Spell Catcher X
The Ultimate Writing Tool

Normally: $39.95

ZOT Price: $19.95

Don’t let the name fool you; Spell Catcher X does much more than correct your typing. It’s the ultimate tool for anyone who writes on his or her Macintosh, even those with perfect spelling. Sure, Spell Catcher X proofreads your documents and even corrects common mistakes as you type. But unlike the spelling checker built into your word processor, Spell Catcher X integrates seamlessly into pretty much any application you can type into, with the same comprehensive dictionaries, the same thesaurus, and the same customized settings no matter which program you’re using.

Do you spell perfectly? That’s fine—you’re not alone. But those pesky typos! Spell Catcher X’s shorthand glossary feature will automatically correct typos—often before you realize it. Shorthands will also save your time (and your fingers) by doing the typing for you. Define abbreviated versions of all those words, phrases, sentences, or even paragraphs that you find yourself typing repeatedly. Type a few characters, and Spell Catcher X types the rest for you. So perfect spellers, feel free to turn Spell Catcher’s spell checking off. There are many more Spell Catcher X features available to help with the way you work.

Here are some of the things Spell Catcher X can do for you

(that all those built-in spelling checkers you have cannot)

A number of the links below lead to detailed, instructional, or reference material from Spell Catcher X’s online help book. Our hope is that MacZOT! readers will appreciate it over some of the more “general” product info that’s on our website.

• Available-everywhere as-you-type (interactive checking), after-you’ve-typed-it (batch) spell checking, and (new in Spell Catcher X 10.3), DirectCorrect™—the best of both worlds. Spell Catcher X integrates fully with the standard Mac OS X Spelling Panel. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, or what program you’re using to do it, Spell Catcher X is available. And along with it, your carefully crafted customized dictionaries and shorthands. The same exact ones—learn once, use everywhere. The same goes for (totally customizable) keyboard shortcuts as well, not to mention features and interface.
• Comprehensive spelling dictionaries are available for 16 different languages, with thesaurus look up in 12 languages. Nine spelling languages and 10 thesaurus databases are included for free!
• Powerful, fast, searchable, state-of-the-art shorthands. Instantaneous expansion and correction—without touching your clipboard. Date and time shorthands that are infinitely configurable.

• AutoFormat—work faster, look smarter! Ever hold down the shift key too long? Or forget to use it when you should have? Let Spell Catcher fix those DOubled CApitals, capitalize the first word of a sentence, and fix capitalization of proper nouns—instantly and automatically. Write like a pro—have Spell Catcher automatically “smarten” quotation marks and other punctuation to be typographically correct—for the language you are writing in at the time. Change regular dashes to en or em dashes. Prevent double spaces—a habit from the days when you used a device called a typewriter.
• Two different U.S. English-language thesaurus databases included, along with U.S. English dictionary definitions. The “right word” is just a few keystrokes away.
• If you can’t find what you’re looking for in the thesaurus or dictionary definitions, you’ll find it on the Internet using Spell Catcher’s integrated dictionary server support.

• Spell Catcher X’s completion feature finishes what you’re typing for you. Not just dictionary words are offered as completions, but shorthands, your personal learned words, thesaurus synonyms, and (saving the best for last), names, email addresses, phone numbers and address information from your Address Book! With Spell Catcher X’s “Matching Address Book Cards” completion, your Address Book is truly available everywhere.

• Spell Catcher X’s Ghostwriter offers you “Safety When You Haven’t Saved.” Ghostwriter saves what you type while you type it, making it possible to recover your work after a crash or other similar disaster. Because it’s built on top of an interactive writing tool, Ghostwriter keeps an incredibly accurate, complete, and easy-to-recover account of what you’ve written.
• Customizable text manipulation tools let you “Modify Selections” of text in many different ways. Clean up badly formatted email messages; strip excess white space and other characters, make paragraphs out of text with returns at the end of every line. Create your own macros from the basic functions that are included with Spell Catcher X.
• Tailor the way Spell Catcher works to the way you and the applications you use work. Almost every preference can be set on a per-application basis.

Those are just a few of the reasons why Spell Catcher has been so popular for so long. Give it a try and find out for yourself—again and again—well after this day long offer is over!

Debtinator
Manage your money better to hold on to more of it.
Special Offer Below!

Normally: $27.95

ZOT Price: $9.99

Get out of debt your own way

Everybody always tells you that you should get out of debt. “Get out of debt Now…Fast…As fast as you can…Think of the money you’ll save!” They say.

But…realistically? So what. Talk, talk, talk. You’ve got bills to pay. You’ve got a life to live! You have expenses. Sure, you’ll try and send the occasional $50 to your student loan on occasion, when you can. But if you happen to miss a few of those, well, what’s the harm? It’ll be paid off eventually, right?

