Convert Video, Audio, Image & Documents Online
 
No software needed to be installed on your computer for the conversion. But I am a little worried about the speed, imagine converting a 1GB video, this requires upload, conversion and download. Anyhow, this is a great idea and with the internet speed going faster each day, this site may just work out right.So basically you can convert video, audio, image or documents of from a different format to another format. I guess the most common that I will use is flv to mp3. Then for documents like pdf to doc or even docx to doc would be useful for now.

Enso

Enso (http://www.humanized.com/) is a program launcher that lets you accomplish many different tasks without having to move away from the current application. For instance, while composing an article you can invoke a Google search on a selected word or do a simple computation without interrupting the current workflow. Once installed on your system, Enso works in the background and you can invoke it anytime by pressing the ‘CapsLock' key. To accomplish a specific task, invoke Enso and type in the command relevant to it. For instance, while composing an article on Word, if you need to do a simple calculation, (say, 123*453) just type in the formula (like this: ‘123*453'), select it, invoke Enso and enter the command ‘calculate'.

IDrive

Though many types of on-line backup services are in place, the kind of solution offered by Dropbox continues to enthral savvy netizens. Besides automatically uploading files/folders kept on a specified folder in the desktop on to its server, Dropbox can sync those files/folders across multiple machines too. Now, if your storage requirements exceed Dropbox's 2GB limit or you wish to have a ‘plan B', a Dropbox-type backup/syncing solution, take a look at the service offered by IDriveSync (http://www.IDriveSync.com/). This service allows you to store your files/folders on its server and transfer them automatically to multiple PCs (the storage space is limited to 2GB for free users). To use the service, you need to create an account. To help you easily download/upload/ the files/folders and sync/share them across multiple machines, IDriveSync provides a client-software too.

After installing the client, assign a desktop folder to it and log-in to the system. Once the IDriveSync setup is ready, you can simply forget about the backing up process. Whenever you wish to keep a file on-line, just place it on the IDrive folder — the IDriveSync client working in the background will come active and immediately transfer the file to its server. IDrivesync can be accessed via Windows Explorer too. This means you can upload any file/folder on your desktop by just right-clicking on it and selecting the ‘IDriveSync' option from the menu that pops-up.

Now, if you wish to transfer your files in the IDrive server to another PC, just install IDriveSync on the second PC and log-in to your account — the files from the server will start flowing to the IDrive folder of the new machine.

Converting text image taken using mobile camera to editable test, is now made easier with the software TopOCR. This free software lets you easily convert any text image into a normal text file. All you have to do is  to make it accessible to TopOCR. When you start TopOCR, it displays two windows side-by-side — one for the image file and other for the OCR text output. Once you are satisfied with the text output, TopOCR allows you to save it as a PDF or HTML file. In addition, using the program's text-to-speech feature one can convert the OCR text output to an MP3 audio file. Of course, this feature can be used to create audio from any text file — just load the text file into the TopOCR text window and press the Text to Speech button.

So from now on you dont have to worry about losing an article you came across while on business trips.
