PONGen – Programmable OneNote Notebook Generator

What does it do?

PONGen grabs the current TechEd 2005 Orlando Breakout schedule from an RSS feed, and generates multiple OneNote notebooks containing the latest Breakout Session schedule.

What happens when you run PONGen?

PONGen is a console application. You are not asked for any input in this version. PONGen opens the OneNote Importer object, creates a tab called General Info, and adds a page containing the full TechEd Orlando agenda for the week as published at the TechEd Conference Agenda page. A tab for each day of the conference (Sunday 5th – Friday 10th) is then created, and a daily Agenda page is added to each tab.

The RSS feed of the schedule of Breakout Sessions is then downloaded from http://www.msteched.com/content/BreakoutRSS.aspx, and loaded into an in-memory dataset. The description field of each session is parsed using regular expressions to extract the date, time slot and location, which are also added to the dataset. This dataset is then used to generate a page for each time slot, which contains all the Breakout Sessions that are available during that time slot.

Hackable: Look in the TechEdScheduler.xml for opportunities to customize. Sections currently wired to the code are , , and . Right now, the stuff listed in and is hard-coded for the TechEd feed, and will most likely cause errors on other feeds.

Transcribe Audio Recordings

Transcribe Audio Recordings – attempts to transcribe audio as it is being recorded

• The PowerToy has to create the note so that it can import data into it.
• Then you just record audio with OneNote as usual. You can still add your own notes at the same time.
• The PowerToy does speech recognition and uses the SimpleImport to add the text.
• Afterwards you can search the text or jump around in the audio file by the insertion timestamp on the text.

• NOTE this requires the SAPI 5.1 runtime to be installed. Tablet PCs should already have this installed

Omea Reader – SendToOneNote

SendToOneNote adds the ability to send or copy across messages, feed posts, articles, etc. into Microsoft OneNote 2003. If you’ve seen or used the SendToOneNote plugins for IE or Outlook, then you’ll know what to expect. Otherwise, take a look at the screenshot below to get an idea of what it does. One feature I’ve really come to depend on is the ability to define rules in Omea to automatically send content of your choosing to OneNote. You can use this to automatically build up a portfolio in OneNote of, for example, everything that is being published about your company.

Note that this plugin comes with its own installer or you can download a zip file and install it yourself if you prefer. (It also requires OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 or later, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the Microsoft OneNote DataImport Utility Classes)

Cropper to OneNote (also to Flikr and TinyPic)

“Plugins for Brian‘s Cropper screenshot tool.  For a while I was using the built in capture tool that comes with OneNote since I am a heavy OneNote user, however, since I upgraded to dual monitors, it’s fairly sluggish.  It works fine, just a little sluggish for when I want to take quick shots and am not interested in journaling about them in OneNote (it automatically creates a Side Note entry with the capture).”

Window Clippings 1.0

Here is a quick list of features you might be interested in:

Send window clippings to OneNote section of your choice
Copy window clippings to the Clipboard
Send window clippings to a history folder on disk
Specify background color for non-transparent images
Support for BMP, JPEG and PNG formats.
PNG and images sent to OneNote provide transparency
Support for multiple-monitor configurations

Other release notes:

Works on all editions of Windows XP (Home, Pro, Tablet, MCE) and Window Server 2003, including x64 editions.
Written completely in native code so nothing but the EXE is required.
Support for Windows 2000 may be provided based on demand.
All display monitors must be configured for 32-bit color quality to create window clippings. This does imply that, although Window Clippings runs in a Terminal Services session, you will not be able to create a window clipping since Terminal Services does not support 32-bit color. Support for lower color displays is being considered for a future release.
