You usually find your way around the PC using the mouse and clicking over and over. But sometimes to do a simple task you have to click on many buttons, menus and windows.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just tell your computer: "Email John I received the files, thank you." to send email, or just "Word" to open up Microsoft Word?

Well now you can, with Dash!

And it’s even better because you won’t even have to type the whole thing, as Dash will autocomplete your commands, application names, email addresses, etc.

Look at this video and check out these tutorials.

Like Magic: Think. Dash. Done.

So how does it work exactly?

For example, say you want to open your web browser. First you call Dash by pressing a hotkey. Then you start typing Firefox (or whatever the name of your browser is). By the time you have typed 1 or 2 letters, Dash knows what you want. Finally you just press Enter and Dash will open your browser. As simple as that. Or perhaps you want to do a Google search (or any search for that matter) on Spider Man. Again, you call Dash, start typing G…, then spider man. Press Enter and Dash will open your browser at a Google search for Spider Man.

Maybe you are working with some files and folders. You select a folder, call Dash, start typing Zip, press Enter, and Dash will Zip compress the selected folder. Nothing could be simpler or faster!

You can launch your most used applications, or those you have not used in years, without frustration. Instantly send email, do all sorts of web searches, go to your favorite websites, create appointments, play music, zip files, find and open documents, and much more. All without clicking and without wasting time.

Can Dash read your mind?

Yes it can. Well no, not really but it will make you wonder. Dash learns from you, and remembers. It only takes a few keystrokes to perform all sorts of tasks, and there is nothing to memorize, you just type what you want. The power of Dash is unlimited, besides all the built in commands, you can create your own easily. Plus you can also catalog your computer using Dash scanners, or apply and create new skins, and with the use of plugins, Dash can grow indefinitely.

Dash is fast, smart and intuitive, so sit back, use Dash, and relax.

Dash is a cutting edge Lexical User Interface  or LUI.

But what is a LUI? 

Current operating systems work using a Graphical User Interface or GUI made up of icons, buttons, menus, etc. They work fine for certain tasks but are terrible for many others.

A Lexical User Interface is a way to control your computer by telling it what to do using text instead of clicking buttons and menus. But typing is not exactly fast by itself, so what sets Dash appart is that it will know what you want to do before you finish typing. It’s as if your computer had a universal autocomplete for all the tasks you want to perform.

Dash will change the way we use computers and you will love it.
