Whenever the OCR is used for scanning the documents, they are converted into machine editable format and from there in the form of PDF files, the documents can be kept. There is a big advantage to it and that is the searching technique.

Whenever documents are stored, they may not be stored on a proper format. So when the time comes for the usage of a particular file, it takes a lot of time for searching that which is not feasible in many professions. So in modern OCR PDF package, a technique is used that is known as indexing. Here when the files are converted a search layer is formed where indexes are set for each file and that makes searching very easy.

Whenever many files have to be sent through internet, then the best possible solution is OCR PDF. All the files are scanned at a time and then they are kept in PDF format. From there they can be sent through internet at a time.

Another advantage of PDF files are that there are many techniques available in the market for compressing them. Each of the techniques is unique and makes the storage of PDF files very space saving. These documents that are scanned can also be stored in any format available but PDF files are the best format.

The proposed engine is under production as I write and will be out shortly. If you would like to be notified of its release, send in your email address at their website.

If you are reading this article…it is probable that you are at least fairly computer literate, and therefore probable that you are that lucky, lucky person in your household.

Sure, being the sole manager of your household’s music has its advantages – you have complete control of your music, you can update your own iPod whenever you want, and I suppose with some clever deviations from the truth you could loosely call yourself a DJ, a sure way to pick up girls in your local club.

However, once your mates start asking why the hell you have the latest McFly album (which you innocently downloaded for your girlfriend / sister / roommate) on your iPod…a better solution is needed.

The Proposal
If you have even a basic wireless network in your home then there is a simple solution. By using what is known as a ‘Network Attached Storage” (NAS), you can attach a hard drive to your home network, on which you can store all of your music.
When you used any of the computers in your house, they would detect the NAS as another hard drive on your computer, meaning that from any PC in the house you could:

Play music download music from the iTunes store or other (totally legal, of course) places
Create a new playlist for your iPod
Synchronise your iPod
Sound appealing? If so read on!

The Possibilities…
There are many ways to add a NAS device to your home network - the main one I will discuss here is the simplest – you buy a NAS device, problem solved. These are relatively new, especially to the home market. If you take a look at http://www.scan.co.uk/ you will see a number of them ranging from £86 to £650. None of them there are particularly bad, but personally I use the Western Digital’s MyBook series and have had no problems with them. The instructions you need to follow however will be almost identical regardless of which product you buy in the end. For more info on choosing a NAS please look at the “Choosing a NAS” section at the end of this article.

The Solution
Once you have purchased a NAS (I like that acronym…) you simply plug the Ethernet (usually yellow or blue) cable into your router or modem. If you have a PC connected to the router via Ethernet, as opposed to wirelessly, don’t worry - you don’t need to plug the NAS into the computer directly.
It is beyond the scope of this article to cover plugging the NAS to a plug – if you need help, give your household Microwave company a call…they seem to specialise in telling people how to plug things in (for legal reasons you may have to lie and say its your Microwave by the way….you could try running the term “Network Attached Storage” by them but…)

Anyway – when you power up your PC, the NAS should be pretty much plug and play – the NAS will show up as another hard drive (viewable from My Computer) or possibly a network location, depending on how it was designed.

Either way, now all you have to do is move your music to the new hard drive. First, go to iTunes, click the Advanced tab and then click “Consolidate Library” - this will simply make sure all your files are in one place (My Music for Windows by default), so if you have downloaded files to random places over the years, it will move them to My Music.

Now close iTunes and simply move or copy your music folder into it from your local drive. Once this is done, you may want to delete your local copy to save space, and so you can be sure iTunes is no longer using the ‘old’ library.

Now to add the new library to your home computers simply go to File (in iTunes of course) -> Add folder to library -> select the folder you just copied everything to.

You can now install iTunes on all PCs in your house, and link them to the NAS!

Extra: Choosing a NAS
NAS devices can be a simple “hard drive in a box with an Ethernet port bunged on the back” affair – in which case the only real factor in making a decision is getting a balance between cost and space.

I would recommend you be generous with the storage capacity – a 320gb model is little more expensive than a 160gb in most cases, and it will obviously allow for future expansion of your (totally legal) music library. In addition, you can also use it to store documents, backups etc in the future.

These basic models will typically cost between £80 and £120. If you stretch the budget a little further, you can get the excellent “Asus WL-700gE NAS Appliance” (http://www.trustedreviews.com). This is not only a NAS device, but also a router with firewall, and acts as a “media and print” server – so you can connect all your PCs wirelessly to one printer, and stream TV etc. It can even be used to download files without a computer running through the night! I have not used it myself, but it has excellent write ups.

As stated earlier in the review, if you are looking for a simple NAS box, I’d recommend the Western Digital MyBook series, but LaCie and other companies also produce good devices.

If you have an old hard drive lying about, you should be able to find an adapter to give it an Ethernet port, but by the time you have bought that and an enclosure for it, it would probably be more cost effective to just get a separate NAS device.

If you have any questions , feel free to contact me at james AT pimp-my-ipod DOT com – this is my first article here but I intend to post more and maintain my existing ones to keep them up-to-date.

Here is the news piece :

Finally folks. It’s finally here. FreeDOS 1.0 available in CD-ROM format can be downloaded at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdbasecd.iso. Shortly, the larger and more featureful ISOs will also be uploaded. If you are having trouble booting from the CD-ROM, it is recommended to use Smart Boot Manager (btmgr.sf.net), or download the FreeDOS boot floppy image at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdboot.img, which will start the installation process and then use the CD-ROM for the rest. A full floppy distro will be released at a later time.

FreeDOS 1.0 is a major milestone that has finally been released. By now, we have a stable and viable MS-DOS replacement. FreeDOS now boasts Long Filename support in several of its applications, including COMMAND.COM. FAT32 is supported by the kernel and most applications. HIMEM and EMM386 are extremely stable considering the complexity. A free CD-ROM driver is provided by a very talented programmer. Download it yourself to find out more!

The question that comes to most people is what kind of nerds still use DOS? I cannot comprehend somebody actually using a version of DOS when we are filled with GUI that gets overtaken by a new kind of GUI. If the readers here at Tech Pedia know people who actually use DOS, please share it with us.

Microsoft executive Somasegar has posted on her blog that the service pack for VS .NET is ready and available for download. Her blog reads this way :

Today I�m pleased to announce the availability of Visual Studio .NET 2003 Service Pack 1 (VS .NET 2003 SP1). For those of you unaware of the Service Pack process, the goal is to make sure that we capture and address issues with the released product and make these fixes available to you in a single deliverable. To ensure the continued stability of the product, we publish �hotfixes� and critical security updates as they become available. We also work on additional fixes discovered through broader customer and Microsoft testing. Once we have amassed a range of fixes of broad relevance to the community, we issue a service pack as a one-stop resource.

Namaste!

For those of you who didn’t understand the last word “namaste”, it is an Indian word and it is a form of greeting. You can always find more information about that Indian word on Wikipedia.
