Mac OS X application to collect snippets of text and images.
PORTLAND, Oregon -- March 9, 2007 -- Dejal today announced the immediate availability of Dejal Caboodle 1.1, a useful application to collect text, images, and other content.
Everyone comes across information that they want to refer to later. Maybe gifts you've received or sent, product serial numbers, recipes, directions to someone's house, a photo of your pet, or anything else. Caboodle is a tool to help store and organize such varied bits of information.
You can arrange the items in an outline-like hierarchy, and include both structured fields and free-form text and pictures in each entry, along with web links, lists, tables, PDFs, and any other kind of file as attachments.
When you create a new entry within an existing one, the custom fields are inherited, allowing quickly creating content in an organized fashion. But you can also add or remove custom fields independently for each entry.
Entries can be encrypted to hide your most sensitive information. They can also be searched, and the Services menu is supported to quickly add or output an entry.
This update adds support for import and export in several formats - a much-requested feature. Plus an enhanced print function, several user interface improvements, and more.

A free Mac OS X application to remind you to take regular breaks.
PORTLAND, Oregon -- July 30, 2007 -- Dejal today announced the immediate availability of Dejal Time Out 1.5, a handy break reminder tool for Mac OS X. As David Sinclair of Dejal says, it is very easy to fall into bad habits when using a computer for hours on end; you care about what you are doing, so can sometimes push yourself too far, or over-strain yourself. The human body isn't built to sit in one position for endless hours, gripping a mouse or typing on the keyboard. Dejal Time Out is here to help. It will gently remind you to take a break on a regular basis.
Time Out has two kinds of breaks: a "Normal" break, typically for 10 minutes after 50 minutes of work, so you can move about and relax, plus a "Micro" break: a very brief pause of typically 10 seconds every 10 minutes, so you can remember not to tense up too much for long periods.
You can configure how long each kind of break lasts, and how long between breaks. Each Time Out is announced via the screen slowly dimming, with related graphics materializing, and when the break is complete, it fades out again. You can change the time these transitions take... and you can even change the color and the level of transparency during the break.
This release has a much nicer application icon, plus an improved break layout. By popular request, it also includes options to remove any or all of the buttons, and to change the postpone amounts. So if you find the temptation to skip a break too strong, you can get rid of the button to encourage you to take the break. See the release notes for more information.
Check out the Dejal Blog for the latest Dejal news, including hints on Time Out 2, coming for Leopard:
Time Out is released as "Freeware", requiring no payment for its use. It is immediately available for download from www.dejal.com/timeout/.
Time Out requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, and is a Universal Binary.

Everyone comes across information that they want to refer to later. Maybe gifts you've received or sent, product serial numbers, recipes, directions to someone's house, a photo of your pet, or anything else. Caboodle is a tool to help store and organize such varied bits of information.
You can arrange the items in an outline-like hierarchy, and include both structured fields and free-form text and pictures in each entry, along with web links, lists, tables, PDFs, and any other kind of file as attachments.
When you create a new entry within an existing one, the custom fields are inherited, allowing quickly creating content in an organized fashion. But you can also add or remove custom fields independently for each entry.
Entries can be encrypted to hide your most sensitive information. They can also be searched, and the Services menu is supported to quickly add or output an entry.
This bug-fix release fixes some issues with opening attachments, help, and other areas. It also adds German localization.

A free Mac OS X application to remind you to take regular breaks.
PORTLAND, Oregon -- February 4, 2008 -- Dejal today announced the immediate availability of Dejal Time Out 1.5.2, a handy break reminder tool for Mac OS X. As David Sinclair of Dejal says, it is very easy to fall into bad habits when using a computer for hours on end; you care about what you are doing, so can sometimes push yourself too far, or over-strain yourself. The human body isn't built to sit in one position for endless hours, gripping a mouse or typing on the keyboard. Dejal Time Out is here to help. It will gently remind you to take a break on a regular basis.
Time Out has two kinds of breaks: a "Normal" break, typically for 10 minutes after 50 minutes of work, so you can move about and relax, plus a "Micro" break: a very brief pause of typically 10 seconds every 10 minutes, so you can remember not to tense up too much for long periods.
You can configure how long each kind of break lasts, and how long between breaks. Each Time Out is announced via the screen slowly dimming, with related graphics materializing, and when the break is complete, it fades out again. You can change the time these transitions take... and you can even change the color and the level of transparency during the break.
This release includes support for Leopard Spaces, and other improvements. See the release notes for more information.
Check out the Dejal Blog for the latest Dejal news, including hints on Time Out 2, coming for Leopard:
Pricing & Availability:
Time Out is released as "Freeware", requiring no payment for its use. It is immediately available for download from www.dejal.com/timeout/.
Time Out requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, and is a Universal Binary.

Portland, Oregon - Dejal Systems, LLC is proud to announce Narrator 2.0, the latest version of their popular text-to-speech utility for Mac OS X Leopard. At its basic, Dejal Narrator leverages the Mac's speech synthesis to read marked passages of a text document, utilizing specified voice attributes for each of the story lines' parts.
With a focus on ease-of-use, users can have a range of "actors" that can portray any number of "characters", so various passages of the document are spoken with differing voices, pitch, inflection, etc. Words are dynamically highlighted on-screen as passages are read out loud. Choose different voice, rate, pitch, and inflection, as well as volume levels for each character in the story. There are also a couple of silent read-along options for stage directions, or for users to read out their own parts.
To help users better organize stories, Narrator now supports multiple chapters in each document. It also offers a word replacement dictionary to fine-tune the pronunciation.
Dejal Narrator can now export stories as AAC sound files, or export them to iTunes. Users can listen to their stories on an iPod or iPhone, which makes Narrator particularly useful for creating audiobooks.
Version 2.0 is a major upgrade, offering many other appearance and functionality improvements:
* Adds an export to iTunes; complete with track attributes, including lyrics
* Also added an export to a AAC sound file
* Major redesign of the Narrator document window
* Adds support for multiple chapters in each document
* Changed the way speech changes are indicated; users can now insert markers in the text
* Added support for Spotlight and Quick Look
* New Dictionary preferences, allowing substituting words or phrases to better fine-tune the pronunciation
* Now a Universal Binary, leveraging Leopard technologies
* Plus several more improvements and fixes
Language support:
English, German, French
Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X Version 10.5 Leopard or later
* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel
* 9.7 MB Hard Drive space
Pricing and Availability:
Dejal Narrator 2.0 is available as a single-user license for only $19.00 USD, and available as a full-featured demo. There are also Household and Site licenses available.
