What is CapsCake

CapsCake is a free text application launcher. Its main role is to make the everyday use of the computer faster and easier. CapsCake brings the free text interface that is widely used in Internet search to the Command and Control of the computer. All you have to do it type your request in natural language, without being restricted by a rigid command format. From launching a program to searching the net simply write what you want and CapsCake will do the rest for you.

Using CapsCake you can run Microsoft Windows 7 "like" launching capabilities on Microsoft Windows XP platform.

Many efforts were done in order to make CapsCake small and fast. In order to do so, we used only basic graphics. No cool bitmaps, splash screens or sophisticated user interface.

Why Free Text

Free text is the easiest, fastest and most intuitive way to use your computer. Combining natural language command line with graphic user interface make your daily tasks easier. Just type what you want and get it done. From launching programs and opening documents to sending mail and using web services. Using your computer should not be more difficult than searching the web.
