Clap Commander 1.1

The program allows for remotely controlling your computer from another part of the room by clapping your hands. Clap once - and Media Player will launch, clap twice - and make Media Player pause or start a movie over from the beginning, clap three times - and the computer will turn off. The program recognizes the sounds picked up by the microphone and if they resemble a person clapping, a user-defined action will be performed.

Vodi 3.0

Vodi is a tool for modifying pitch, timbre, duration and adding audio effects. Vodi supports independent pitch and timbre modification in the real sense as opposed to other software tools for voice modification: You can hold the pitch constant and modify the timbre and vice versa, or you can modify them independently in desired amounts.
