That looks like a good program, thanks. I'll check it out.

I use capture2text
It works in everywhere. Recommended

"Bensound is pretty good. I use him a lot.

Can I recommend Louise Byrne Music too? https://louisebyrnemusic.com
I like her Celtic music.

Soundcloud is also getting popular too. Another one worth checking out."

I've been getting one or two a day especially annoying because i don't USE GC; so glad to see a quick and easy way to remove.

You are so welcome. :)

Thank you! Just made those changes. :)

MS has discontinued their MetaData Service for Win 7, as of 01-2019.

There could be several reasons for that, and I'm glad you found a work around and an alternate download site.

I tried it for hours with the same error, but was able to access it when I used the HOXX VPN

I ran into that once, reloaded the page a few minutes later and it was fine. Thanks for the Major Geeks link, it works fine, I just downloaded and installed it from there with no issues (it was uninstalled to test the Major Geeks download).

Cam Scanner has been removed from Google Play Store as it contained some malware. What are the other alternatives please!

I'm happy you like it. :)

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.

I just noticed due to severe nearsightedness the picture of the File 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?

BTW - thanks to everyone for all the KB s/cuts.

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.

Now everything is junk here. Taking it off my bookmarks. Nothing but crap and says free on many but isn't.

It's a nice app. I downloaded it right now and it is pretty robust. This music player is also good

Do the ads play while your phone is ringing? :-)

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.

"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.

Oddly enough I was just reading that article. Thanks Jojo!

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.

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?

Thanks for the information. I installed it recently and it was doing ok for a bit so I uninstalled it. It looks like this will be an ongoing hiccup.

Haven’t had a chance to use this File manager

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

No tab support, no bookmarks. Subpar to FreeCommander XE, let alone Directory Opus.

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.

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.

Thanks, Rhiannon!

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.

You're welcome, and thanks for the heads up on larger data download. :)

Can this be run in parallel with Windows Explorer, or do you have to disable / delete WE to use it?

You're welcome. :)

Nice, thank you.

Right?

Why did I bother going to school?

Thanks for this..a very handy tool to have. One thing though..it says here up to 5 GB on the free plan, but on their site, it says you only get 3 GB..thought it worth mentioning.
