Stuff People Want
Accounts | A lot of businesses use the superb Prophet 3 Professional accounts package, but development seems to have stopped, and it would be nice to see either Prophet brought up to date, or a new accounts package being developed and actively supported. |
Braille transcription | Self-explanatory |
Genealogy | A lot of people have requested a decent 'family tree' application, possibly something like Reunion on Mac OS X |
OCR | A professional OCR application which would control the scanner and have the same facilities at least as Omnipage Pro |
Photodesk | It would be great to see continued development and bug fixes of the Photodesk image editing software. CJE are said to have commissioned development, but it's been awfully quiet for a long time |
Presentation | An up to date presentation package, like MS Powerpoint or Mac OS's Keynote |
Real Audio | Possibly quite difficult, due to licensing confusion |
Spreadsheet | Able to cope with later Excel capabilities (although ViewXLS does go quite a long way to allowing RISC OS users to view Excel files |
VoIP | Some form of RISC OS H.323 voice communications system. A port of Skype is unlikely, as the product is commercial, but the Open Source Gizmo may be more possible |
Weather analysis | A program to download weather data from a Davis Vantage 2 weather station via USB and automatically upload to the Internet - eg. a replacement for the PC program WeatherLink 5.7 |
