The so called Writers Tools for Open Office are a set of new functions that are added as a new menu in the software.

The new functions add several new possibilities to Open Office that users normally do manually. Among them are a word lookup tool using several dictionary websites, a backup function (email, remote, multi form), Google Translate, a map lookup, two writers templates, a word game and several others.

To install the plugin you need to click on Tools > Extension Manager in Open Office and click on the Add button in the My Extensions screen. Then simply navigate to the downloaded plugin and select it.

Just download the plugin from the developers website and run the file once the download has been completed. It will automatically assign itself to Skype and you will have to tell Skype to give this plugin access.

Once that is done a new window appears that is giving you information about the Stress Level of the person you are talking to. It needs some time to calibrate but once that is done it displays the Stress level in a graph. I’m not sure how reliable this method is, I tested it with a friend and it seemed to display rather strange results. You should also note that the person you are talking to will receive information in the chat window about the plugin that you are using.

It seems to be free to use for now, not sure though how long this will remain. It looks more like a nice gimmick at the moment than a serious application. Let me know if you have better results using it.
