If you are a Windows user and already have Microsoft Office XP through 2007, chances are you already have the ability to OCR documents to get the text out of them. It’s called Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI). I’m not going to lie, what I am about to show you is not exactly the best […]
Continue readingA while ago, Evernote teased that they had a big announcement coming, and today they held an event to break the news. Their new App directory, the Evernote Trunk, is now live. Evernote has had an API for quite a while and a number of applications have had Evernote integration for some time (many of […]
Continue readingUsing the Kelly Clarkson quote was just way too easy, I know. This post is not in fact about American Idol winners, but is about Hazel, a Mac-only rules-based file management application.
