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).

Change 5: Removed deprecated CPUTEMP item. See Useful WMI Queries for a replacement.
Change 6: Removed deprecated NETWORKADAPTER item. Use NETWORKINTERFACES instead.
Change 7: The SET item is now global. That is to say it will be evaluated every cycle regardless of the active and interval options and what page is being displayed. You can view the result of the SET evaluation by setting hidden:0 and active to the page upon which you want to display it.
Change 8: The SET item is now evaluated during configuration load so that user variables may be used to store color values.
Change 9: Added total up time in seconds to UPTIME.
Change 10: Moved alarm checking into the collector. It also works out which display line contains the alarming metric.
Change 11: The threshold color change is now restricted to the display line on which the metric is appears and only column 2 text, not column 1 title text.
Change 12: Added new item LOGICALDRIVES which will replace FIXEDDISK and DISKIO.
Change 13: Added option to display the navigation buttons at the top of the display, below the logo if visible.
Change 14: Restricting config reload to DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL and DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE for DBT_DEVTYPE_VOLUME and only when FIXEDDISK is active. This completely eliminates the redraws when a drive is plugged in or removed when using the new LOGICALDRIVES. Otherwise only a DBT_CONFIGCHANGED will trigger a config reload.
Change 15: Added Mod function to expressions. Modulus returns the remainder after dividing the first argument by the second argument.
Change 16: Added unix time to DATETIME and BOOTTIME.
Change 17: Added expression parser to user variables so you can do some math when setting a variable value.
Change 18: Added expression parser to IF item so you can do some math when comparing values.

Inviska Rename is a flexible, feature-rich and easy to use batch file rename tool that allows the users to give meaningful names to groups of files and folders. It can be used for renaming music files from tags, replacing photograph names with more useful names, renaming photos from Exif tags and for other renaming tasks. The program supports Unicode and offers a wide list of renaming methods, automatic preview and undo.

Inviska Rename is a cross-platform program that runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS.

License:    GPL v2

Changelog

    Added regular expression based renaming - More advanced rename tasks can now be achieved via regular expressions. For details on enabling and using regular expressions see inviska.com/rename/instructions/index.shtml#RegEx.
    Saved renames now save case-sensitvity - The state of the case sensitive compare setting (toolbar top right) is now saved with the rename settings, and will be restored when you load a saved rename. If you don't wish this setting to be saved you can disable this feature by unchecking "Save and restore case sensitivity with saved renames" in the Rename section of the Preferences dialog.
    Saved renames now save active tab - The active rename settings tab will is now stored with saved renames, and the tab will be activated when you load a rename. This feature can be disabled by unchecking "Save and restore active tab with saved renames" in the Rename section of the Preferences dialog.
    Fixed name change highlighting - When rows in the table were selected, items in the Preview table where not correctly coloured to indicate they would be renamed because the selection colour overrode the rename highlighting colour. This has been fixed, so files to be renamed are now correctly highlighted in your chosen colour even when selected in the table.
    Adjusted row selection highlighting behaviour - The above change could lead to situations where it was hard to read the text. To compensate, the row selection behaviour has been changed so that rows in the Current Name table are always highlighted in the active widget selection colour and rows in the Preview table will always be highlighted in the inactive widget selection colour. This new behaviour feels more consistent in general since the selection colour used in the two tables is now constant.
