<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EN3N6syPoJs?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.taptapseeapp.com/images/icon.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.taptapseeapp.com/images/icon.png" title="TapTapSee App Icon" /></a>An <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/11/slow-down-ios-home-cick-speed.html">iOS</a> app called TapTapSee can recognize almost anything that you can take a picture of. TapTapSee is designed for the blind or visually impaired so it requires <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/11/nook-app-for-ios-updated-to-support.html">VoiceOver</a> to be enabled. <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/11/nook-app-for-ios-updated-to-support.html">Click here</a> to download the app for free. With the app open simply point the devices camera at an object and double tap to take a picture. Then TapTapSee recognizes the image with amazing speed and accuracy. In my tests the app was able to distinguish a salt shaker from and nearly identical pepper grinder. The app took an average of 10-15 seconds for each image. Keep in mind that you will need an internet connection for the app to work. With a few exceptions TapTapSee recognized everything that I took a picture of. The app is truly amazing because of its accuracy and detail it is able to provide in a short time. Visually impaired users could use the app to distinguish between two similar feeling objects. The app can also recognize all denominations of US currency but unlike the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/looktel-money-reader-app-updated.html">LookTel Money Reader</a> TapTapSee cannot recognize foreign currencies. TapTapSee is also much faster than competing apps such as <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/07/vizwiz-app-helps-visually-impaired.html">VizWiz</a>. TapTapSee is a perfect addition to any iOS device for vissually impaired users.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Click read more below to view the app in action.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a1116.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/073/Purple/v4/ce/ff/10/ceff1078-83b0-1486-6dd8-9d3df702a4e7/mzl.pidxhvnk.320x480-75.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" src="http://a1116.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/073/Purple/v4/ce/ff/10/ceff1078-83b0-1486-6dd8-9d3df702a4e7/mzl.pidxhvnk.320x480-75.jpg" title="screenshot of app recongnizing tabasco bottle" width="180" /></a></div></div>

Assistive Touch Improvements in iOS 6

Geeks Computer Tech - 08.57

<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9jrB4CTKByw" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Apple's <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-use-ios-6-speak-selection-with.html">iOS 6</a> improves on the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-use-ios-6-speak-selection-with.html">Assistive Touch</a> feature that was originally introduced in <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/12/ios-5-tips-use-assistive-touch-to.html">iOS 5</a>. Assistive Touch allows people with physical disabilities  to use an <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/best-apps-for-your-new-iphone-5.html">iPhone</a>, iPad or <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/brand-new-ipod-touch-announced.html">iPod Touch</a>. People with physical disabilities may not be able to use two fingers to pinch or to zoom, or may not be able to double tap a button, but Assistive Touch makes these tasks easier. Among the improvements are quick access to <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/ibm-sees-watson-as-supper-powered-siri.html">Siri</a>, multitasking and screenshots. Assistive Touch still gives users the ability to make custom gesture. Assistive Touch now is compatible with <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/05/flipboard-updated-to-support-voiceover.html">VoiceOver</a> so you can use both features at the same time. To activate Assistive Touch go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch. <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-is-assistive-touch.html">Click here</a> to learn more about Assistive Touch.

Typ-O App Review

Geeks Computer Tech - 13.31

<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AZknmNUH8bY" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.edtech-associates.com/images/app_typ.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.edtech-associates.com/images/app_typ.gif" /></a>Typo-O is a word prediction, <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/05/ginger-extension-for-chrome-adds.html">spelling</a> and <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/kurzweil-3000-firefly-ipad-app-released.html">text-to-speech</a> app for the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/best-apps-for-your-new-iphone-5.html">iPhone</a>, iPad and iPod Touch. The app costs $14.99 and requires iOS 6. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/typ-o-hd-writing-is-for-everybody!/id372971659?mt=8">Click here</a> to view the app in the App Store. Typ-O is simple and easy to use. To get started just start typing, Typ-O then predicts the which word you are trying to type. You can touch the word to accept the predicted word or you can press on a speaker button to have the word spoken  using a text-to-speech voice. The word prediction is very good and can help improve spelling. Hearing the sentence read back to you using <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/kurzweil-3000-firefly-ipad-app-released.html">text-to-speech</a> can also help improve grammar. Once you have finished writing you can send your text via email or text message. Typ-O includes a number of customizable setting to help improve word prediction accuracy. One negative of the app is that it uses <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/kurzweil-3000-firefly-ipad-app-released.html">text-to-speech</a> voices from the internet which means if you are not connected to the internet you must use low quality <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/kurzweil-3000-firefly-ipad-app-released.html">text-to-speech</a> voices.<br /><br />Watch the video above to see Typ-O in action. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/typ-o-lite/id516901569?mt=8">Click here</a> to download a lite version of Typ-O to try before you buy.
