Application Software (Dimple)

Application software is a type of computer program that performs a specific personal, educational, and
business function.

Each program is designed to assist the user with a particular process, which may be related to
productivity, creativity, and/or communication.

Functions of Application Software

Application software programs are created to facilitate a variety of functions, including but not limited
to:

- To make business activities more efficient.

- To assist with graphics and multimedia projects.

- To support home, personal, and educational tasks.

- To facilitate communications.

Categories of Application Software

1. Business Application Software

2. Graphics and Multimedia Software

3. Communications Software

BUSINESS APPLICATION SOFTWARE (Dimple)

These programs are built to facilitate certain business functions, improving the accuracy, efficiency, and
effectiveness of operations.

Business application software programs achieve measurable objectives such as saving work time and
enhancing productivity.

Examples of business applications that are commonly used by organizations:

Word processing softwareDimple)

- Word processing software is used to manipulate a text document, such as a resume or a report.
Some of the functions of word processing software include:

- Creating, editing, saving and printing documents.

- Copying, pasting, moving and deleting text within a document.

- Formatting text, such as font type, bolding, underlining or italicizing.

- Creating and editing tables.

- Inserting elements from other software, such as illustrations or photographs.

- Correcting spelling and grammar.

Spreadsheet

- Spreadsheet software is a software application capable of organizing, storing and analyzing data in
tabular form.

- The application can provide digital simulation of paper accounting worksheets. They can also have
multiple interacting sheets with data represented in text, numeric or in graphic form.

Database

- Database applications are software programs designed to collect, manage and disseminate information
efficiently.

- "SQL Server," and "FoxPro" are examples of advanced database applications with programming
languages that can be used to build custom business solutions in networked environments.

Purpose of Database

- Database applications are used to search, sort, calculate, report and share information.

- Databases can also contain code to perform mathematical and statistical calculations on the data to
support queries submitted by users.

- Database applications provide security by restricting access to data based upon user names and
passwords.
GRAPHICS AND MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION SOFTWAREDimple)

Graphics and Multimedia software allows professional like Engineers, Architects, Publishers, and Graphic
Artist to design work that is intended for their own field of specialization.

It includes desktop publishing software, paint/image editing software, clip/art image gallery, multimedia
authoring tools, and others.

Graphics software creates, edits, and manages two-dimensional images. These computer graphics may
be clip art, web graphics, logos, headings, backgrounds, digital photos, or other kinds of digital images.

What Are the Types of Graphics Software?

The two main categories of graphics programs are pixel-based image editors and vector-based image
editors.

Pixel graphics

Pixel graphics use a grid of small, square picture elements (pixels) for displaying graphics.Each pixel has a
particular position and a particular color value. The total number of pixels in an image is always the
same.

Vector graphics

Vector graphics are created from mathematically defined lines (vectors) and curves. Vectors draw
pictures on the basis of their geometrical characteristics. Vector graphics are not defined by a fixed
number of pixels. Therefore they are not dependent on resolution.

EXAMPLE OF GRAPHIC MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Computer Aided Design (CAD)Dimple)

Computer-aided design (CAD) software is a


sophisticated type of application software that assists
a professional user in creating engineering,
architectural and scientific design.
Desktop Publishing Software

Desktop publishing (DTP) involves mixing text and


graphics to produce high-quality output for
commercial printing, using a microcomputer and
mouse, scanner, laser or ink-jet printer, and DTP
software.

Video and Audio Editing SoftwareDimple)

Video editing software is used to modify a segment of a


video, called a clip. This software allows you to import video
footage to your PC and edit it.

Video editing software typically includes audio editing


capabilities. Audio editing software lets users modify audio
clips, produce studio-quality soundtracks, and add audio to
video clips

Multimedia Authoring Software

Multimedia authoring software allows users to combine text,


graphics, audio, video, and animation in an interactive application.
With this software, users control the placement of text and images and the duration of sounds, video,
and animation.

COMMUNICATION APPLICATION SOFTWARE Dimple)

Communications software is the loose category of systems and apps that allow users to exchange
files and text, audio and video messages via cloud or local network from various devices.

What are the benefits of Communications Software?

. Work remotely.
. Boost productivity.
. Easy to integrate.
. Capture important information.
. Minimize costs.
