It compares all the documents in a folder against each other for evidence of copying. The feedback is that it needs to be able to accept more file formats, in addition to plain text (.txt) format, in particular Microsoft Word documents. So I've made a free utility that can batch convert files from doc to txt format. Popular software source files such as .cpp, .java (and many more) can now also be checked.

Download and try it out here.

The application is called Collusion and allows users to select a folder on their hard drive that contains the students' essays. These are then checked against each other for evidence of "copy-and-paste".

This is version 1.0. All feedback, via the contact form or the Nimisis software Google group, would be greatly appreciated!

(Their respective groups are here and here.) These two applications are particularly well suited to have their own group or forum as Flix is about making timelapse videos and Warp is about making funny photos, so I'm hoping that folk will feel free to share their creations!

I thought I'd also use this entry as a place where comments can be posted for PR score comparison purposes, so feel free to add what your site scored, how many pages were crawled and the number of calculation iterations performed.

Tags: screen recording, software, CamStudio]]> http://www.nimisis.com/posts/screen_recording_software Wed, 01 Nov 2006 13:57:05 GMT homebrew projects a piece of software that could take midi files of piano pieces and highlight the piano keys being played on a keyboard during playback. It would be a kind of cheat for learning the piano.

Thankfully there's no need! I found this great little application that does the job handsomely. It's called MidiPiano and it's free. In fact the source code is available for those who want to tweak it.

The great thing about midi files is that unlike mp3s there's much less fuss over copyright and there are lots of databases online from which midi music files can be downloaded for free. Midi music is of much lower quality than mp3 but that's because it encodes individual notes. And it's because of its format that it can be replayed easily the way it is in this app. Have a go! You'll probably have to lug your piano keyboard in front of your monitor (or vice versa), but surely that's a small price to pay to become a budding pianist!
