Transfz, the free search agent that is...
Lean and Feature Filled
Quickly launch a lookup in
any online search engine or dictionary through
the Global Menu. Searches can be performed from
all applications - you are no longer bound to the
browser. Assign hotkeys directly to search engines so
that one key press can look up a term directly
online quicker than ever before. Extend the clipboard;
insert text by selecting among
the last 5-30 entries of copied text, an immense
time saver for professional/power users.
Allowing you to work faster
Basic statistics allows you
to keep a track of how much faster you work when
using Transfz. This is achieved by using a realistic
estimate on how long time you would use to conduct a
search by typing it in manually (try 9 seconds)
versus using the Global Menu of Transfz. Notice,
this estimates are conservative - especially since
they do not take into account the usage of
extensions which can yield huge time savings. Put a
program to use that will subtract from your
workload.
Extendable
Use Extensions to do any sort
of task, including text or code manipulation. A number of extensions
are already available in the default Transfz
installation. These extensions are script based and
can themselves be used as a foundation to write
virtually any
type of extension. The ext`s can call external
executable files or scripts and so
Transfz can be extended with many languages, AutoIt,
.NET, C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, PHP, and many more.
Extensions bundled
with default install include: Easily convert UPPER
case to lower case without having to do any
re-typing, Do search and replace in any editable
field (your mail application for an example) and
more.
Small and Modular
Transfz is built as a modular
application both from a user standpoint and from a
technical perspective: Options, About and Help
features are separated from the main program
which means that the
GUI and graphics do not take up system
resources.
 The modular design leads to a fast and smooth
experience of Transfz as a integrated utility (complete program is a
small executable, only ~400KB). The
basic idea here is to ultimately NOT notice the
program once you have become acquainted with its
main features.
If you donate to Transfz, half
of your donation will be used for planting trees
(one tree per $1). Having spend +12 months programming Transfz, as well
as writing bad HTML/CSS and help files, I
am very aware that the development of the information
technology we use daily has only come to see the light
due to a functional biosphere (..) Even more importantly;
unless the biosphere stays functional we can`t even keep
using the technology we have developed. So out of every
donation given to this project 50% (see
Supporting
Transfz) will go to the
Global ReLeaf Project (run by the
American
Forests Organization). Please

section of this site.
