MagicKey

By Virginia Stunkard,PACUG

MagicKey is a Windows utility program that can save you a lot of time. When filling out forms of any kind that need information such as name, phone number, e-mail address, physical address, social security number, or any other information, you need to enter the information only once. This information can be added to your document by pressing just one key, or by one click of the mouse.

Some of the main and common functions are:

SmartType MiniAppB Enter predefined captured text into any Windows application.

Numeric Calculator MiniAppB Perform basic calculationsB you can format the result any way you like (including as a fraction), and enter it into your application numerically as well as spelled out in words.

Date Calculator MiniAppB Calculate dates and date ranges using the Date Calculator. For example, you can calculate the date any number of days from today or from any reference date, or calculate the exact number of days between any two dates, even if they are years apart. This program includes a handy instant calendar. This feature was fun to play with.

Units Convertor MiniAppB Convert between all commonly-used units of length, area, volume, weight, speed, temperature, energy, and many other measurements.

Zip Code Expander MiniAppB Perform zip code expansion by entering a zip code and MagicKey gives you the City and State, ready to be put in your Windows program.

Currency Convertor MiniAppB This function is handy when you travel to other countries and need to know how to convert your money. You can convert between all major world currencies, all formatted numerically and/or spelled out in words, complete with currency symbols.

Voice FeedbackB Speak back numeric digits (and other characters, if you choose) as you type, virtually eliminating data entry errors. You will be amazed at how much this one feature helps in improving data entry accuracy and eliminating errors!

Responding to e-mails with A set responses@ in text files, you can enter them any time into your e-mail or any other application with just a few keys and without having to open any files or cutting and pasting.

As I was checking out the different functions of this program, I found it to be very fascinating. The program is easy to work with and does save time.

This program can be purchased as www.acii.com for $29.00. If also ordering a CD and printed manual, add $9.50 for shipping/handling.

Software Review: INTELLILOGIN

This is a utility program.

It is designed to manage your passwords for Internet Explorer.  The ease of installation is one of its many strong points.  It went on my computer very easily and has a very attractive tool bar within the Internet Explorer program.  This program will even import all of your existing passwords from Internet Explorer.  You simply have to remember one password and that is to activate the program.  Once the program is active, you will then have access to all your passwords, which you have stored in the program.  And they are encrypted, so they are hacker safe. 

This program will also remember log-on information.  You know those annoying online forms that ask your name, address, and last four digits of your SS#.  This software will fill in the blanks of all those types of forms.

It also has a password generator anytime you need an encrypted password for a new site.  This program will generate a strong password.  It allows the user to pick the length of the password and to use numbers and capital or lower case letters.  And any combination you can pick as little as four characters in length or as many as twelve.  They are very difficult to guess, and that’s the nice thing about this program is that you don’t have to guess.  It is all saved for you and you have easy access to it.

You can shop and browse with confidence, and no one will have access to your personal information.

This can also be used by several users, each with their own password to activate the program.

You can find this software at http://jjsoft-studio.com. They are currently running a limited-time offer of $19.95.  This is a nice program and well worth the money.  I strongly recommend this software for people who use the same user ID over and over.  Or for people who have a hard time remembering their own created passwords.
