The $400 SmartScore, from Musitek, puts together OCR, graphics, and MIDI. Now that they’re getting faster, they can also be smarter, and I particularly love when diverse technologies are married in interesting ways.
Most Fun Combination of Technologies - Believe it or not, the uses of computers have not been exhausted. Improvements over Speed Doubler include a Smart Replace that copies only changed files and a limited macro feature that types text strings in response to keyboard shortcut hotkeys.

Most Welcome Transmogrified Upgrade - Speed Doubler fans take note – Connectix has released CopyAgent, a $40 Mac OS 9-compatible program that incorporates the advanced copying and keyboard acceleration features of Speed Doubler, while dropping the alternate 68K emulator and disk caching aspects of the program.

Meanwhile, although release of their long-anticipated iListen is probably still several months away, MacSpeech was handing out free previews on CD at the show (which you can order online for $10 shipping and handling) there’s no command-and-control or correction yet, but after you train the program you can dictate into any application. Most important, when you correct an error, ViaVoice adjusts its acoustic model (previously, it adjusted only its linguistic model). IBM released ViaVoice at the previous Expo, and this time the company released the $150 ViaVoice for Macintosh, Enhanced Edition, works with USB microphones, ameliorates a number of interface infelicities, and now lets you dictate directly into a few other applications besides the supplied SpeakPad. īest Head-to-Head Combat - The age of computer speech recognition is upon us, and the thrill of the Expo for me was the competition between IBM and MacSpeech in the realm of dictation software, where the computer types as you speak. Power On hopes to ship Rewind in the fourth quarter of 2000, and although it demoed extremely well at the show, a utility that works at such a low level needs extensive reliability testing. You can even rewind past changes that make the Mac incapable of booting. Deleting files, overwriting files, virus infection, system corruption – it doesn’t matter.

Most Compelling Preview - Power On Software was showing an early version of Rewind, a utility that tracks all changes to your hard disk in the background while you work and enables you to "rewind" your hard disk (or just individual files) to some point in the past, reversing all changes no matter how serious or damaging.

Like many of the other new features and interfaces that Microsoft showed in Microsoft Office 2001 at Macworld Expo, Excel’s List Manager will appear initially in the Macintosh version of Office – even if the Windows version of Office copies it, it’s great to see the Macintosh design sensibility leading the way. Even though a database might be a better tool for the job, Excel’s built-in grid of columns and rows maps to the way people think about lists, so Microsoft added and exposed features in Excel 2001 (due in October, with the rest of the Microsoft Office 2001 suite) that make list management much easier (see the Web page below for an interface preview). When Microsoft researched how people use Excel, they found that 60 percent of users rely on the program to manage simple lists of information. But lots of people continue to use Excel for less taxing tasks, such as averaging a set of numbers or even making grid-based schedule signs.
