FontViewOK sorgt für schnellen Überblick auch bei großen Beständen installierter Schriften am PC. Die Freeware startet ohne jede Installation, kann also auch portabel von USB-Sticks aus genutzt werden.

Der in FontViewOK eingebaute Schriftenbetrachter zeigt nach dem Programmstart eine Liste aller vorhandener Fonts mitsamt einer Schriftprobe an. Anhand welcher Zeichenfolge FontViewOK die Vorschau anzeigen soll, kann der User selbst bestimmen, ebenso die Größe der Preview. Dabei lässt sich FontViewOK auf eine Zwei-Fenster-Ansicht umschalten. Auf diese Weise vergleicht man komfortabel zwei Schriften miteinander.

Mit FontViewOK behalten Anwender einfach und schnell den Überblick über ihre installierten Schriftarten in Windows. Auf Wunsch druckt die Freeware eine tabellarische Auflistung der Fonts sogar in Papierform aus.

Sollte die Systempartition mal zu klein werden, oder man möchte generell installierte Software oder sonstige Ordner auf einer anderen Partition/Laufwerk haben, so bekommt man mit der Freeware SymMover ein kleines einfaches Helferlein an die Hand. SymMover verschiebt ausgewählte Ordner und ersetzt diese durch symbolische Links. Für Windows liegen die Dateien dann noch an ihrem ursprünglichen Platz, so das keine Registrieeinträge geändert werden müssen, wenn man z.B. ein Spiel verschiebt. Der erste Programmstart dauert eine Weile, da die installierten Programme eingelesen werden. Im Anschluss muss man über "Optionen" ein Zielpfad angeben.

Ein erstellen eines SymLinks innerhalb eines Laufwerk bringt das Programm durcheinander und bringt natürlich auch nicht den gewünschten Effekt auf einer Partition Platz zu bekommen.

Unterstützt wird Vista und Seven

Balabolka is a feature-rich program to read text aloud from a variety of file types including DOC, RTF, PDF, ODT, FB2 and HTML. The program uses Microsoft's own Speech API 4 and 5, but lets you fine tune various voice parameters, including rate and pitch, and a substitution list can also be applied to improve the quality of the voice's articulation. The program supports customized font and background color, skins, control reading from the system tray or by the global hotkeys.

Balabolka can also save the synchronized text to external LRC files or in MP3 tags inside the audio files. When the audio file is played with players on a computer or on modern digital audio players, the text will be displayed synchronously (in the same way as lyrics for songs).

Also includes batch conversion tools from of a wide variety of document formats to audio or plain text and a file compare tool, file splitter, and screen magnification window.

Bugs resolved:

* Fixed a problem with the "please wait". It's now possible to cancel the operation, this was needed due to problems with Imgur and other plugin uploads
* Fixed a memory leak
* Fixed some problems with the IE capture
* Fixed some jira & confluence plugin bugs
* Fixed an Outlook export bug
* Fixed an issue with writing the greenshot.ini file
* Changed the installer to install only a default set of components, so Greenshot is not overloaded

Known issues:

* Greenshot general: I-Beam cursor isn't displayed correctly on the final result.
* Greenshot general: Not all hotkeys can be changed in the editor. For example the pause or the Windows key need to be modified directly in the ini.
* Greenshot editor: Rotate only rotates the bitmap, not the added elements or cursor
* Greenshot editor: The shadow and torn edges effects don't create a transparent background yet.
* Confluence Plug-in: the retrieving of the current page from firefox only works on the currently displayed Firefox tab. This is a problem since Firefox 13 and it is currently unknown if there is a fix.
* OCR Plug-in: OCR is not working on 64 bit Windows, as the MODI-OCR component from Microsoft is not available in 64 bit, in this case Greenshot should be run in 32-bit. We are working on this.
