Other Software Applications

The Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary and thesaurus which creates word maps that blossom with meanings and branch to related words. Its innovative display encourages exploration and learning. You'll understand language in a powerful new way.

Say you have a meaning in mind, like "happy." The VT helps you find related words, from "cheerful" to "euphoric." The best part is the VT works like your brain, not a paper-bound book. You'll want to explore just to see what might happen. You'll discover -- and learn -- naturally and intuitively. You'll find the right word, write more descriptively, free associate -- and gain a more precise understanding of the English language.

Audio Notetaker is a software package which enables you to make better notes through working with audio:

- Recorded using a digital recorder
- Recorded directly into Audio Notetaker
- Downloaded from the internet

Audio Notetaker can benefit anyone who finds it difficult to make notes while listening or those who find it difficult to review recordings, whether you are a student recording lectures, making recordings of meetings or interviews at work or just wanting to listen to podcasts.

How does Audio Notetaker work?

As audio is imported or recorded, phrases are visualised as a series of coloured segments in a special audio pane displayed next to the main note-taking pane. This representation allows for easy navigation, labelling and editing of the audio. In fact, you can select, copy, cut and paste the audio in exactly the same way as you can the text. You can then split the recording into sections to make it easier to move from topic to topic, and then tint key sections a different colour to make them stand out.
