Note that this program only detects English text. Softi FreeOCR, or rather Tesseract - the OCR motor that the program uses - only recognises English. However, you can add other languages by uploading them from the developer website and extracting the files to “the tessdata” folder which can be found within the program folder.
This is a decent attempt at a text reading program but unfortunately, it doesn't always read documents correctly and has trouble with small text. Nevertheless, it can capture the majority of a document which will save you time.

OS requirements for Softi FreeOCR:
- OS: Win2000/XP
Pros
- Saves time by turning scans into text
- Very quick and easy to use
- Reads many text types
Video calls are the main focus on Skype Portable. The program's interface has been clearly designed with video conferences on mind: it's been made wider so that video fits in perfectly with your written chat, your contact list and a toolbar to manage conversation.
The sound quality during our testing was perfect: loud and clear. Video quality was also impressive, all vivid and lag-free. There was also one nice detail, and that's the ability to see your own video image built-in on your contact's video, and you can also take a snapshot of your own image.
Other features in Skype Portable are a call quality feedback indicator, the ability to turn alerts off, the possibility to group contacts and a new feature called Video in mood, which lets you embed online videos from Metacafe and Dailymotion in your status message.
Skype Portable is just like the desktop version: clear interface design with main focus on video; crisp, clear video image and sound; easy to set up and use; and no installation required!

Google Chrome Portable 3.0.195.27 Rv2
Google Chrome Portable is still in beta version so bear in mind that you may experience some glitches and bugs although it seems pretty stable. Google Chrome Portable fits easily on a USB stick so you can take it anywhere. It features all the benefits of the main browser such one box for everything, thumbnails of your top sites and shortcuts for your apps.
When you type in the address bar you get suggestions for web pages and you can access your favorite pages very quickly from any tab via the top thumbnails feature. And like the main version, if one tab crashes, the browser still keeps going because each one works independently - a great little feature that's typically Google and should be taken up by all browsers as standard. In addition, Google Chrome Portable gives you plenty of options for shortcuts to your favorite web apps such as Google Reader to speed up your surfing.
If you've been blown away by Google Chrome and don't want to leave home without it, put Google Chrome Portable on your memory stick now.

WinUHA 2.0 RC1
WinUHA provides a graphical interface for UHARC, a command-line application, which is proven to have the best compression ratio around, achieving rates of 10-20 percent better than RAR or ZIP. The original version is very slow and has no graphical interface, which prompted this developer to open up the format to the public at large.
The program doesn’t do a bad job either, operating in a very similar way to WinZip and, aside from an annoying donation screen, allows you to get down to business pretty quickly, adding files to the archive with a single click or by dragging them into the clearly laid-out directory window.
Once you’ve clicked to compress the selected files you start to realize the power of the UHARC format. We were very impressed that the program managed to shrink down files of 11.1Mb down to 7.1Mb, compared to 9Mb when we performed the same operation in WinZip. However, this high compression ratio comes at a cost – the speed. There’s no doubt that compressing with WinUHA is significantly slower than its major rivals, and unlike WinZip, you don’t get the option of tweaking the compression ratio to speed things up.
There’s not much else more to the program than the simple process of compressing and decompressing files and you won’t find many other options, other than basic settings for changing the interface. The high compression ratios should come in handy for sending email attachments, and as the size of the files you archive increases, you'll start to notice the its real benefit.
