<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><link href="”https://plus.google.com/110940548121933077997" rel="”author”"></link> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just as soon as you get your brand-new Android smartphone, there are a few apps you are probably going to download immediately,  Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, maybe Kindle, along with your <a href="http://dailytipsndtricks.blogspot.com/2012/09/best-android-games-ever.html">favorite games</a>. But with more than a million apps in the Google Play store, it’s pretty much assured that there are going to be a lot of options that you never even thought of, either because you’re not sure what they do or you simply don’t even know they exist. Here, for example, is AllCast. It’s one of those apps that you probably have never heard of but belongs on this list of top picks because it’s an exceptional app with loads of features you might want to try:<br /><br /><b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast&hl=en" target="_blank">AllCast</a></b> is the hands-down best local media player for Android and Chromecast. The program lets you stream your device's photos, music or videos to almost anything else. Cast to your Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Amazon Fire TV or Smart TVs directly from your Android. You can control playback and volume options while never without getting up from your couch. There are other local media apps around, but the difference is that AllCast has a built-in bitrate engine that buffers a video before it plays, similar to YouTube or other video services.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiegz0fBPIXxNo24FKF8dw4hkuJYsyXnqeRytgQNP-c9L9-DgiaMc9beZth-cY3xFjnWqRUiiJS9qbNeQslnROjCY-mzDMfaUpEV82dVJTA8Q0LL3QyfdVvtlePdGAHsV1yIQ1lNtLzHQU/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="AllCast: An Android App You’ve Never Used" border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiegz0fBPIXxNo24FKF8dw4hkuJYsyXnqeRytgQNP-c9L9-DgiaMc9beZth-cY3xFjnWqRUiiJS9qbNeQslnROjCY-mzDMfaUpEV82dVJTA8Q0LL3QyfdVvtlePdGAHsV1yIQ1lNtLzHQU/s1600/unnamed.jpg" title="AllCast" width="550" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Buffering eliminates (or at least minimizes) lag, and lag is why many people get frustrated with a lot of other players. When you begin playing a video and constantly have to wait for the video to move forward, it can drive you mad.<br /><br />AllCast allows you to adjust the bitrate from “original quality” all the way to 2 million bits per second. Depending on your bitrate selection, you may have to wait a little while before the video begins playing. The short wait though is worth it when you don’t have to watch a video with seemingly hundreds of hesitations.<br /><br />The other advantage of AllCast is that you can tune the bit rate while the video plays back. If you notice some lag in the playback’s performance, just crank the bitrate up or down a little. All the tuner settings are conveniently located under the Settings icon on the main screen.<br /><br /><br /></span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Harlow Solid Italic"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Author Bio:<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am Jeniffer the editor @<a href="http://www.keydifference.in/" target="_blank"> Key Difference</a>.Have a passionate about SEO service,technology,email marketing services, <a href="http://www.keydifference.info/" target="_blank">mobile application developmen</a><a href="http://www.keydifference.com/">t</a> ,ect..I wish to share my knowledge with others and jump into blogging.</span></div></div>

Too Much Background Noise when Recording Lectures with Smart Phone or Table Built-in Microphone? Check Out the Ampridge MightMic

<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRt4pPrYmhoyAC8Z2hprrt-_LHg0lEt4b44tNnnXlM7aRVm1pWCglu2QmeSH-ux8qlXrbFAglLNHbNo4g8I3STN1FAgeyYXo3TJvCVQejy-5L_8MlZr9F1aLTHQwTuqwxSL4aljrcW1A/s1600/AmpRidge+Mic+Updated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRt4pPrYmhoyAC8Z2hprrt-_LHg0lEt4b44tNnnXlM7aRVm1pWCglu2QmeSH-ux8qlXrbFAglLNHbNo4g8I3STN1FAgeyYXo3TJvCVQejy-5L_8MlZr9F1aLTHQwTuqwxSL4aljrcW1A/s1600/AmpRidge+Mic+Updated.jpg" title="Images of MightyMic plugged into iPhone 5s" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Mobile devices are convenient tools that students use to record classes and lectures, reporters use to record news conferences, and business people use to record meetings. Some use note taking apps like <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/notability-note-taking-app-for-ipad.html">Notability</a>, <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/02/is-remarks-app-remarkable.html">Remarks</a>, or <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/11/livescribe-3-smartpen-do-more-with-your.html">Livescribe+</a> to augment their notes with audio recordings. The benefits of recording the audio can be minimized by poor quality recordings from built-in microphones.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Built-in microphones tend to do a poor job of isolating sounds which results in background noise that makes the desired sounds difficult to hear, especially for people with hearing impairments.