A fine choice if you want to share your screen recordings online
Capture as video file or GIF
Dozens of export options
Also great for static screen grabs
Unintuitive interface
Not suitable for games
ShareX is an open source app for capturing still screen grabs and recording videos. There are no watermarks or time limits to worry about, but the interface isn't the most intuitive in the world so you’ll be best off using keyboard shortcuts. For quick reference, you can start a recording by tapping Shift + Print Screen, and stop it again using Ctrl + Shift + Print Screen.
You can also use this free screen recorder to save your capture as a GIF rather than a video file, which can be extremely useful for sharing on forums and social media.
Not only is ShareX a brilliant free screen recorder, it can also capture an entire scrolling webpage, capture and identify text via OCR, and even capture your screen according to a schedule.
Another of its best features is the ability to send your captured grabs and videos straight to a file-sharing or social media site. There’s a vast array of options, which you can check out on the project’s site.
Unfortunately, ShareX doesn’t support taking screen grabs or recordings from games running in full-screen mode. Other than that, it’s a superb screen recorder that will serve you extremely well.
Using TesseractEngine C# wrapper to identify image with text, based on default confidence and learning, flag image as either to move or not to move. This method returns a List<> of file names that can then be used to move the files to a separate directory.
This comes in handy when you have a dump of Phone Images with Camera images mixed with Receipts. You can either manually move files or use this to reduce the manual burden. See attached zip, and here for details of source lib and demo.
App is run with following params:
ReceiptMover ocr c:\temp\input c:\temp\output *.jpg .4
/// <summary>
/// Convert image to tif and OCR using TesseractEngine 3.0.2
/// </summary>
/// <param name="imgPath"></param>
/// <param name="dataPath"></param>
/// <param name="minconf"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
static bool OCRImage(string imgPath, string dataPath, float minconf)
{
bool r = false;
bool doKill = false;
string newPF = imgPath;
try
{
// create tif if neeeded,
var ext = FileHelper.GetFileNameExtension(imgPath);
if (!ext.ToUpper().StartsWith("TIF"))
{
WriteLine("CONVERT TO TIF ->....... " + FileHelper.GetFileName(imgPath));
using (var imgB = new Bitmap(imgPath)) // Load of the image file from the Pix object which is a wrapper for Leptonica PIX structure
{
string newF = FileHelper.GetFileName(imgPath).ToUpper().Replace(ext.ToUpper(), "tif".ToUpper());
newPF = Paths.Combine(FileHelper.GetFilePath(imgPath), newF);
if (File.Exists(newPF))
FileHelper.KillFile(newPF);
imgB.Save(newPF, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);
WriteLine("SAVED TO TIF ->....... " + newPF);
doKill = true;
}
}
//ocr tif ,if any text we seperate it from non receipt/text images
using (var tEngine = new TesseractEngine(@"./tessdata", "eng", EngineMode.Default)) //creating the tesseract OCR engine with English as the language
{
using (var img = Pix.LoadFromFile(newPF)) // Load of the image file from the Pix object which is a wrapper for Leptonica PIX structure
{

using (var page = tEngine.Process(img, PageSegMode.SingleColumn)) //process the specified image
{

var text = page.GetText(); //Gets the image's content as plain text.
// var textO = page.GetHOCRText(0); //Gets the image's content as plain text.

Some of the coolest coding fiddle sites I have found, really good for those who code and want to share or collaborate remotely plus some other tools like code formatting and conversion,. All in all the below sites are related to coding, code formatting or code conversions in the realm of languages that I use daily:
C#, JS, SQL + some text tools like online diff/csv tools. Stuff developers do every day and not always in the IDE:
Fiddles:
JS Fiddle: what started it all!
Rextester (really cool online fiddle tool, multi languages!! (I found it WAY better than SQL Fiddle which doesn’t always work)
DotNetFiddle for the .net folks
jsbin – every knows this
Format/Conversion/Translate
SQL FSQL Format (like tidy)
SQL Convert so cool!
Text Tools:
Shrib share a note in the cloud
Text Mechanic fix anything with txt like line breaks ect
Delim Tool CSV tool
Diff Online
Misc:
1. Start a stream of your fav playlist, I am using VLC 2.8
example command: Stream playlist to port 8085
cd "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN.2.8\VLC"
vlc.exe -I dummy -vvv C:\Temp\MyPlayList.xspf --sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=raw,dst=:8085/} :sout-keep
More Help and My Previous Post on VLC Streaming
2. Router: Port forward to port (8085) on router to IP:port (see cmd dst=:8085)
3. Phone: Listen to your stream from internet (listen to your music from anywhere!!!)
Get your port from whatsmyip
See Figure 3
4. VLC: Control VLC playlist (Next/previous ect) using web interface setup:
4.a: See Figure 1 and Figure 2
4.b: Port forward to : IP:LuaPort (from Figure 2)
4.c: You can now control via browser! (see Figure 4:

After a search Windows 10 shows content view , which for me is useless, I prefer View Details view to appear however Win10 engineers prove this useless content view as the default search results. To change this there is a great reg file solution to tweak Win10 to show Details instead of Content View. Great little tweak to add to your bag of tweaks!
Reg Tweak courtesy of winhelponline
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Fixes search results defaults to Content view.
;Sets Details view as default search results view for Generic folders.
