GrexIt Take 2

Grexit

A few weeks ago I posted a video introduction to knowledge-management application GrexIt.

Many people apparently want to know more, so here is a synopsis of what this free tool can do. GrexIt works on the principal that vital information is often custom-crafted for each client, then buried in client communications. The application attempts to solve the problem by breaking down your messages by phrase, concept, even by word, then reorganizes those elements into a searchable knowledge-base. GrexIt’s performance has been documented by such high-profile blogs as GigaOmTheNextWeb, and ReadWriteWeb. Check it out yourself and let me know if you like GrexIt.

OCR Terminal

OCR Terminal is an online application that converts

  • .pdf
  • .jpg
  • .tiff
  • images

files into searchable, editable formats such as

  • .doc
  • .xl
  • .rtf
  • .txt

Users can also choose to convert just part of a document.

The price for the service ranges from $.04 to $.09 per page (the more you use it the lower the cost per page). Up to 20 pages/month can be converted for free. The application is available for online use or can be downloaded for desktop use. Documents can be dragged and dropped into the desktop version of OCR Terminal and converted on the fly in about ½ the time it would take to convert using a conventional OCR application.