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">The AmpRidge MightyMic microphone plugs directly into the headphone jack of any smartphone, tablet, or computer that supports microphone input. It proves an alternative audio output jack so users can still plug in headphones while the microphone is plugged in. Its compact size makes it easy to use in class and makes in relatively discrete. The MightyMic microphone works well with an <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/11/made-for-iphone-hearing-aids-to-be.html">iPhone</a> and is only slightly longer wider than the width of the phone. The microphone  even worked fine with my bulky iPhone case. Once plugged in you can angle the microphone towards the front of the room to capture the most important sounds. In my testing, the MightyMic microphone was on par with the built-in iPhone microphone for close range recording, but worked considerably better than the built-in microphone in a classroom or outdoor long range environment. The MightyMic microphone reduced background noise resulting in better sounding audio playback. If you frequently record classes, lectures, or meetings and are less than satisfied with your device's built-in microphone, the MightyMic mic is a good option to give your sound a boost. If you're looking for a big improvement in sound quality quality you may have to look towards more expensive options.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;">The Ampridge MightyMic retails for $70 on </span><a href="http://www.ampridge.com/amp-mms.html" style="color: #222222;">AmpRidge.com</a><span style="color: #222222;">.

But with more than a million apps in the Google Play store, it’s pretty much assured that there are going to be a lot of options that you never even thought of, either because you’re not sure what they do or you simply don’t even know they exist. Here’s a list of some top picks that you probably don’t about that you might want to try:</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wikitude</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wikitude is a free browser that will open up your eyes to the world around you using your device's camera. This augmented reality browser is neat because it lets you explore and interact with your surroundings. You can search for places around you, like "restaurants" or "accommodations," or look up nearby events, tweets, Yelp recommendations or even a relevant Wikipedia article or two. Vendors in the area also serve up mobile coupons through the app so you'll know when you're located near a good deal. Wikitude also comes with a bunch of cool AR games, like “Alien Attack”, "Swat The Fly," and "Bubble Tap."</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tasker</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whether you're interested in keeping your phone screen on while you read an e-book or you want it to ring a bit louder, Tasker is ready to do your bidding. Take advantage of this clever app's numerous triggers, such as time, day and location, to save yourself some time and make your smartphone even smarter.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Buzz Launcher</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tired of the way your phone's interface looks? Wish you could change more than just the wallpaper? From app drawers and calendar widgets all the way to home-screen layouts, Buzz Launcher lets you change the look of your interface so it feels like you're using a completely different device. You can choose from one of more than 200,000 beautiful user-created designs, or just create your own. You can even build your own widget and personalize your phone even more than you thought possible.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A.I.type</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It would be nice if your keyboard were smart enough to know what you want to enter, but not so darn presumptuous that it auto-corrects your words all the time without even providing any notice. A.I.type features a context-based next-word prediction engine that warns you before (and after) it corrects your text. With different skins, such as iPhone 4s and Windows 7 layouts, you can emulate other devices and operating systems. A.I.type also offers you navigation and editing buttons, like Back and Undo, so your fingers will never have to leave the keyboard again. It also learns from your typing habits, refining its prediction engine as you type.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">CamDictionary</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whether you're getting ready for a trip to Japan or just want to understand the menu at a fancy French restaurant, CamDictionary can be a lifesaver. This app translates the words it sees through your device's camera, in real time, so you don't have to worry about taking a picture just to get your explanation. Thirty-six languages are supported, and you can use CamDictionary almost anywhere in the world. You can even learn a new language, thanks to the pronunciation guides and audio clips that play through your native speakers.