OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCES LAUNCHBAR 3.1.1 FOR MAC OS X
Vienna, Austria - October 26, 2001 -- Objective Development today announced
the availability of LaunchBar 3.1.1 for Mac OS X, a fully keyboard driven
productivity utility that provides lightning fast access to thousands of
files, web-bookmarks, email-addresses and applications just by entering
short abbreviations.
"We receive incredible user feedback", says Norbert Heger, co-founder of
Objective Development and author of LaunchBar. "Most people tell us they
became addicted to LaunchBar within a couple of hours".
LaunchBar offers an amazingly intuitive way to control your computer. It's
not you learning how to use LaunchBar, but it's LaunchBar learning how to
serve you. Just type a few letters of what you intend to do and LaunchBar
will do it for you.
LaunchBar is sitting in the background, ready to receive your keystrokes.
You just hit Command-Space to attract its attention, enter a short,
abbreviated description of what you're looking for, and it immediately
offers the best matching choice from a list of thousands of possibilities.
This list and the corresponding abbreviations do NOT need to be configured
manually. LaunchBar uses a very powerful, adaptive abbreviation search
algorithm that allows you to enter ANY thinkable abbreviation of the
searched item. LaunchBar automatically analyzes the user's behavior and
adapts the rating criteria dynamically. Therefore the search results become
more accurate the more you use LaunchBar. It simply learns from the user's
habits.
