Brilliant Free Utility Syncs Folder On Your PC With Google Docs

 

This is really good. It's a free program that syncs files or folders on your PC with your Google Docs account. You can use it for backup or simply to get access to your files from any PC. Even better, it's a two way sync; change a file on your PC and it instantly gets copied to Google. Change the file in Google Docs and it gets downloaded to your PC (so long as the PC is on. Otherwise it will sync when you turn it on). I liked this one so much I installed it on my personal laptop and it is working brilliantly. A genuine freeware gem.

Updated: The Best Free Security List in the World

 

Since the last time I mentioned this list over 60 new products have been added, with new updates virtually every day. Thankfully the editors have flagged the recent additions for you on the first page.
Full marks to editors Ako who originally compiled this list and his colleague J_L who helps Ako keep this extraordinary resource fully up-to-date. This list is truly one of the gems of the internet; compiled as a labor of love and made available to all free of charge. No wonder it is consistently one of the most popular pages at Gizmo's Freeware and the highest rated by our users.

This PDF to Word Converter Is Fast And Free

 

I've tried quite a few PDF to Word converters and can confidently tell you that none of them work perfectly with more complex documents. Some don't even work well with simple documents. This free converter uncovered by our Hot Finds editor is not perfect either but did a pretty decent job on several of my test documents. It's certainly worth having in your toolkit.
Indeed it's worth having several converters in your toolkit so you can see which gives the best results on a particular document. And don't forget to try the free PDF to Word converter at www.zamzar.com as well. This works as well as many of the others I've tried and has the advantage of being an online service with nothing to install.

NVDA 2011.3rc1 Released

 

NVDA 2011.3rc1 has just been released. This is a release candidate, which means that unless any critical issues are found, this will be almost identical to the final 2011.3 release.

Note that some translations may not yet be updated. They will be updated by the time of the final 2011.3 release.

Changes from beta1 to rc1:

• Updated documentation.
• Updated translations.
• NVDA no longer fails to recognise that the focus has moved when switching windows in some cases; e.g. opening a new window in Mozilla applications. (#1851)
• With mouse tracking enabled, moving the mouse over certain editable text fields (such as in Synaptics Pointing Device Settings and SpeechLab SpeakText) no longer causes the application to crash. (#672)
• NVDA no longer freezes when moving around in the system menu in Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. (#1831)
• Basic support for Design Science MathPlayer.
• NVDA now functions correctly in several about dialogs in applications distributed with Windows XP, including the About dialog in Notepad and the About Windows dialog. (#1853, #1855)
• Symbol pronunciation and character descriptions for Chinese are now reported correctly.
• If automatic language switching is disabled, NVDA's user interface language is used for symbol pronunciation and character descriptions instead of the language reported by the synthesizer. (#1861)
• Reviewing by word now works correctly in Windows Edit controls. (#1877)
• Updated eSpeak speech synthesizer to 1.45.47. (#1879)
• Moving out of an editable text field with leftArrow, upArrow or pageUp while in focus mode now correctly switches to browse mode when automatic focus mode for caret movement is enabled. (#1733)
