There is a typo in the link, which is pointing to a non-existent strokesplus_2.7.8.1_x86.zippip, rather than to strokesplus_2.7.8.1_x86.zip

@ AndTheWolf: Thanks for the info ... and sorry for the typo.

Now at https://www.strokesplus.net/
Changelog: https://www.strokesplus.net/ChangeLog.txt

The entry's description should make clear that what's offered here is the PortableApps package. Upstream Spybot S&D v2.5 ditched XP support, and XP users are advised to stay with v2.4:

https://www.safer-networking.org/2015/spybot-2-5-compatibility/

Moreover, the upstream download page only lists v2.4 (older versions still available):

https://www.safer-networking.org/dl/

System requirements should not include Vista for v2.6
Complete listing of OS's & Compatibility are at:

https://www.safer-networking.org/about/compatibility/

Have a Happy Holiday everyone :)

Beware! Even you don't clean anything, the portable package leaves numerous traces in the system: hard to find registry keys (search also for "Safe Networking Limited") and a stubborn folder in ProgramData plus one in AppData\Roaming (unfortunately I didn't wrote down all the traces before cleaning up).

Blows my mind how stagnate NirSoft's programs become, HashMyFiles still doesn't have a way to "Delete files to Recycle Bin" or similar. And all his programs are still plagued with DPI/multi-monitor issues years after reporting about them.

@__philippe:

Fix was about "Explorer context menu" which have absolutely nothing to do with TPFC, so I dared to omit such details

@billon

Aha!…Light in the Midst of Darkness…! Ta !
That'll teach me the virtue of first double checking at the very source of any discontent…;-)

Is "Recuva v.1.53.2078" an online installer?
Upon download, it says it can install now?
I am very wary of online installers ..... and prefer not to use them.

Lexilogos (online service, but downloadable ) has currently 177 different keyboards.

Your link points to https://www.deeproot.co.uk/download.html, which does NOT contain a link to the the zip file. The link to the zip file, which "Includes all editions Extra Keys and Extra Keys Pro, both 32-bit and 64-bit", is located in https://www.deeproot.co.uk/extrakeys_downloads.html

@AndTheWolf: Updated download links. Thanks!

Although it's an image uploader with a lot of capability, I was actually most impressed by the included screen capture system. The super easy annotation and batch uploads may completely change how I do screen captures.

@billon
What a bad news! Where did you get these rumours from? I hope the rumours are not true.

For some reason 'Windows Defender smartscreen filter' blocks the download ...

Enjoy!

I've got to say that DSpeech has come a long way over the past few years. The last time I tested it the program felt like it was just a simple throwaway text reader with Microsoft voices front-end program. What I tested today had loads of features, usability, and a great interface. This contrasts a lot of other voice-to-text tools that I've been playing with, including LibreOffice and Firefox add-ons, which are fairly basic.

Very nice to see.

I'm really impressed with this program. It handles changing voices midstream (so you can create conversations) better than Balabolka (and a lot of programs can't chance voices at all.

I am having one problem: I can't get the special tags to work. The silence tag works fine, but the others appear to have no effect at all.

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you.

Looks like the project is closed. Anyone know a decent alternative (small size, multiple translation services, handy pop-up translation...)?

@nh As long as QTranslate still works, it works.
Crow Translate - https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=3046 - select text, Ctrl+Alt+E for the popup, but I find the popup to be less convenient compared to QTranslate.

I signed up just to answer this, since I was in the same situation. On the official forum, I learned that its author apparently disappeared http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=5&topic=35038

But I also learned that some people created unofficial updates like the following:
https://softoroom.org/topic82865s10.html (Webpage)
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/MrxN1u35E0AJYg (Link without redirect)

This version is the one I use now and for the moment, I have not had any problems, although I warn you, I recommend being careful before downloading files from obviously unknown sources.

(Community Edition 10/16/2023)

The new "flat" design with similar monochrome icons is a step back in usability. Normal appearance, apart from grouping of toolbar buttons, can be restored under Configuration -> Layout.

The program is a good tool for trimming old MP3 encodes without incurring further quality loss. Glitches are avoided if the MP3 is upconverted to 320 kbit beforehand with MP3Packer.

I wish it also supported common simple video soundtrack formats.

AT ITS SIZE, nothing is like this! so powerful

Its similar to AviTricks Classic for Avi editing, but for audio files. Using a 3rd "tiny" app, Avi2wav, these together are 2mb worth of just stupid levels of "professionalism"

...If your only audio editor was this little guy, you could PULL A LOT OFF

How to extract: For portability, you now have to tick the option it presents you to force it.
