Five Software Tools Make Your Daily Life Easier
PC World reports the following tools to speed up the performance of your daily life.
- Supercharge Excel: This program from Data Instruments Group adds handy features to Excel, improves existing ones, and makes the application easier to use. For everything from tracking down broken links to generating median values to trimming errant spaces, this software is certainly worth the price of admission–plus you can try it free for 15 days. DigDB for Excel costs $59 per year.
- TrustFax: To use the service you scan the document in the multifunction printer, upload the file to the TrustFax Web site, and send it off. It doesn’t get much easier than that. It costs $30 a year for a fax number, 50 outbound and 150 inbound fax pages, and online storage.
- SmartDraw: Sometimes you need to draw things like boxes, circles, and arrows. That’s when you turn to SmartDraw, a business-graphics app from the company of the same name. The listed price is $297. But, it gives discount from time to time.
- AskSam: This database lets you store all sorts of data, from Word documents to e-mail to Web pages, that you can retrieve with simple, free-form word searches. ‘Add Web page to AskSam’ feature works only with Internet Explorer. Standard version costs $150 and faster one cost $395.
- FolderShare: It creates a mirrored image of your most important folders - like your Favorites, Pictures, and Documents - so they’re the same on all your computers. Sharing with friends, co-workers, and family is easy when you add and update files in a shared library. Install FolderShare on all your computers, and you can access all your files from any computer on the Internet.
