Evernote 3.5.1.1410

Posted by Celia Walter | 14 Feb, 2010
Looking to remember an image you found? Or perhaps a helpful email link? Evernote makes this all possible, and it can be used with a range of mobile devices as well. The program works as a note-taking application as well, and everything a user does with the program is automatically synchronized to their Evernote account. Perhaps the real "killer" feature of the program is that it has optical character recognition (OCR), which allows users to search for text within stored images. This version of Evernote is compatible with computers running Windows XP and Vista or Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6. [KMG] From Scout Report

ALLPlayer 3.6 [media player] and Foxit Reader 3.0.

Posted by Celia Walter | 12 Jan, 2009
ALLPlayer 3.6
Some media players can play a few formats, but ALLPlayer does many of them one better by playing just about any format imaginable. Perhaps the most compelling feature of this latest version is that users can also watch films with embedded subtitles. This particular function works by linking up to the Opensubtitle website, which then delivers the subtitle to the player. Also, the program contains a subtitle speaker function, which allows users to hear the subtitles. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 95 and newer. [KMG] From Scout Report.

Foxit Reader 3.0
Foxit Reader was created to provide an alternative to Adobe Reader, and it seems to succeed quite nicely on all fronts. Foxit Reader allows users to draw graphics, highlight text, type text, and make notes on PDF documents, and then save the entire thing (or print it out). This version is compatible with computers running Windows Me and newer. [KMG] From Scout Report.
