GnuCash (v 2.2.9) (keep track of your finances, online-banking).Avira (Personal) (Antivirus application) With Windows Defender having improved drastically, this is no longer needed these days.FileZilla (transfer files to and from server so work on them from home or wherever) (kinda got obsolete when I moved to a new employer that doesn’t have a server that I can access from home.Notepad++ (a lot better than the ordinary Windows Notepad!).

#Snagit 7.25 software
Noggle (Desktop search) – it’s not really free software but it’s free for students and academics.Abby Screenshot Reader (make screenshots and turn them into text).SnagIt ( v 7.25) (make screenshots, edit them, and mail/save them).CS-RCS (managing different versions of your documents without much hassle) There is nothing wrong with this software, but I’ve stopped using it when I moved to a new workplace.I think this is a little hidden gem that anyone analyzing talk-in-interaction should check out. It also offers a lot of analysis features for linguistic analysis but I probably wont use most of those. CLAN (v 1 11) Currently testing if this is not the best software for transcription when using transcript conventions for conversation analysis.transcriber (Transcribe recorded interviews and group discussions – with visualization of envelope of audio signal).tex4ht (Converts LaTeX documents to html or odt format).biblatex (latex package for bibliographic referencing, bound to outrun bibtex/natbib in a while).MiKTeX (v 2.9) ( LaTeX textprocessing/typesetting).
#Snagit 7.25 update
I will update this list every now and then, to add new software that I like (and which is related to my academic work). (please note that the version numbers are not necessarily the latest versions but the ones that I actually use). I have not deleted but crossed out those programs that I abandoned for some reason in order to give you an idea of my relative preferences. It’s probably not of much use to you, but it helps me to remember what my next postings should be about. I’m not sure, when I will really get down to writing more about each of these, but here’s a list with some of the programs which I am currently using (in no particular order).
