Steve Scanlon's Freeware Bellringing Software

Why pay up to £40 for a program when you can have free software that meets most peoples requirements? My software was the first to introduce animated ringers, screen based method editor, realistic sounding ringing and adjustable striking quality. Others have copied my ideas and now want to charge you for it !!! All my programs are completely free and fully working without advertising or screens pestering you to pay. I really enjoy bell ringing, this is my way to give something back to the hobby by offering free software to fellow ringers, so I do hope you find them useful.

Each program has a page describing its functions so you can determine if you think the software will be helpful before downloading. Frankly, if you have broadband you could download the lot and then uninstall those you don't want. Dial-up users may wish to be more selective but you will be pleased to know each program is less the 0.5 Megabyte, so the download time will be short.

About the Author:

Only recently have I been introduced to change ringing, but although I find it an enjoyable pastime, the learning process has been difficult. Since my teenage years I have enjoyed computer programming and applied this to bellringing to create some software to help me. I was persuaded to make these available on the web, these are software titles you find here. I hope you find them helpful too.
