Hear any muted TV with Tunity. #Apps #TV #Tunity

Something that has happened to almost all of us at least once, has been sitting in the airport, bus terminal, bar or even at the gym doing nothing when something on the TV caught our attention.

There’s just one tiny little problem, most of TV’s are muted or with a really low volume, what makes impossible for us to hear… Until today!

Lets welcome Tunity

This app does something so simple but yet so useful that is incredible no one has done it before.

Following a similar path as Shazam, the app with give you the info you need about something in TV.

All you need to do is “scan” the program you want the audio from with your camera and the sound will be sent to your phone’s headphones for your hearing pleasure.

The only catch in here is the fact that only works with live broadcasting (like an urgent news, the Oscars or a live football match) and you need to use GPS to know where you are in order to give you the correct audio stream.

This means, the app will not work on every single channel, but at least that random but “important” things we wanted to listen for a moment will be available for us.

 

 

 

 

As of today, Tunity works with approx. 100 channels including ESPN, TBS and even TNT (so Oscars are an option) among others.

Right now the app is available on Android and iOS and only in the US but is aimed to reach other countries soon.

What do you think of this? Do you see yourself using this app at some point? Let us know in the comment section below or joint the twitter conversation.

Make awesome multi-angle videos with GroupClip. #iOS #iPhone #App

If you’re one of those who love to record your extreme tricks while doing sports or something similar, then you’ll love this app.

GroupClip is an iOS app the lets you add multiple angles to your videos, using nothing but your smartphone.

Having multiples shot during recording is usually result of a hard and exhausting work on various programs to make it work.

Things are different this time around with this curious innovation, all you need is your iPhone, the app, a Facebook account and another four (4) friends with their respective iPhones.

When you initialize the app it will ask you to log with a FB account, once that’s done you can invite the rest of the team to the same session to star recording at the same time.

The footage gets synchronized automatically on the cloud, from there, you can use the main user phone to start editing.

Also, the rest of the team can access and edit their own footage, so it’ll have a different perspective in every clip.

There are a bunch of templates to use in order to finish the editing part,  so as soon as you finish you can share you creation on Social Media with ease.

Just a quick drag and drop and you’re ready to go. No tons of programs, no uncountable hours to processes.

The app is currently only available on iOS with an Android version soon to come.

A keyboard with a 100+ languages. FirstVoice Keyboards. #Apps #Keyboards

We are really spoilt for choice when it comes to keyboards these days but they still flock to the stores and of late standalone emoji apps are the thing but only offer so much when it comes to getting the job done, Swiftkey still remains the most popular with most and as for stock keyboards they generally suck,One thing though Windows Phone does have a good stock keyboard,even for those with chubby fingers.. This keyboard is different though offering users to type in more than 100 indigenous languages..

 

The FirstVoices Keyboard App contains keyboard software for over 100 languages, and includes every First Nations language in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, plus many languages in the USA.

When the FirstVoices Keyboard app is installed on a mobile phone or tablet, any one of the 100+ custom keyboards can be activated in any application on the device. Users are able to select their keyboard(s) of choice within their email, social media, word processing or other apps, enabling unlimited communication in their mother language.

The Canvas Works – Print mobile, camera & Instagram photos as glorious canvas.

As the header suggests this new idea was created by Patrick Ryan which enables users to Print mobile,camera and Instagram photos on canvas and now there is an app to boot and Patrick  from thecanvasworks.ie tells us more below..
My name is Patrick Ryan and I’m the founder of The Canvas Works.  We are one of Ireland’s leading photo to canvas and photo printing retailers and we’re based in Kinsale, Cork.  I spent ten years working in the advertising industry before setting up the business back in 2006.
We aim to be the easiest way to transform your mobile and camera photos into beautiful canvas and framed prints.  Nowdays, with the advent of powerful mobile phone cameras and the explosion in the growth of photo sharing social media sites like Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, people are taking and sharing photos like never before.
But the best photos often sit in the phone or lie up in the cloud somewhere, looked at only via a screen.  The Canvas Works is all about getting your photos off your phone and onto your wall.  We think photos mean more when they’re printed and believe that if you make it easy, affordable and convenient to print photos, customers will do it.  There’s still nothing like seeing your photos printed in the real world.
Our site was rebuilt from the ground up about 18 months ago on the Shopify platform.  They’re a Canadian ecommerce platform aimed as SME’s all over the world. Since launching on the site, we’ve doubled our business and have been a featured “Shopify Success Story” https://www.shopify.com/success-stories/the-canvas-works
When it came to developing our app, we were also keen to leverage the power of the Shopify platform.  This meant we could build the app natively but run the checkout through Shopify, thus allowing us to manage sales, CRM, marketing and administration centrally through our Shopify admin panel.
Customers using the app can choose from canvas prints, framed prints, wood mounts or photo prints.  We offer a full range of sizes as well as collage prints using multi shot selections.  We’ve worked very hard on simplfying image selection, cropping and filtering.  The app uses the Adobe Creative Cloud SDK for image editing – one of the world’s most powerful and feature-rich editing components. Once the customer is happy with their editing choices, they’ll see a real life render of their image as a canvas or framed print – thus avoiding any confusion over sizes.
Our focus now is on refining the app, adding new products and rolling out on Android in the coming months.  We’re offering free shipping on all orders in Ireland and worldwide on orders over €50.
