"A fluid and flexible software that frees you from the constraints of traditional databases." -- Writers Digest"
You have a lot of information that you'd like to organize into a searchable database, but unfortunately you've got little or no experience with setting up or maintaining databases. Of course, you could always go through the trials and tribulations of learning how to set up and operate some kind of convoluted database software...
...Or you could grab yourself a copy of askSam 7 and be up and running in minutes!
askSam 7 is what is known as a "free form" database, and the application is perfect for users who have information that needs organizing but don't want to become database programmers in order to do it. With askSam 7, there's no programming involved - not even query language syntax! Instead, askSam 7 takes any conceivable type of information - email messages, word processing documents, text files, spreadsheets, addresses, web pages, and the like - and turns that information into a searchable database.
It really is that simple. Using askSam 7, you only have two tasks - populate the database with information, then search it whenever you need to look up something. When it comes to populating an askSam 7 database, you can enter data manually, scan documents into the database, or import files directly into askSam 7 from a variety of formats, including Adobe PDF, text, RTF, HTML, Word, WordPerfect, email data types, database data types, and spreadsheets! You can even save web pages directly to askSam7 from within the browser! All of your information is organized into intuitive dynamic folders, bringing yet another degree of organization to your process.
Once you've populated your askSam 7 database, you'll find that there's never been an easier way to conduct searches. You can perform full text searches, use wildcards, boolean operators such as AND or NOT, proximity searches, date searches, and many more. Plus, with askSam 7, you can save your search results to an Excel spreadsheet file with a single click! And, when it comes to manipulating your data, you can use askSam 7's integrated drag-and-drop Report Writer to design great looking reports in a flash!
AskSam 7 is an amazing free-form database. I personally don't like those databases where everything must fit into forms containing just so many characters -- much too limited for a free-wheeling writer and researcher. In AskSam, I have built a major database of monuments and statues from all over the Philippines. On screen, it looks rather like an illustrated book, with separate pages for each monument, individual sculptors, scans of news clippings and more. But, like a true database, I can pull out a report about all of the statues in the province on Cebu, for example -- or all of the work by Tolentino. I can also put it all on a CD, with an AskSam reader [if my memory is correct], for distribution to libraries all over the Philippines [which I plan to do when I feel I've completed my work].
I've used the standard version for years now, updating to every new version, which has certainly filled my needs. But with the Pro Version, one gets full-text indexing, making this product immensely powerful, especially when one learns that almost anything can be placed into AskSam, such as all of your emails, all of your research documents, and so on.
I've bought and used UltraRecall, thanks to Bits du Jour. But it just doesn't present the material in such a beautiful way, as AskSam does. I find my UltraRecall mostly unused, while I love firing up AskSam.
