CodeClip is a tool for attaching various multimedia elements, web links, files, and real-time voice recording to plain text files without altering the text. It enables one-click or hotkey playback, making it a useful tool for code documenting, scripting, and technical teaching.
CodeClip allows you to attach web links, pictures, diagrams, bug reports, non-English documents, and executable files at the very line in your script or code referencing them. It's extremely useful for anyone whose native language is not English, as well as code librarians and authors of technical books and tutorials.
One beta tester even discovered a totally non-technical and unexpected use - as a speech writer! For technical users, the source code or script file that they produce is written in plain (also called ASCII) text. It is usually written with some kind of plain text editor, often specifically designed for that kind of programming or script.
Web designers might use an HTML editor, for example, and a programmer might use the Visual Basic or Visual C++ development tools. The output files that are produced for these purposes must remain as plain text so that the compiler or interpreter that tells the computer what to do can understand (or 'parse') the contents of those input files easily.
Because the scripts or source code are often difficult to read and understand by anyone other than the original author, most good programmers and script writers put comments and notes into their code. That makes it possible for someone else to add to or fix the original code, or even for the original author to remember what he or she was doing years later after they've long forgotten.
This step, often overlooked by inexperienced coders and script writers, is critically important to professionals - the value of software is only as good as your ability to maintain it. With CodeClip, commenting your code has never been easier or more efficient, so you can focus on writing the best software possible.
