<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Xxe_Qt46o18?list=UUZqIu5ALxZjy9-2kcayBO8Q" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Recently <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/04/google-io-just-around-corner.html">Google</a> added <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/10/google-search-app-updated-with-advanced.html">advanced voice search</a> to the <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/">Chrome browser</a>. Google's advance voice search feature was previously only available for <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/05/eyes-free-typing-app-fleksy-coming-to.html">Android</a> and <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/10/google-search-app-updated-with-advanced.html">iOS</a>, but is now available on <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/07/mac-os-x-lion-includes-new.html">Mac</a> and <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/06/window-speech-recognition-great-tool.html">Windows</a>. The feature is similar to <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/ask-siri-how-to-spell-unfamiliar-words.html">Apple's Siri</a> ,but works on your computer as well as mobile devices. To access the feature, navigate to Google using the Chrome browser and press the microphone icon to the right of the search bar. Then you can search by voice and Google will speak back select results. I have found the voice recognition to be very fast and accurate. One of the most notable features for struggling spellers is that you can ask how to spell a word and then Google will speak back the correct spelling. Google will also provide spoken responses for many other queries as well.

As with the original, the athlete also has the option to play as a lint appointee trying to arrest speeders. To do so the player rams the speeding instrument multiple times to disable it. The gambler must turn on their lights and sirens while in pursuit, and they automatically inning off after detainment the suspect. Police can call for a progress block, spike strips, and request assistance from a helicopter to assist in chasing the aim vehicle. At the end, the trifler is awarded for the cars busted. In the PlayStation 2 version this fashion is called You're the Cop way while in the PC, Gamecube, and Xbox variant it's Be the Cop mode. Races profits post in four environments which differ in atmosphere, with a handful of tracks per environment. The different tracks in an dwelling-place are formed by different railway creature connected or separated by lane blocks. A fictional tropical island, reminiscent ofHawaii, is the mass varied environment; the track traverses a city, volcano, waterfall, beach, forest, and two villages. The coastal forest environment, reminiscent of the Washington coast, sometimes has foggy weather, but this does not effectively limit visibility during races. The Mediterranean coast and so-called Alpine environments are more homogeneous, with little deviation except the occasional shot cut. Compared to the original Hot Pursuit, which features weather and day/night variation independent of track, and widely changing environments from snowy mountains over cities to desert, Hot Pursuit 2tracks have significantly less variation. Hot Pursuit is also the first in the series to evasion an in-car perspective that was available in preceding Need for Speed titles. There is only a "driver's perspective" view available, without a visible dashboard. There is one sort however on the PlayStation 2 version, with a Ferrari, in which the trifler drives with this in-car view. Race typesAll types of way can only have a certain status of cars to be used. Faster cars are used near the end of the "Championship" and "Ultimate Racer" modes. Delivery is a timed point-to-point dash, with the police in pursuit. This is similar to the salvation assignments in Porsche Unleashed while the fluff bustle makes it more challenging. Sprint is a point to kernel breed where contestant try to get from one end to the other before their opponent. Time Trial gives gambler three laps on a tier with the goal entity to beat the required time to get the gold/silver/bronze medal. Lap Knockout eliminates the vitality racer in each lap until one idler remainders the victor. Knockout follows a similar principle, but eliminations are made to the end racer at the end of each race. Several other modes, such asTournament, Single Race, and Championship/Ultimate Racer are also available</span>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

At the event <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/04/apple-to-update-os-x-and-ios-at-wwdc.html">Apple</a> will detail "the future of <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/05/prizmo-20-for-ios-released-with-cool.html">iOS</a> and OS X."

That being said Apple still needs to improve their accessibility features to remain a leader. New accessibility features have routinely been added to new versions of iOS. Last year, Apple added Guided Access along with other accessibility improvements. A new version of iOS is exciting not only because of the cool mainstream features but the lesser known, but no less important accessibility features that make the devices usable for so many. Make sure to visit <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/">The Assistive Technology Blog</a> after the Keynote for all the iOS 7 and OS X accessibility news.<br /><br />In the meantime check out my iOS 7 Wish List video below.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xID3QONDawg?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /></div></div>
