Freeware Tools: Jot 6.0

Jot is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you take notes and include images. Jot is the incredibly handy, portable, and simple note taking program. This application has no visible controls or toolbars, so you can fit Jot into tight corners of your desktop to take notes. Whenever you need to access commands and formatting options, just right click anywhere and get many editing options. Jot can even read the text to you! Hertzer Tec has been reviewed and rated 5 stars by many reviewers and websites, and we know you will love it too.

You can take advantage of the utility’s portability status and run it on the target system without administrative privileges. Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because you do not have to deal with an installation process.

No settings files are left on the host computer. They are actually saved on the storage device where the program is kept.

Jot welcomes you with a clean environment that does not embed any configuration buttons. All of the configuration settings are hidden under the hood and can be activated by right-clicking in the main panel. In case you find it difficult to spot the setup parameters, you can make the app show a toolbar in the main window with direct access to various functions.

You are allowed to add custom text to a note, perform clipboard-related actions (cut, copy, paste), delete data, select all text, make use of preset hotkeys for faster actions, undo or redo your actions, as well as customize the text in terms of size, color, alignment, and font.

What’s more, Hertzer Tec Jot gives you the possibility to change the background color of the notes, organize ideas with the aid of bullets, embed photos (JPG, BMP, GIF), and add special characters.

There’s support for different viewing modes. You can make the tool show the notes in an overlay mode (the note is transparent and is placed above your desktop content) or sticky note display.

The application helps you adjust the transparency of the note, make the note remain on top of other programs, zoom in or out of the notes, and show or hide the borders of the main panel.

Several additional features allow you to take screenshots in full screen mode and embed them within your notes or save them to the disk, email data, view and clear the clipboard content, read aloud the content of a note (you may resume and pause the text-to-speech mode), and run the utility via the command-line console.

An auto-saving mode can be activated for making sure your information is not lost. The content of the note can be exported to RTF file format.

All in all, Jot comes packed with several handy features for helping you keep track of and organize important notes. The straightforward and uncluttered layout makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
