	Jingle Keyboard  License: Freeware
	Jingle Keyboard is a unique novelty desktop program that can make your typing sound like a real typewriter (for those of us who remember REAL typewriters). The program is a simple install that that runs in the task tray, and with a single left-click toggles on or off. A right-click on the tray icon pops up a menu. Choosing the options interface shows a tabbed dialog box where preferences can be customized. In addition to typing and carriage returns, Jingle Keyboard also lets users assign sounds to the Esc and function keys, and even to mouse clicks. Users can choose from different sound schemes, including skirmish (little bangs and booms like gunfire) and bird singing. And now the program is free!

	SoundBreak  License: Freeware
	OOS, RSI, CTS... - These acronyms all hurt you, and can kill your career in these wired times. Repetitive strain injury, Occupational overuse syndrome, and Carpal tunnel syndrome are all faces of the same malaise. In layman's terms, if you use something too much, you'll damage it. For those on the coal face of the IT industry, it's endemic, and can mean losing a career when typing becomes too painful to sustain... What can you do? A good typing technique makes a huge difference. Touch typing is recommended, and you should use two hands to use a shift or control key combo. I switched to the Dvorak keyboard a while back, both to reduce finger movement, and force myself to touch type. It is a big help to take frequent 'microbreaks' every 5-15 minutes from what you are doing, move around, stretch, and give blood a chance to flow around the place. You should move your arms away from the keyboard and mouse, focus your eyes to some distant point, and relax. I wrote this program because I always get too involved in what I am working on to remember to take regular breaks (hours can pass before I remember that I should eat, or go to the toilet...). However, I found every reminder program I tried to be too frustrating and/or intrusive to use for long. What does the program do? Every 10 minutes (or whatever you set it to) the program will play a sound to remind you to have a stretch. I use a large archive of sound bites from movies and TV (www.tidalwavs.com is good) - the program picks one at random as the reminder each time to keep it interesting. The important thing is that this is not intrusive, it does not slow me down, and it works. I resent those programs that measure how much you have moved your mouse, or used your keyboard. All that expends resources that my PC and I could better use elsewhere. SoundBreak just sleeps until it is needed. Author: Leon Matthews| Date: 15-05-2001 | Size: 762 KB

	Flashpaste Lite  License: Freeware
	Bored with typing the same text over and over? Stop! Flashpaste can help! Flashpaste is a new breed of text copying utility. The Windows clipboard is enough for most computer users but writers, coders, and developers need a more powerful, easily customizable and practical tool. Flashpaste is all that, and more. Flashpaste has two key features. The first is smart text insertion. While writing e-mails or creating documents, people frequently copy and paste the same words, phrases, greetings, e-mail addresses and URLs. This is especially true for those who provide technical support via e-mail, because most questions have been asked and answered numerous times before. Flashpaste is also a handy tool for web developers or web designers to easily copy and paste repeated strings of HTML code. How does it work? With Flashpaste, a user "programs in" frequently used addresses, e-mail text blocks, HTML codes, words, phrases and paragraphs. Then, the material can be inserted by pressing a hotkey to launch a selection list, and navigating to designated item to insert a particular phrase. Flashpaste can also be used to create macros, strings that are either replaced or processed by an application. Using macros, you can paste current time and date, insert commands that emulate pressing the Tab or Enter keys, and more. Anything else? The second key feature is clipboard history. While the standard Windows clipboard inserts only the last copied text segment, Flashpaste records all recently copied words, numbers and phrases, allowing easy reuse. The feature eliminates repeated copying and pasting, and is highly useful for software developers and writers. What can Flashpaste do for me? * Save time. * Eliminate the boring retyping of the same text over and over. * Help to avoid misprints due to errors when typing addresses or passwords.

	Ergo Romanian  License: Freeware
	Ergo Romanian is a small software application that installs and configures the optimal keyboard layout for the Romanian language. After installation, this layout is readily available from the taskbar's language indicator. Works with any standard QWERTY keyboard. The resulting layout provides fluent typing and requires virtually no training, as well as virtually no keyboard labeling. Non-Romanian letters like Q, W, Y, K, X are moved to the AltGr shift state to make space for the Romanian diacritic letters, taking advantage of the fact that each non-Romanian letter is positioned in the immediate proximity of a base letter of diacritic letters. What's New in v.2.0  1. Now there are two layouts: ER1 and ER2 (both are installed and configured).  2. ER2 has comma S,s, and comma T,t, (comma instead of cedilla).  3. Both ER1 and ER2 have now the following "hidden" additions:   3.1. The ' – ' and ' — ' characters are available on the 1 key under AltGr, as follows:   Type – : press AltGr + 1 ('liniut,a de dialog scurta(', sometimes used as a delimiter too)   Type — : press AltGr + Shift + 1 ('liniut,a de dialog lunga(')   (required for use with small devices where the ' ~ ' key is not present; of course, the ' – ' and ' — ' characters are still present at their default location too.)   3.2. The ' † ' character is available on the 2 key under AltGr, as follows:   Type † : press AltGr + 2   3.3. The typographical/rounded form of the apostrophe ( ’ ) is available on the apostrophe key under AltGr, as follows:   Type ’ : press AltGr + '   (added for editors where conversion of straight apostrophe to rounded one is not available.)
