SCSC Releases Phoenix version 2.1 for Mac OS X - Published on 01/05/16

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Virginia based Software and Computer System Company, LLC today releases Phoenix version 2.1, an update to their operating system tool for Mac OS X. Phoenix allows users to clone volumes, create emergency boot volumes, and attempt to recover data from drives and SSDs with bad blocks. Incredibly easy to use, Phoenix is offered as a standalone product and is a standard component in the company's main product, Scannerz for Mac OS X. Version 2.1 offers several performance improvements.

Reston, Virginia - Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC, (SCSC) has released Phoenix for Mac OS X, version 2.1. Phoenix is an operating system tool that allows users to perform basic volume cloning, attempt data recovery from damaged drives, create emergency boot volumes, and re-install the operating system onto a new drive if needed. This particular release also has performance improvements specifically implemented to improve the product's performance under El Capitan (Mac OS X version 10.11).

"With this release of Phoenix, we have improved the products performance when performing volume cloning and recovery options primarily under El Capitan," stated Bill Wagner, the owner of the company. "The performance improvements will also help speed up all operations on earlier versions of OS X, but they will be most noticeable under El Capitan. For users that already own a copy of Phoenix, they should receive an update notice via e-mail within the next few days. As usual, the update will be free of charge to currently licensed users."

Phoenix was originally developed to do two things: perform basic volume cloning with user configurable recovery options, and create an emergency boot volume to host our Scannerz line of system and hard drive testing tools. The basic cloning option allows a user to clone one volume to another, and if the drive or SSD has problems, it can attempt to recover damaged files. If a file on a damaged drive or SSD can't be recovered, Phoenix will flag it in a log file allowing the user to identify which files need to be replaced or completely discarded as appropriate.

Unlike other tools, Phoenix will not quit or give up if errors are detected, it will proceed with the cloning operation until all viable data is copied to another drive. In essence, Phoenix can step over the bad files allowing a user to get as much information off a bad drive as possible. Needless to say, if the source drive is in good condition, the operation is really just a normal volume cloning operation.

"The emergency boot volume, which we call a Phoenix Boot Volume is created by extracting the core operating system right off of an existing, installed operating system without needing to download a new OS copy or use install media. The boot volume can also be used to re-install the operating system by extracting the core operating system components from itself and then installing them onto another drive." continued Wagner. "Phoenix is our second best selling product, right after the Scannerz line of products. Many people simply want a simple, low cost tool to do basic cloning and liked the idea of having one that could still access a drive or SSD that's having problems."

Pricing and Availability:
Phoenix may be obtained as a stand alone product for $13.95 (USD) or it may be obtained as part of the either of the fully featured versions of Scannerz, but not Scannerz-Lite.

Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC (SCSC) was formed in 2005. It is legally licensed to do business as a limited liability company in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia. Originally, SCSC focussed on producing its own line of cross platform software tools using Java. The applications consisted of performance enhancing application tools, engineering and scientific tools, and tools for the medical sciences. In 2008, SCSC changed its focus and became dedicated primarily to developing products for use on the Mac OS X and iOS operating systems. SCSC's product line up for Mac OS X currently consists of Scannerz with FSE, Scannerz with FSE-Lite, FSE, and SpotOff with Spot-O-Meter. Scannerz is a hard drive scanning tool, FSE is a file system events monitor, and FSE-Lite is a less capable version of FSE and is included in all base versions of Scannerz. SpotOff and Spot-O-Meter allow a user to control and monitor Spotlight activity. Copyright (C) 2005-2016 Software and

Wordfolio - Missing Assistant for Foreign Language Learning goes Free - Published on 01/05/16

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Digital Education Labs today announces Wordfolio 1.6, an important update to its popular foreign language learner's assistant for iOS devices. Now available for free, Wordfolio makes learning foreign words considerably easier and more effective. The app makes it possible to replace the dozens of handwritten "Vocabulary" pages with a simple and convenient word tape which is always at one's fingertips. Users can easily organize words into groups by topics, lessons, parts of speech and more.

Kyiv, Ukraine - Digital Education Labs is releasing Wordfolio 1.6 for iPhone and makes it available for free since January 2016. Wordfolio is a must-have app for any foreign language learner and a unique way to store all the foreign words people learn.

Wordfolio makes learning foreign words considerably easier and more efficient. The app makes it possible to replace the dozens of handwritten "Vocabulary" pages with a simple and convenient word tape which is always at one's fingertips. During their language lessons, the students can save all the words in Wordfolio instead of writing them down in their notebooks. All the added words comprise the so called tape or portfolio of words learner wants to memorize. The app reminds student to repeat the words and determines the best interval between the repetitions of a given word based on the proven method of spaced repetition.

Since application launch, more than 180,000 words have been stored by users, more than 34,000 trainings completed. Some Wordfolio users have thousands of words in their lists added for few foreign languages.

One of the important features of Wordfolio is the possibility to keep all the words in iCloud which means the user can access the words on any iOS device. As of this moment, the developers have released the app version for iPhone but the company is planning to release versions for iPad and Mac as well so that the users would be able to add and practice words anywhere at their convenience.

The developers of Wordfolio are certain that it is inefficient to provide users with premade sets of words as other apps do. Those sets of words are not connected to any context, and many of the words are irrelevant to the users which makes them harder to memorize. It is much more effective to keep the words studied in class in one place so it would be easier to repeat them and find them when needed. The students find it easier to memorize words in connection with the context in which they have first heard them during the lesson or from their conversation partner, or read them in a book.

Features:
* Add new words quickly and easily
* Store all your words on the iCloud and access them from any of your iOS devices
* Reminders to practice a word precisely when you plan to
* Works for all languages supported by the iOS
* Search the words easily
* Organize your words into groups (by topics, lessons, parts of speech, and so on; whichever you find convenient)
* Add notes to your words, such as pronunciation or examples of usage
* Sort words alphabetically or by time of adding
* Archive the words you have properly memorized
* Learn several languages at once and be a true polyglot

In Wordfolio, you will be able to add words for any language which can be used on iOS, including such exotic languages as Esperanto, and Sanscrit. This makes the app suitable for anyone who is learning either a popular or a rare foreign language.

"It's pretty strange that, while we keep our files, notes, task lists, and a bunch of other information in a cloud, we're still writing down the foreign words we learn in paper notebooks and often can't find the word we need later, or simply forget to repeat the words covered in previous lessons on time," states Eugene Kolpakov, the founder of Digital Education Labs. "I created Wordfolio because I couldn't find a suitable app in the App Store when I had to learn dozens of new words covered during my Korean language lessons each week. I use it constantly now, and this is way more convenient and efficient than keeping words in a notebook or just on random sheets of paper."

Device Requirements
Wordfolio is compatible with all devices that support iOS 7 and above, including latest models of iPhone, iPod and iPad. Requires iOS 7.0 or later.

Pricing and Availability:
Wordfolio 1.6 is free for everyone since January 2016 and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.
