Mobile App Reviews of the Month
Text Grabber
What it does: TextGrabber reads, scans, translates and saves a chosen text piece.
Cost − Paid
Available on − Apple iTunes, Android PlayStore, Windows
How it works − If you have book or paper or receipt or even material in another language, open the app, start the camera and click a picture of the matter. Lighting and angle play a vital role in getting a clear image so that the app works to your advantage. You can either select the whole literature in the picture or crop out the piece you want to read, then click “Read”. The app scans the page and presents it in a text format on your smartphone or tablet. Now, the options vary from translate to reading the text out loud that your device does for you and you can control the speed as per your preference.
There are many advantages for this app, you can save the text or listen to it or send it to somebody who you’d like to share it with. It is also known to help people with vision problems as some books or material isn’t as clear or big enough for them to read. And TextGrabber makes it easier to work with as they can either listen to the literature or enhance the size for their comfort. Translate options are often used by many and the easy save as text option helps to post text on social media.
GBoard
What it does: Google keyboard that includes Glide Typing, GIFs, emojis, Google search built right in the keyboard.
Cost − Free
Available on − Apple iTunes
How it works − This one was a surprise for the Apple users, GBoard has so many options to play with. Once you set it up, make sure to Allow Full Access and it’ll blend in with your keyboard and when switched on, it is quite convenient. When you are chatting with somebody, and when needed, you switch to another app to share an item or article, GBoard condenses it to one place and you can instantly search right from your keyboard and share. As if that wasn’t enough, it lets you share GIFs and emojis, and best feature, Glide Typing, you only swipe on the keyboard and it scans your patterns and spells what you swiped and it works pretty well. And when the spacebar is long-pressed, it becomes a trackpad for the phone. Worth mentioning although this feature has already released in latest Apple iPhones.
For all the people who say that Google takes your information and the whole thing about Privacy comes up, well, Google says they don’t do that and since you don’t sign in to this app, even if Google is picking up your words, they won’t know it’s you. Well, as long as it makes my typing easy, I’m in.
