EVR structures data based on a fixed hierarchy, dividing applications, utilities, and libraries in two sub folders as follows:
applications > (application name) > (application information)
utilities > (utility name) > (utility information)
libraries > (library name) > (library information)
Specific information about each item will include the following information, among other information:
- Installation
- Usage
- Documentation
- Additional Resources
- Development Information
The above list is merely illustrative and not exhaustive. As our requirements change we will continue to expand the folders and information contained with respect to each application. We strongly encourage all users to explore any software that they are looking to use.
If there are any relationships between applications, utilities, or libraries they will be linked within each of these folders. Additionally, the applications, utilities, and libraries will be listed below with links directly to each folder. If any utility or library is linked to any specific platform, application, or package that will be specifically mentioned.
Any changes to any information needs to be in accordance with this structure.
Additionally, apart from the above there will be information about voice recognition and comparisons that will be linked directly from here to the respective files and folders.
Below is a list of all applications, utilities and libraries that we have identified over the years. Please refer to the specific folder and links to get further information about each package.
