FREE Software/Utilities I Like

I use Google desktop to search for documents/emails on my PC. It's much faster than Windows search.


I use Merriam-Webster as my online dictionary. What I like most about M-W is that it has audio recordings of the pronunciation of the word

 


I use Xenu's Link Sleuth to check for broken links in my web site


I use StatCounter to monitor traffic to my web sites.


I use Sage (within Firefox) to read news/blog feeds


I use x-rates.com for currency calculations


I use timeanddate.com to calculate world time (especially, to calculate time till conference submission deadlines :-)


I use Screen Recorder to capture screen activities into movie clips


 I use VLC media player to play movie clips. It works great with many media types, even incomplete clips.


 I use ScreenHunter to take screen snapshots. Compared to using the printscreen button, ScreenHunter can capture a part of the screen and transfer it into the clip board in JPG format while also saving it at the same time.


 I use  ZoomIt to zoom the desktop. Particularly useful during presentations or demos when some details are too small to appear clearly in the projector.
