Extract the essential data from texts with this handy natural language parser. Feed Knwl some text and it will pull out dates, times, places, phone numbers, email addresses and so one. It’s also extensible, so soon you’ll be able to browse user-created plugins that enable you to parse for even more things, such as specialist units, the grammar of a sentence and more. There’s a demo over here that shows you how it works.
Fontstand is a new, convenient way to license desktop fonts. It’s a Mac OS X app that enables you to try out fonts for free, and rent them by the month if you don’t want to commit to a purchase. Rental costs 10 per cent of the font’s full price per month, and after 12 months the font is yours to keep forever. When you try a font for free, it works in any app for one hour. The selection is good: 22 foundries are involved so far.
