ActiveWords is a complementary user interface for Windows, acting on selected or typed text. ActiveWords gets you the closest to your work and thoughts by making every word a link.
You
already understand the meaning of 20,000 words but can figure
out less than 100 icons. You already know what you are looking
for but must remember "where it is" and fiddle
through endless menus and file structures to get to it.
ActiveWords overcomes these limitations by leveraging your
vocabulary and naming ability while integrating seamlessly
into the existing Windows interface.
With
ActiveWords, every
word on a computer is a gateway to all the
information and resources available to you. We call this new
attribute of words the Universal Hypertext Link (UHL). UHLs
are always present and are seamlessly integrated with
the existing features and mechanisms of today's user
interface.
A
Focus on Results - ActiveWords simplifies the user
interface. At present, you must first park your thought about
what you want, then think of the right tool use, then navigate
to the correct tool, then navigate to that mechanism, then
tell that mechanism what you want (if you still remember what
you want)..., then, start navigating information structures
(e.g., nested menus, web pages)... Thus, you currently
manufacture the result you seek.
With
ActiveWords, you simply call the result you desire by using
the UHL, which is a property of every word on your computer,
regardless of where you are working at the time. You want to
know the weather? Just type weather
and press the ActiveWords Key when the thought occurs to you.
Great
simplicity and productivity - With ActiveWords, you
simply select or type the word(s) related to what you want -
and press the ActiveWords key.

HOW
ACTIVEWORDS WORKS
ActiveWords links information services
or resources directly to all words on a user's computer via
Universal Hypertext Links (UHL).
All words means every word, phrases or data value, whether
typed by the user or selected (by mouse or keyboard) anywhere
and anytime.... in documents, web pages, E-mail messages,
etc. With ActiveWords, all words now have Universal Hypertext
Links.
To use a UHL, you simply select or type a word or
phrase and trigger its UHL by pressing the ActiveWords key
(any F-Key you designate). You can activate a UHL
anywhere...anytime...in any application, document or view.
UHL's automatically retrieve information or services
related to a specific word or phrase. HTML/Universal Resource
Locators (URLs) require control over the text in order to
establish a link. Universal Hypertext Links (UHLs) are
available for all the text in any document, or displayed on
the user's display.
UHL semantics, actions and rules reside in the
ActiveWords WordBase, which may be stored locally on your
computer, on your local area network, or on the Internet. By
means of the WordBase, all words and phrases have UHLs. Words
not specifically identified in the WordBase are assigned UHLs
based on rules specified in the WordBase.
Every
word, means any word or phrase up to 80 characters long
that may be selected, typed, or spoken (80 is an arbitrary
limit that can be expanded).
