Editor review: Reviewer, 2008-12-16 10:40:00

The Family Database 2009 stores your family`s information (or business info).

Pros: This application is essentially a database interface built on top of SQLServer Express. It lets you enter and manage a range of details about people. The package is positioned to be a database of contacts of people known to your family members. However it obviously can be used as a contacts database for your business contacts equally well. The details include besides name and address other details such as birthdays and e-mail addresses as well. The data-grid view provides a consolidated view of the database. You could traverse it, after selecting the table via mouse click, with the arrow keys or the tab key. A search functionality can search out a record in the database quite easily based on data in any one field. You get a view of the records found after the search. To get back to the regular view one has to refresh the display specifically. For entering the details for any contact one moves to the forms view which has text fields for every bit of data the package can store. Edit existing records through the same view too. Calendar view shows all the birthdays coming up in a consolidated view. The last tab enables generation of license key on registration.

Cons: Multiple fields for telephone numbers to include mobile/cell numbers and fax numbers also are required. Without this itll be difficult to use this application as a business contacts diary. Similarly one would expect reminders/alarms about the birthdays to be truly useful.

Overall: The application is essentially a replacement of the family address book. It has reasonable functionality towards that end. The application rates a 3 star.

Dec.20, 2008 in Accounting Tools Leave a Comment

Automate your typing - assign keywords to frequently used phrases and AutoText will insert a common phrase or paragraph each time you type the corresponding keyword.



AutoText will store your common text fragments (email signatures, frequently used sentences, common phrases) organized in folders and quickly insert them into your documents. It is an autocomplete/autocorrect feature added to any program.



For example, type “ffr” and Auto Text will replace this keyword with a phrase “Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or comments”.

Editor review: Reviewer, 2007-09-10 06:05:00

Auto Text is an automatic typing programme which increases the speed of your typing by automatically inserting frequently used syntactical parts within your writing. It is possible to customize this program by creating a whole range of commonly used words or phrases and assigning a letter or a word to signify these phrases which then can be easily inserted into something you are writing as per requirement by referring to these keywords or letters. This can effectively reduce a whole sentence (or even a paragraph) to a couple of letters. Thus, you can assign the keyword “pr” in place of the sentence “Please reply as soon as possible” and when you type those two letters Auto Text will insert the whole sentence. Auto Text can be used for professionals who are writing similar business letters or even for individuals who want an easy way to insert their email signatures into other write-ups.