And now some guy you’ve never heard of wants you to make sacrifices and never go out to eat just to save a few pennies on your car payment? Why should you bother?

Better tracking yields better results.

Debtinator takes a different approach. Instead of demanding you make sacrifices and cut back to pay down your bills, it tracks everything you want to do. If you want to spend $300/month on clothing, that’s fine. We’re not going to argue. Just tell it your income, your expenses, and your debts.

But you’ve probably got a little bit of extra money left over that you haven’t budgeted. It’s that $20 that a lot of us tend to have at the end of the month and end up blowing it on a pizza. Our bills are paid and we look in our wallets and think “Hey, free money!” and then poof! It’s gone as soon as we find it.

Debtinator will keep track of all of that extra cash for you and show you how to put it towards your debts. Don’t send the minimum to your mortgage. Send the minimum + that $20 you would’ve wasted. The best part is, you’re never going to miss it. You didn’t even know you had it, so you’ll never notice when you include it with your payment. But your bottom line will notice.

This is how the banks do it. They watch every single penny they have coming in and going out and they’ll do whatever they can to bring in just a few more of them, because they understand that over time it adds up. You should have tools to do the same thing.

And it gets better. As debts get paid off, that frees up even more money. So once that care payment is gone and you have another $200 every month, don’t waste it on video games and movies, start sending it to your mortgage instead. You’ll never notice the difference – you’re still paying the same amount of money every month, you’re just writing one big check instead of two small ones.

Plus, you don’t need to make any changes to your lifestyle. Most debt repayment schemes want you to make sacrifices. “Just spend a little less eating out every month, and save thousands!” Don’t get me wrong – if you want to drop your clothing budget from $300 to $250, we’re all for it. Then you can run a report and see how much additional money that’ll save you. But it’s always your choice. If you want to cut back and pay off your debts even faster, then awesome! If it’s more important to you to go out to a movie from time to time and have a dinner on the town, then that’s awesome, too. The point is, all you need to do is be honest about how you want to live your life, and Debtinator will help with the detail work.

If you really miss that extra pizza every month you were treating yourself to, then just add it back in - another $20 in the pizza budget and Debtinator will leave it for you.

Save thousands in interest with better planning

Frankly, I feel like a con man advertising this thing. It sounds too good to be true – give us $10 and we’ll give you back $1,000! But we’re not actually giving you any money like the scams claim, we’re just giving you the best tool to make sure you keep it in your pocket. It’s your money. Keep it.

The only sacrifice we want you to make is $10 to buy a better calculator to keep closer track of your money. So order a small pizza without the hot wings instead of your regular order and that pays for it. Then, when you start using it, you can save tens of thousands of dollars in interest payments.

When you factor in things like mortgages, we’re talking the ability to potentially get out of debt decades sooner with thousands of dollars more that you get to keep in your pocket. Surely $10 is worth that, right?

Multiple strategies

But how do you know who to send those extra payments to? Sure, you may be able to find that extra $50, but who is the best one to send it to? The debt with the highest interest rate? The one that has a low balance transfer rate now, but will skyrocket in 6 months? The one with the lowest balance so you can get it paid off more quickly?

Debtinator includes 21 different repayment strategies, so you can compare them all and see which one works best for you. Sure, realistically, using any strategy is going to save you a fortune over the minimum payments. But if you’re already doing something, you might as well do it right and save yourself that extra $500 by using the right strategy. So use the approach that works for best you.

We’re not here to judge, we’re not here to complain, we’re not here to demand that you radically change your life to pay down your bills. We’re just trying to give you a tool to manage the money you do have more effectively so you can get out of debt that much quicker.

If you have any debts at all (and who doesn’t), please give it a try.The savings can be huge.

Debtinator is a universal binary and requires MacOS X 10.4.0 (Tiger) or better.

Keep track of your transactions and schedule payments

And how do you keep track of it all? How much to pay to whom and when? By using the built in transaction ledger. Far more than just a simple checkbook program,
Debtinator helps you partition your bank account into virtual budgets so you can use the Envelope Method
in modern electronic times.

Plus, after you’ve run the reports to figure out your optimal repayment strategy, you can then save it as a payment plan so all of your spending is scheduled out for you. No more
needing to keep track of how much you’re sending to your mortgage and when, it’s all available for you and logged against your bank account with a simple click of the “Apply” button
once you write the check.

And as an added bonus, you can keep track of your credit cards in the ledger just as easily. This isn’t just for bank accounts, after all. Track all of your spending and see
where your money is really going.
