Free words to songs software for linux

Word Inspector project is a GTK frontend to Dict dictionary program.

The dict program allows you to search through one or more dictionary-like reference books for a word, then displays its definition.

Word Inspector expands that by allowing you to enter words to look up more easily, easily look up words that appear in the definition for another word, and automatically look up a word in the X Windows selection.

Songs is a graphical tool to record and mix audio files. It supports an infinite number of tracks, huge audio files, and various effects.
One important motivation for Songs was the need of a recording tool under Linux. There are some already existing (see the links below), but these are too complex, too huge, eat too much memory and resources. Small machines can be used to record and mix audio files, even with a graphical interface. Songs is trying to prove it.
The recording is done directly to disk, so that with small machines, whithout much memory you can still record.
There is a full duplex mode, but full duplex is not very well handled with OSS. You dont really know if your two streams of samples are synchronized or not, and the interface provided by OSS does not help much with that. So, currently, take the full duplex mode as is. You probably will need to move by hand audio tracks to let them be synchronized.
Main features:
- Unlimited number of tracks.
- Supports WAV files (mono, stereo). Only 44.1 KHz, 16 bits files are supported, because Songs was born mainly to help me create music I could store on audio digital compact disks.
- Supports raw float files (mono, stereo). Very useful when you are mixing and that you eat too much resources. Simply put in a new file your current mix, and use this new file instead of several ones. Using float numbers gives more precision of the intermediary mixing.
- Several effects (currently not that much, but it is planned).
- Not too much memory used. All the audio files are mapped directly into the memory, so that the Linux kernel can swap them very easily. It means that if your files can exist on your disk, any size they are, they can be used with Songs (with a soft limitation of virtual memory space, which depends on your setup, and a hard limitation of 2 GB, because of the use of signed integers, which currently are 32 bits numbers).
- Use of gtk 2.0, for the good and the bad. The good is that the interface was done quickly. The bad is that the gtk documentation is far from perfect, that gtk is not bug free, that I may use it the wrong way sometimes and that it may change in the future, forcing Songs to be changed (and what if the Songs authors dont feel the need to do so, for example by lack of time?).
Enhancements:
- sc1.c sc1_gui.c:
- New files, ripping a compressor from sc1_1425 coming from swh-plugins-0.4.11.tar.gz (see http://plugin.org.uk/).The compressor was buggy, sometimes in rms_env_process
- r->sum was negative, leading to NaN for the sqrt stuff.
- pan/vol/pos.c: Checking return value of malloc (no, it was not done, shame !).
- various files: Fixing a realloc misusing (doing realloc(size+=32) then size+=32, which finally means size+=64 but only allocing size+32 stuff, weirdy to find).
- help_gui.c: The "About" stuff only appeared once, fixing it.
- various files: Fixing bugs those last days, forgot to feed this Changelog.

MS Word to plaintext converter is a service menue easily converts MS Word documents to plain text files. The generated text file is named *.doc.txt.

I hope it is as useful for you as it is for me.

MIME::Words is a Perl module to deal with RFC-1522 encoded words.

SYNOPSIS

Before reading further, you should see MIME::Tools to make sure that you understand where this module fits into the grand scheme of things. Go on, do it now. Ill wait.

Ready? Ok...

use MIME::Words qw(:all);

### Decode the string into another string, forgetting the charsets:
$decoded = decode_mimewords(
To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= ,
);

### Split string into array of decoded [DATA,CHARSET] pairs:
@decoded = decode_mimewords(
To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= ,
);

### Encode a single unsafe word:
$encoded = encode_mimeword("xABFranxE7oisxBB");

### Encode a string, trying to find the unsafe words inside it:
$encoded = encode_mimewords("Me and xABFranxE7oisxBB in town");

Fellow Americans, you probably wont know what the hell this module is for. Europeans, Russians, et al, you probably do.

For example, heres a valid MIME header you might get:

From: =?US-ASCII?Q?Keith_Moore?= < moore@cs.utk.edu>
To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= < keld@dkuug.dk>
CC: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9_?= Pirard < PIRARD@vm1.ulg.ac.be>
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?=
=?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?=
=?US-ASCII?Q?.._cool!?=

The fields basically decode to (sorry, I can only approximate the Latin characters with 7 bit sequences /o and e):

From: Keith Moore < moore@cs.utk.edu>
To: Keld J/orn Simonsen < keld@dkuug.dk>
CC: Andre Pirard < PIRARD@vm1.ulg.ac.be>
Subject: If you can read this you understand the example... cool!

Twisted Words library provides implementations of a handful of IM protocols, including IRC, MSNP8, OSCAR, TOC, and Jabber.

Twisted Words provides two separate high-level end-user features:

a multiprotocol instant messaging server
a multiprotocol instant messaging client

These are both still in the early stages of development and are not expected to work flawlessly in all configurations, however each is quite usable for a limited set of functionality. A Twisted Words server can be created with just a couple commands:

$ mktap words --irc-port 6667 --pb-port 8787 --passwd password_file --group somegroup
$ twistd -f words.tap

The Twisted Words client is named im and is usable as an IRC client, and possibly an AIM client (depending on the phase of the moon).

Low Level Functionality:

Twisted Words also includes:

Low-level protocol implementations of OSCAR (AIM and ICQ), IRC, MSN, TOC (AIM).
Jabber libraries.

Prototypes of chat server and client frameworks built on top of the protocols.

StrongBad Emails is an extension which adds the words "Previous" and "Next" to the StrongBad Emails.

Tired of having to go back to the main email page to view the next Strong Bad email cartoon? Well wake up and smell the coffee with this extension.

Memorize word Flashcard System is a Leitner Flashcard English learning tool.
Memorize Words Flashcard System was originally based on the idea of jMemorize although it is totally new written code with much more features and specially designed to learn words rather than being a general purpose flashcard program.
Main features:
- Creating multimedia cards with sounds and pictures.
- Learn cards randomly from a basket which can be created from expired, learned and unlearned cards.
- Start a time based and/or card based learning sessions.
- Automatically retrieving cards meanings from Internet (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
- Automatically retrieve any words pronunciations in a audio format from Internet.
- You can decide to include pictures from Google image search results which are of course related to the word. (Can you imagine how much this visualization feature will help you learn the new language faster and easier?!)
- It automatically retrieve English sentences from internet which have used the desired word and then shows them in your learning process as practical words usage examples.
- You can categorize the cards.
- You can set the expiration date of the cards based on their current learning position.
- This program has been written in Java and therefore could be run in any operation system with JRE 1.5+
- and much much more.
