iMiser Research Assistant for Windows

User Reviews

• Works well as an offline research browser

  Pros

  mostly it works very well, has some nice features. User interface takes a little time to get use to...can be customized. I bought the paid version after trial and although it took a full day to receive the subsciption key code, I received an email apoligizing for the delay due to server being down. I have used it effectively for college research projects.

  Cons

  I had an antispyware alert on a file associated with program.

• Very good program

  stevtan107/15/2005

  Pros

  Performs very well and works with every browser I tried. It doesn't integrate with the browser, instead it has a little pelican icon that floats on top of the browser. I'm glad it's not an add-in or plug-in because I've had problems with that type of program. I've even had one plug-in that disabled IE.

  Cons

  I found a web page that this program couldn't save completely. Their tech support responded quickly and tested the url. It turns out that some pages are designed not to be saved (copyright issues?). Even IE couldn't save it!

• Interesting program!

  warrenf5/8/2005

  Pros

  This program has a lot of interesing features, including features I've never seen in any other program. It's perfect for web research, but it's also great as a web archiving tool. Plus, it works with a number of browsers. This is important to me because I'm using Internet Explorer less and less and starting to use Firefox. It has a yellow highlighter for pages you save. You just select some text and right click it. It's the only program I've seen that has a tutorial displayed when you first open it, so you can get started right away. It even has flash animations in the tutorial. Great program!

  Cons

  I've used iMiser Research Assistant for about 10 days now and saved hundreds of web pages and text snippets and I haven't had any problems.

• Pretty much has it all

  miltlong2/25/2005

  Pros

  I've been waiting for a program like this for a long time. It saves web pages or just the text you want. Just discovered that it also saves files like text and pdf files from your hard drive. I must have hundreds of those scattered around - now I can organize them! The automation features are outstanding. My favorite is double clicking a word on a web page to put it in your keywords list. Sure beats typing words.

  Cons

  I didn't care for the screen colors and then I found you can *change* them. Nice work!
