Text editors, dictionaries...

[boron]

Through the time I've colected a decent "Text editors" compillation.

Spell checker (http://Spellcheck.net): spell checker, CAPITALS/small letters converter...totaly online, lightweighted, cute.

Online translators:
Babelfish (http://altavista.babelfish.com) Can translate a page in seconds (English Russian, German, Spanish...Greek, Chineese, Japanese)
This site translator (http://www.faganfinder.com/urlinfo/) (Find translate button) covers almost all European languages. Awesome. Quality is awfull, as can be expected, but good for understand some good Finnish or Arabic site...

HTML editors:
http://PSPad.com
http://www.chami.com/HTML-KIT/

Online Office:
http://THINKFREE.com Word processor, Data sheet (.xls), Presentation. This is kind of free online Office - web based.
http://ZOHO.com Great features, works slow (at least for me).

Definitions:
For quick referrence: Google: "define: word" > voila.
Online dictionary: http://Onelook.com > Go and try.

I guess I forgot a good half of all, so addons appreciated.

My favorite editor for years.

Voice recognition software review (http://www.consumersearch.com/www/software/voice-recognition-software/index.html). From $45 to $165 and beyond. No more, no more, no more typing.

I tried years ago, was dissapointed, accurracy was awful, so useless. Anyone tried them lately?

[Submerge]

I tried the Dragon Naturally Speaking program. The accuracy still isn't on par, but it has helped me type a couple papers for school. Definitely recommend rereading anything you used a voice recognition software on.

It's funny how I feel some resistance to "talk with the computer". And it's even more funny seeing people to type all those SMSs letter by letter on their phones.

[Submerge]

Yeah, I look stupid when I do it, but it is a hell of a lot faster than typing. People actually think it's cool when they see it for the first time.

[Submerge]

It's actually a lot faster to use for typing, and from my experience, people think it's pretty cool to use when they first see it.