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Google Goggles</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Google Goggles is a cool program that lets you look up anything you see around you by just snapping a photo with your phone's camera. Shoot pictures of bar codes, QR codes or any image such as a famous landmark, billboard or movie poster. The app will do a Google Images search, and then return information such as movie titles, locations and even translations of foreign text in your pictures. You can also use this app to add additional contacts by taking a snapshot of a business card, thanks to built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR).</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">WeChat</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Messaging apps that send texts, photos, videos and location information are everywhere these days, but WeChat's claim to fame is fun. A cool live chat walkie-talkie-style feature will allow you and a group of friends to send short voice messages to each other. It also has a robust library of free and paid stickers that make messaging pals truly entertaining. The free app works on iOS, Android, Windows and BlackBerry devices, plus there's a web client for the desktop.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Accupedo</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Accupedo is a pedometer that does exactly what you’d think, and does it very well. Unlike many other fitness apps, this step tracker doesn't ask you to set up an account and log in before you start tracking. Accupedo tracks your steps, the distance you’ve walked, calories burned, and the time you’ve spent walking, then shows you weekly, monthly and yearly reports of your progress. You can share your daily walking log on social media, or have it emailed to yourself for safekeeping. Set goals based on the number of steps you take, distance walked, or the amount of weight that you want to lose.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">PasswordBox</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Security breaches are more common than even burglaries and muggings nowadays. Guard yourself against would-be identity thieves with PasswordBox, which lets you manage the credentials of services like Facebook, Netflix and your bank account. The app generates secure passwords for new profiles that you create while you browse the web, and guards your information with AES-256 bit encryption. Access all of your accounts with one master password. You can also store your credit card, banking and ID information inside the app and have it covered by the same protection.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">FoxFi</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With FoxFi, you can make full use of your phone's data plan without paying  extra for tethering. The app turns your smartphone into a hotspot for all your other devices, so now you can surf on the go with your laptop or tablet. You don't even have to root your phone to use this app, and your carrier will never know the difference.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Avast</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s easy to keep your Android safe with Avast. The program offers tools like virus scanner, virus removal, firewall, app manager and app lock. It protects your smart phone from phishing attempts, prevents spyware and viruses from installing, and even features a web-based phone locate feature if you happen to have lost your device. If your phone is swiped, you can remotely wipe it and prevent sensitive information from being accessed.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">AllCast</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">AllCast lets you stream your device's photos, music or videos to almost anything else. Cast to your Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Amazon Fire TV or Smart TVs directly from your Android. You can control playback and volume options while never without getting up from your couch.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Addappt</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You probably know how much of a pain it is when you've changed your phone number or home address, making sure the right data gets to the people you want. Addappt takes the pain out of that process by letting you share your contact information directly with your friends. When you update your details, the changes are automatically synced on your contacts' phones so they don’t even have to lift a finger. The app pulls initial information from your device’s address book and subsequently updates it so you'll have the same information across the board.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Opera</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you're still using the stock Android browser or Chrome, you've been missing out. Opera is now the best browser for Android, and not just because it's the fastest. The app offers three different browsing layouts -- Phone, Classic and Tablet -- so it can focus on easier one-handed use, or more space for content. Tabs are conveniently docked in an overlaid carousel, so you can quickly scroll through them. A Flipboard-like Discover feature puts stories from the Internet's most popular content providers in one convenient panel as well.</span><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Toshl Finance</span></h3><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Toshl Finance helps you organize your expenses in a fun and easy manner. Its quirky robotic characters and easy-to-use interface make entering daily expenditures simple.

