] SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- A single-key research utility that
] can open associated Web sites or files as you need them
] is making its appearance as ActiveWords, one of the
] highlights of the Demo 2003 show here.]
] Trying to explain what ActiveWords is can be a little
] like trying to explain TiVo upon its debut; it's a strong
] product that defies easy categorization. Even its
] developers find it hard to make a quick pitch.

] "It brings the user's vocabulary directly to the
] interface," says Peter Weldon, chief executive officer of
] ActiveWord Systems.]
] The utility can turn a few characters, a word, or a
] phrase into a shortcut for applications, files, and Web
] sites. It can also operate like Word's AutoText, except
] that you can invoke it in any text application. Announced
] Monday at Demo, each of the two versions can be
] downloaded now for a 60-day trial. The basic version,
] ActiveWords SE, costs $10; a deluxe version, ActiveWords
] Plus, costs $50.

I sounds like my next software try. I really like the idea.
