While I agree with those apps listed below, the real un-sung heros of the Newt world are the extensions that do so much and hide themselves away from everyday eyes.
Here are some of the extensions I can't live without:
Corrector + This extension allows you to configure your newt to auto correct parts of words that are miss interpreted. For instance, if your "ing" prefix usually get's recognized as "iny", this will fix that.
Scrappy This jem gives you one heck of a clipboard...it gives you two in fact. One is a temporary one that can hold bunches of items and the other is permanent and allows fast access to commonly used stuff
alt.rec Where would we be without this helper. alt.rec allows you newt to reach its maximum capacity for recognition using typical "newt magic"
Daylight Savings Wow...this really came in handy when Bush arbitrarily changed the DST earlier this year!
DragNDrop Names if you have someone's information in notepad, just highlight it and drop it into Names...it automatically parses and creates a new contact entry
MacInTalk and SpeakText What's cooler than having your Newt read your notes in a voice of your choosing?
UnProtect allows you to move (copy) copyprotected programs between your multiple newts...comes in handy when you want a backup copy on a card
TimeStamp I love this extension and use it every day. It adds a date and time selector to the caret dropdown.
And of course, Dashboard....to me, this is what Newton Inc would have put in the Newt OS if it had stayed in business...
Also, Action Names...some people have problems with this, but without it, I would be lost.
Most of these are available on my Newton download site, if not, it's on Unna...