During the first few years, websites were entirely text-based, with scarcely any images and very little layout except perhaps for an occasional heading or paragraph. However, as the web design industry advanced, we began to see table-based designs, Flash, and finally CSS-based designs. To those who may not know how this all started, a gentleman by the name of Tim Berners-Lee published the first website in August 1991, but it was nothing more than a simple, text-based page with a couple of links. A web page from 1992 had a dozen or so links, and its objective was to simply let everyone know what the World Wide Web was all about. All web pages looked almost alike, and they were all entirely text-based with a single-column design and inline links.<br /><br />Interestingly, the first versions of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) enabled only basic content structure: headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), a few paragraphs (<p>), and a few links (<a>). The later versions of HTML however included images (<img>) on pages, and eventually supported tables (<table>) as well.<br /><br />During 1994, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was formed, and this consortium set HTML as the standard for marking up web pages. This almost prevented any individual organization from building a proprietary browser and programming language.<br /><br />Since its inception in the mid-1990s, web design and development have been one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world. In fact, during 1995 there were fewer than 1,000 web development companies in the United States. A decade hence there were over 30,000 such companies, just in the U.S. alone.<br /><br />Web development is today a broad term and can range anywhere from developing the simplest static single page containing plain text to the most complicated web-based internet applications, e-businesses, social networking sites, etc. One of the foremost reasons influencing this growth of the web design industry is the decline of costs for creating and managing a website.<br /><br />Today’s Internet has become an effective tool for interaction, communication and even business growth. Website development has ceased to be costly, and there are a large number of small web developers who offer their services at very affordable rates. The growth of the web design industry was fuelled by companies using the web as a business tool to sell their goods or services. The emergence of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has contributed a spurt in the growth of the Web design industry. E-commerce sites have dramatically altered the way people buy or sell goods, making trading much easier and convenient than ever before.<br /><br />Another classic example of transformation led by web development is blogs. Open source content management systems (CMS) such as <a href="http://dailytipsndtricks.blogspot.com/2014/03/8-best-techniques-of-making-money-with.html" rel="" target="">Joomla</a>!, Drupal, XOOPS, and TYPO3, along with enterprise content management systems such as Alfresco, have carried web development into totally new spheres of interactive communication.<br /><br />Social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter offer users a platform they can communicate freely with one another, and this is also changing e-commerce through the number of hits and online advertisements.<br /><br />Advertising on the web is also developing into a multi-million dollar industry, as advertisements in one form or another are invariably available on every page of a website.<br /><br />Today, many web development companies have well-trained and skilled professionals who offer excellent services and have earned exceptional reputations around the world. With competition getting fiercer every the day, and with there being a proliferation of websites, <a href="http://dailytipsndtricks.blogspot.com/2014/03/5-seo-success-secrets.html">effective SEO practices</a> are also becoming necessary. It is a fact that online businesses and their unique web designs are the KEY to commanding a lot of attention and respect from today’s Internet visitors.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Harlow Solid Italic"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Author Bio:<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kevin is a Content editor Specialist of <a href="http://www.keydifference.com/" target="_blank">Visit keydifference</a>.

Probably not, but a similar problem is facing <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2014/06/happy-birthday-voiceover.html">VoiceOver</a> users (and users of other built-in accessibility features) every time they look for a new app on the App Store. This user base is growing quickly due to high quality accessibility features that Apple builds into every iOS device. Currently, the App Store offers no way for users to know if the app will be accessible before hitting the buy button. For VoiceOver users, this means throwing away money if the app turns out to be inaccessible. While the issue of app accessibility has been getting a lot of buzz lately, hopefully Apple can implement some solutions to the problem before and until app accessibility is virtually ubiquitous.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One way to help users know if an app is accessible before hitting the buy button is to add an accessibility report to the apps App Store page. Just as App Store pages prominently displays if an app is compatible with Game Center. This report could be generated during Apple's app review process and consist of a simple rating scale to help users determine if the app is accessible for their needs. As Rene Ritchie of <a href="http://imore.com/">iMore.com</a> suggested, maybe Apple would decide not to recommend any apps that are not fully accessible.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are other solutions such as allowing developers to create an app accessibility preview alongside the full blown app previews coming with <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2014/06/ios-8-more-accessible-than-ever.html">iOS 8</a>. Developers could walk users through how the app interacts with <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2014/06/happy-birthday-voiceover.html">VoiceOver</a> or other <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2014/04/apple-announces-wwdc-2014-will.html">accessibility</a> features directly in the App Store using audio and video.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hopefully Apple and app developers continue to keep in mind when updating their products.</div>
