If you want to email every picture you take to your grandparents or tweet about every breaking news story IFTTT can do it for you automatically. The IFTTT app integrates with many other apps and services which allows it to help with a variety of  tasks. IFTTT can integrate with reminders, contacts, photos, messages, Twitter, Google Drive, Facebook, Blogger, Evernote, and many more services.<br /><br />To start using the app you can choose from hundreds of pre-made recipes or make your own. A recipe could say " If I post a new post on Blogger, tweet its title and a link, "or  "when I arrive at school,text my mom" The app constantly checks your recipes and completes the action at the correct time. It reduces the need to do many monotonous tasks. It also bridges the gap between different web based services allowing you to spend more time using the services and less time managing your digital life.<br /><br />IFTTT also integrates with certain connected home systems. Using IFTTT in concert with the WeMo connected home platform you can have your lights turn on automatically when you get close to home or turn off the TV when you are far from home.<br /><br />Some of these recipes can be helpful for people with executive functioning difficulties. For example, the app can automatically check the weather, and if it is going to rain remind you to wear a jacket. The possibilities are almost endless because of the customization the app offers. The app can also complete actions based on your location. You can set up the app to call, email, or text message someone when you arrive or leave a certain location. This could be helpful for parents who need to makes sure their kid has arrived to school safely in the morning. For example, you could set your childs iPhone to email you everytime they arrive or leave school.<br /><br />IFTTT has an <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifttt/id660944635">iOS app</a> and <a href="https://ifttt.com/">website</a> both are free of charge.

TapTapSee: Amazing iOS App Recognizes Almost Anything

<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>
