LangOver is a free tool for correcting and processing text on demand.

If you're working in a multilingual environment you might occasionally type some text, forget to use Alt+Shift, and be faced with some cryptic gibberish. Normally you might delete this, use Alt+Shift and retype it, but with LangOver you can select the text, hit F10 and it'll be fixed immediately.

Hit Shift+F10 and LangOver changes the case of your selected text from upper to lower, or vice versa.

The program will reverse text (txet esrever) if you hit F6. We're not sure we'd ever use that, but it's there if you need it.

Pressing Ctrl+G opens a browser window with the results of a search for your selected text.

Ctrl+T opens a browser window at Google Translate to translate your text.

Oddly, there's even a QR code generator. Type a URL, press Ctrl+M and a QR code of the selected text is generated and displayed.

You can customise the hotkey for some or all of these operations, and toggle LangOver on and off to avoid conflicts with other software.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to online advertising. The first is that it’s intrusive, wastes precious bandwidth and ought to be stopped or blocked at all costs. Seems logical at first glance, but think about the second school of thought: most of the content provided for free on the internet wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for advertising – if you don’t want to pay for content, then surely allowing the site in question to display advertising is the least it can expect in return? Ultimately, there’s a question of whether or not you’re effectively stealing content by blocking the very adverts that allow that content to be there in the first place. It’s a moral – and ultimately financial – argument that’s set to run and run.

AdBlock doesn’t really go with the second argument – at least not in its default state: once installed, reload any web page and you’ll see the ads have gone. All you have to do now is choose whether or not to display the icon in your taskbar and whether or not to allow Google text ads to be displayed where they appear.

If some ads continue to appear that you wish to block, or you actually want to support certain websites by allowing them to display advertisements on their pages, you can tweak these settings from inside the program’s extended configuration options, accessible by clicking the spanner icon and choosing Tools > Extensions.

Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool is a portable application which helps you find and download genuine Windows and Office ISOs.

The program supports Windows 7, 8.1, 10, 10 Insider Preview, Office 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2016.

Choose the package you need and Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool offers further options. We selected Windows 10 Insider Preview, for example, and were presented with a list of 8 recent builds, many of which were available in multiple formats: Client, Enterprise, Education Insider, Core Single Language, China Only, IOT Core.

Click the build you need, select a product language and you're presented with 32-bit (if appropriate) and 64-bit download links. These point to the genuine ISOs on the Microsoft site, not files hosted elsewhere, so it's safe to click and download them as usual.

What's new in 5.05?

- Default font "Segoe UI" for better experience on East Asian language systems
- Separated out developer downloads from Windows Insider downloads.

FireAlpaca is a powerful paint application, crammed with interesting functions and features.

At a minimum you can launch the program, choose a brush and start drawing. Preset brushes include Pen, Pencil, AirBrush, Watercolor, Leaf, Flower, Star, Eraser, Blur, Smudge and more.

Selecting any brush displays a preview and - sometimes - assorted settings you can tweak. Choose "Star", say, and you're able to adjust particle size, rotation, hue jitter, colour jitter, randomisation factors and more.

FireAlpaca isn't an image editor, but it gives you plenty of related tools for working on your picture: rotate, flip, resize, canvas size, filters, selections, and layer support to keep everything organised.

There are unusual perspective tools, including concentration lines, multiple perspective views, and the ability to snap to 3D objects, like a cube, by using 3D perspective.

The program has a number of features aimed at comic book artists, including some built-in panel layouts and templates.

There are plenty of other bonus features to explore, and FireAlpaca is surprisingly configurable. For example, an "Environment Setting" dialog has tweaks for zoom operations, coordinate systems, pen pressure detection, antialiasing, right-button operations, tablet usage, and more.

Free Video Watermark is an extremely basic tool for adding image or text watermarks to your movies.

The program's main advantage is its extreme simplicity. There are barely any options: enter some text, choose a font and colour, or open an image file, and that's essentially it. Your text or image is overlaid on a target video and exported to the folder you specify.

By default the text or image are displayed top-left, but you don't have to live with that. If you prefer your watermark centred, or bottom right, just drag it there with the mouse.

What you can't do is set the transparency of your object, a particular issue with images. They're not so much watermarks as overlays, just dropped on top of the movie.
