and powerful Markdown editor on iOS (and there are a lot of Markdown editors on iOS!). You can use it as a very ...
Advice on research software

Also worth mentioning that FM Pro supports rich-text fields... although it doesn't import e.g. RTF with all formatting, unfortunately.
