Retrospective Software is creating a totally new approach to chronicling and reviewing your life―an electronic appliance, called Now &Then, that looks and feels like a traditional paper and pen journal.  With Now &Then entries can be made via typing, voice recognition, or by using a pen or stylus in the comfort of an easy chair or by lantern light in the expedition tent.

Now &Then is a journal that uses autobiographical knowledge management, search technologies, and a pad computer to provide a user experience that is as familiar as the journaling done by Lewis & Clark, yet having the myriad advantages made possible by the advanced technologies.

The technologies necessary for the creation of this unique and powerful electronic journaling platform are now mature and affordable. Knowledge-based information classification and user-specific text indexing software enable "context" and "concept" aware searches through a lifetime of journal information. User initiation and machine learning "capture" an understanding of the individual journal user's view of the world―a personal worldview used to sift through years of journal entries to find "all and only" information specifically relevant to a journal query.

Products
Now & Then is Retrospective Software's electronic journaling system―an intelligent journal optimized for handwriting recognition and pad computers. It is an information appliance designed for anyone who already keeps a diary and understands how interesting and enlightening today's memories will be in the future. Now & Then is particularly suited for those who would be motivated to use a journal if it was easy to enter information and retrieve exactly the information wanted―formatted and displayed in ways that enhance discovery and insight.

Alliances
Retrospective Software is focused on the design and development of its very advanced core journaling architecture and platform. Alliances with hardware, operating system, and content and solution providers are critical to its ability to provide the most widely used and acknowledged "best in class" journaling system.

Retrospective Software hardware and software partners offer products that provide innovative ways to capture and present information―making journaling stimulating, convenient, insightful, and personally rewarding.
