Train Your Brain

Kids, these aren't your Mama's flash cards. Train Your Brain is a 21st century learning tool that enables you to absorb information more efficiently and retain it longer. Using virtual 'cards,' the software organizes your material into a powerful database with user-defined categories. Each card can contain up to four 'sides,' and is fully customizable with text, images, or symbols. Study vocabulary, internalize product data, memorize air traffic control signals, acquaint yourself with dog breeds or avian flight patterns... the possibilities are endless.

Train Your Brain allows you to specify how well you've learned each card, and adjusts the training accordingly. Progress tracking provides detailed graphs of your learning, progress, and effort, and an advanced scheduling system optimizes your training intervals based on past performance. Don't worry about keeping track of when and how often you study — Train Your Brain does it all for you.

InfoCaptor Dashboard Designer

InfoCaptor is a powerful dashboard application specifically intended for aggregating, reporting, and displaying information from single or multiple databases. The software can connect to any database (Oracle, MySQL, DB2, MS Access, etc.), and through a series of simple SQL queries, create extensive visual representations of the desired data in the form of tables, charts and graphs. Each InfoCaptor dashboard can contain and display data from any number of discreet databases in a single view, and is equipped to handle Parent-Child queries, drills and even nested-loops.

With access to flexible layout options and straightforward drag-and-drop functionality, InfoCaptor users have the power to effortlessly create beautiful, eye-catching dashboards. Users can easily export the dashboard data to Excel, PDF or HTML while retaining fonts and colors with zero programming effort, facilitating the creation of attractive briefing books for clients and colleagues. InfoCaptor is easy to install and operate, and requires a minimum knowledge of server technology. Even better, it requires a minimum involvement from IT departments.
