Keeping the books at home or for small businesses is a tedious task that ultimately ends up becoming an endless string of unrelated papers filled with unrelated meaningless numbers. To solve this problem, Buddi offers ease of use along with tools to kept track of the numbers of personal accounts and the home in a more organized way.

It is a program that hardly uses any resources because it is programmed in Java. In fact, you will have to install the Java virtual machine before you can use it, but by just connecting to the internet, Buddi will start the download and installation process.

Once it has been installed, it’s easy and quick to get started. You just define an account and a set of categories for income and expenses. You can edit these categories and they let you organize the money that comes in and goes out. The next step is to enter the different transactions that take place from day to day, so that the figures for income and expenses are updated. The process is simple and there are also analysis and report and graph tools that help give you a more consistent view of your accounts. You can also export the figures to file formats compatible with other finance and analysis applications. These tools are not installed by default, but you can get them easily from the webpage dedicated to Buddie plugins.

In short, it’s a program that though not a super professional tool, does help you keep track of the accounts at home or for a small business without spending a fortune on professional applications and without complicating your life with hundreds of options and parameters.

The internet is an exceptional source of knowledge. With thousands of resources within reach of the minds most hungry for information. The down side is that you can’t always access this information quickly. In a world as globalized as ours, it’s no longer unusual to depend on translation tools to browse web pages with content in even Chinese or Japanese. Or to convert units of measurement or currency if you visit British or American websites. The normal method for accessing resources for translation - of information or communication - is to copy the text to be translated or being researched and pasting it in the corresponding box on the website with the online resource in question. However, this method is complicated and is incompatible with the rapid execution of tasks on a PC.

The solution to this lack of speed is provided by Babylon, a tool that establishes a direct link between text, numbers, or entire paragraphs and internet and thousands of resources available to translate or access knowledge bases. This link involves selecting the words, numbers, or text that you want to process and then pressing a combination of keys defined by the user to open the Bablylon window with all of the results obtained from the dictionaries, glossaries, translation tools, or conversion tools defined previously. There are more than 1,300 online dictionaries and glossaries, without forgetting that it is possible to create and edit your own glossaries and dictionaries without too much effort.

The program hardly uses any system resources and responds almost instantly to user requests without being a nuisance on the system. The visual configuration can be configured, along with the combination of keys that launches Babylon or the range of repositories that you want to use as sources of information.
A program that shouldn’t be missing on the desktop of any advanced and global user of internet and technology.

Download the program at: Babylon.
