No More Taking Notes And Re-Typing Into Your Computer!

Iogear Digital PenIOGEAR’s Digital Scribe allows you to express your thoughts in your own handwriting, personalize messages to friends, convert your handwriting into typed text, and more! The feature I like the best is the ability to draw diagrams and save them to a file. Or even email them to someone!

When you press down on the pen, it registers whatever you write as a digital file on the receiver, which is no bigger than the standard cell phone. You then just upload it to your computer, and the bundled My Scripts Notes 2.1 optical character recognition, (OCR), software converts it to typed text.

The only drawback I see from using it, is that it must always be connected to your computer while using it.

The GPEN100C uses standard ink cartridges. As of this writing, it’s advertised on their site for $74.95. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it considering the time it’s going to save you. Especially in the business world. It wouldn’t take too many uses to see it pay for itself.

Dreaming of Different Colored Desktop Icons?

Folder MarkerOk, maybe you haven’t actually been dreaming of it. At least maybe daydreamed! Actually, to be honest with you, I never really gave it much thought until I came across this product.

The idea of having color coded file folders in your My Documents folder for instance could be pretty cool. Not to mention the organizational value. Or maybe your desk top Icons. Especially if you have some real artsy applications going on. Why do all the file folders have to be boring old manilla anyway?

The best feature of Folder Marker is that it’s FREE! Once you’ve installed the program, you can change any folder icon on the fly. Just right click on it, and choose a color coded icon from the drop down menu. You can also highlight a group of folder icons and changed them in one click of the mouse. One last cool feature I’ll mention, is that you can add up to 10 of your own icons to Folder Marker and also use them from the right click context menu.

For a full list of the features, go directly to Folder Marker and download it for FREE! Get the feeling I get excited about the FREE part?

Happy marking. Hope you like it!
