Copyfish puts a fish shaped button in the address bar of your browser. To use Copyfish, click on the fish icon, select the area with the text you want extracted and Copyfish opens a separate window, extracts and displays the extracted text. The overlay lets you verify the text. You can choose to copy the text to the clipboard, redo the OCR, recapture, or translate text. The translate button opens a new window showing Google Translate with your text pre-pasted so all you have to do is choose languages..............www.fox120.com

Stupid me, I was accessing Chrome not Google Calendar???
But, I finally figured it out after I put my foot in my mouth and posted the comment.
The article was published two days ago.
How are you accessing Google Calendar?
If you're using the Android app, there is no gear icon and no access to some of the settings. Changes need to made in a web browser such as Firefox or Google Chrome.
This is a screenshot from a few minutes ago of my Google Calendar in Firefox, the gear icon I refer to in the article is to the left of the "Month" box:
Thank you so much for this info! I don't have problems with unwanted invites and stuff in my Google calendar but I did change the settings anyway! thanks again!!

Cam Scanner has been removed from Google Play Store as it contained some malware. What are the other alternatives please!
Here is link to news item - https://lifehacker.com/delete-androids-malware-filled-camscanner-app-right-now-1837654923
I'm not seeing an option to go Pro or where the program offers to fix a system either in the program or on the website - I see a PayPal donation button. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place, would you point me to where the Pro option is offered?
That is great list. The information is really help. I would like to add one more good recording software that missing from this list: Acethinker screen recorder, it is a very fast light weight recording software, high performance and super quality. And it's totally free, no watermark and limitation.
I'm not aware of any software that would allow the functions of a mouse and keyboard to be carried out through voice commands. Someone here may know if anything were available.
I'm not one of those people who can navigate everything via keyboard, though I tend towards keyboard for a lot of things - for example I use the space bar to scroll down web pages instead of the page up key or a mouse. I use Tab to change fields instead of using the mouse.
Highlighting, changing windows, dialog boxes and buttons I use the mouse, unless it's a dialog box with a yes or no option - then I use the arrow keys to highlight the one I want and press enter to select it. I think I'm a mishmash of both. :)
I agree with you on the comments, often they are the most interesting and informative part of the page.
A couple of questions IIM, does this have a ribbon/pictures or good old text?
Not to go off topic, in reference to the man with too many things running in the background on W10, how many do you guys show in Windows Task Manager?
Interesting bunch of comments.
I've often thought that saying the word "control" was faster than pushing one or two keys. While I believe using the keyboard is faster by far than pointing and clicking, I still spend 99% of my time with the mouse in my clutch. The learning curve to actually totally navigate and perform by the keyboard alone is steep. I can't jump columns or to different areas of a page, give up, grab my mouse and finish what I'm trying to do.
Vocal control would be fast with the right s/ware. I use Dragon but I don't consider it a really good solution for "Controlling" s/ware. (for lack of the correct terminology) Is there something besides dictation type apps or has anything been written?
Maybe I should go back to my porn searching and not worry about it?

Same issue , New Comment...Requesting help with Windows 7 and True Key software uninstall problems. Tried the usual ways of removing it multiple times, it keeps coming back up. It has locked me out of my desktop 3 times now, wont take my password when booting up. Then a couple of days later it takes it and I am all good to go. I am trying to get into Safe Mode to delete it from my registry and it wont go into safe mode now when starting up. I am in need of some help for sure.
Hey guys, I'm just a noob android developer and I want your opinion on my app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ygravityapps.music
Thanks for your time if u choose to read this.
I used Audacity to truncate mp3 tunes/songs and assigned them to my Android Phone e.g. for my wife 1 ringtone for voice and a different ringtone for Text. Very handy. Same principle but different tunes for other key people.
Unfortunately I have just been issued with an iPhone 7plus and it does not seem to offer the option above available on Android phones.

