control-"m" in Latin creates a vowel with a macron over it, i.e. (ō), you
can now use any letter A-Z for designating sections, and the bug that caused the
main textbox location to jump around has been fixed. Other changes
include optional automatic focus on textboxes on mouseover, and the increase/decrease font
size button now works differently based on whether you have selected text or you
are changing the text size of the whole document. A new and improved
color picker. The color-search-replace has been optomized for faster
operation, and more.

With
TachuFind, you are not
restricted to one language or to using a textbook text, you can choose your own text!
At the top of
TachuFind, there are color panels, if you select some text and
then click a color panel, the text changes color to the same color as the color panel. If you use the
search-color-replace screen, you can add notes as you search-color-replace, so later when you put your
mouse over the matching color panel, it provides you with a reminder of what that color signifies! This
method can work with practically any text you have, I have used it to create a mode diagram for guitar,
and it can also help if you are reading something highly technical, you can mark the new words, so you
have reminders when you see one that you forgot. In addition, this program allows you to
replace up to eight items at a time, and up to sixty-four color items at a time. Languages presently
supported are
Arabic, English, French, German, Greek,
Italian, Portuguese,
Russian, Spanish. These fonts must be installed on your Windows operating system to display
properly. TachuFind will run under Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Searches can be saved and later retrieved. You can search text areas exclusively, simply by
inserting a marker around the text you are interested in editing. With
TachuFind, you can search for suffixes, prefixes, within a paragraph or within a language, and
replace the normal color with the color of your choice.
TachuFind is made so you can color the
items in the text that you need to learn, and disregard what you already know.
TachuFind does
not presently contain comprehensive grammar charts for each language; however, this site will
soon allow search chart sharing, TachuFind already has search import-export
capability. Check out my downloads page, were you can download a
free copy of John Williams White's First Greek Book and Balzac's Le Colonel Chabert,
