ooSooM our Task Manager and Secure Digital Vault software is perfect for capturing and filing notes and thoughts as well as for preparing and storing scrips as you create them, scripts such as blog posts, white papers and other forms of creative or technical writing.

There are several methods of doing this using ooSooM and our associated tools.

Method 1: If you are a Mac user then you can run the free software tool NanooSooM which comes with the Macintosh edition of ooSooM. NanooSooM can be launched automatically at system startup and is then available at anytime, anywhere using a Global Hotkey Combination (Shift + Alt + Return). NanooSooM will accept text input which can then be saved directly to the ooSooM Inbox. NanooSooM is perfect for capturing those sudden ideas quickly and easily without having to break your concentration.

Method 2: Another method is to use the free software Justwrite, available for download from the 'Free Software' section of the Arten Science website. JustWrite is available for both Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows. JustWrite is ideal for use when composing longer documents as it takes over the whole screen of your computer and has very limited features and functionality to get in the way of you releasing your creative genius. You can adjust the width of the text input area and change the font size, name and colour as well as the background colour and that's pretty much it, apart from the ability to save directly to the ooSooM database.

Method 3: You can of course enter text directly into ooSooM, either into the Inbox area, to be filed and categorised later, or directly into an existing Urgency, Type and Heading area. You can choose to enter directly into the main text input area, or alternatively use the 'Quick Item Entry' (Cmd / Ctrl + K) Window.

ooSooM has many strings to it's bow. I hope this article on note taking, text input and quickly capturing ideas with ooSooM helps you better utilise our software.

*BLATANT PLUG* Don't forget that with the purchase of a low cost ooSooM Pro license your information can be encrypted and therefore safe from prying eyes, however you have chosen to enter it.