Yes, that is a nice new feature in Win 10. I like that you can pin some items permanently to the clipboard (like this \_(ツ)_/¯ ) which replaces a 3rd party app I previously used. I just "clear all" in the "..." menu to reveal my pinned characters.
@courtenayguy, if you're using Windows 10 with October 2018 Update or newer, pressing Windows key+V shows you the Clipboard content and history, you can then paste from it.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch." Or a "free" VPN service. They all cost money to operate and then someone wants a return on their investment, too. So, they can either sell their service to customers, sell ads, or sell the harvested data about their customers, or any combination of the three. I don't mind paying for a service that I want, especially in this situation.
I've been a TSA (Gizmo's) subscriber since the early 90's and appreciate their work and hope they are richly compensated for it, somehow. I know they started doing some nonintrusive ads a while back and don't mind that one bit. I've always found their software evaluations to be spot-on and unbiased, plus very educational, along with the comments. No affiliation with anything computer, just a grateful fan.
Of possible interest to other Linux users there are a variety of clipboard managers available depending on which desktop environment your particular distro ships with. This one is for the Gnome Shell and the example shown is Zorin 15 Core. Just install the needed extension in Firefox first and then install this and other shell extensions directly from your browser. MC - Site Manager. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicator/ https://i.imgur.com/Ye5vOd0.png
I think that depends on how you work and your preferences. I like having the characters in tabs where they are sorted by type.
They are larger than the character map on a computer monitor so they are easier to see. I find it easier and faster, but that's me.
I have it bookmarked on my browser toolbar. The only issue I have is that it can't be used offline, while character map is built in.
The clipboard isn't really visible. It's like an invisible holding area. Put your cursor where you want the item you copied to appear, and paste it using either Ctrl - V or right click and paste.
There are clipboard managers that will show everything you've copied so it can be reused. The clipboard is erased if you turn off your device. Copying something new erases whatever is in the clipboard.
I keep a link to the standard Windows character map on my toolbar that allows me to add everything I need in whatever font I choose. Is this any better?
The most important feature of file management is a search function
Windows OS after Windows XP have had an inferior file search function, with no explanation or apology. As a result, searching for a particular file in a large folder is clunky and inefficient
Really I will only consider a new file manager if it has a good file search feature
Version 4.29.0.4 stopped working as of today. Same symptoms. Lastpass add-on on FF doesn't render window and stops other extensions and the whole browser from working.
Rolled back to Version 4.28.0.4 using instructions on this post and works like a charm
You're welcome. :) I like the features and the layout too. It has more options than I would normally use and the available configurations are extensive.
The version previous to this has support for XP, but they dropped it from the current list of what it runs on in this release.
Thanks for the info, it's very helpful. I hope they respond to you and do something about the evaluation issue.
And that's the beauty of software, paid or free. Not everyone works the same way or wants the same things in a program.
When you find one that works for you, it's a good fit. I'm glad you like FreeCommander XE and it has the features you want in a program.
Just tried it. Cannot believe it was a paid commercial software before. It comes not even close to FreeCommander XE. No multi tab support, no bookmarks.
My PCs are old.
I have XP in one, and W10 in the other
When using W10, they had to remove all weapons from my house in case I killed myself (way too much crap running in the background)
Thus I use XP 98% of the time.
If there are others using XP, I have good news and bad news -
- Good, The latest version 3 will install into XP\
- Bad, it says it is in evaluation mode for next month.
I will write to their support, to see if they will give us a key
I've been looking for a free dual pane browser that is similar to xplorer2 ($$) which I've used in the past, and Altap Salamander seems to fit the bill. Great set of features, but I especially like the layout and its extensive set of configuration options.
It doesn't interfere with Windows Explorer, I run them side by side simultaneously with no problems. It doesn't set itself as the default file manager or make any other changes in system settings that I'm aware of.
Thanks for this, I've been looking for a tool that does this. And BTW I had no problem with 3 or 5 GB: I downloaded 10 GB of emails with no problems (except the time it took!).
