Top 5 Favorite iPhone Apps
Dragon Dictation is the solution to Apple’s missing speech-to-text feature that Android users have been teasing us with. Dragon Dictation is very simple to use.Simply launch the app,press “Tap and Dictate” and start talking.It even recognizes punctuation, e.g. “Period” or “Question Mark” Afterwards, you can send your text in an email, send it as an SMS or copy it and paste it wherever you would like it on your iPhone. I highly recommend this app if you would like a simpler way to text.
Siri is basically an all in one information utility and concierge that recognizes natural speech. Saying simple commands like “Best Pizza Places Near Here” or “What’s The Temp. In San Francisco” it will deliver results within seconds depending on your connection strength. You can even voice tweet saying “Tweet” before you start talking, and it will automatically post to your Twitter account. That is my favorite feature of all. If you want to show your friends with your iPhone, download this app and show them what movies are playing in your area.
Red Laser is a barcode scanning app that helps you find the best price on products. By scanning a barcode, it first identifies the product, then displays the cheapest place to buy the product online, and even shows you reviews for the product you’re scanning. Check out this app if you’re a shopaholic (like me) and am always looking for the best price.
Lego Photo is more of a fun app. It lego-izes any photo you take, making it look like a lego creation. Either using the camera or a pre-loaded photo, you can save them to your photo album. If you want a fun free app to entertain you and your friends, check out Lego photo, it’s a lot of fun.
2Do is a full featured organization app. I downloaded the Lite version, but there is a paid version that costs $6.99. You can add due dates, audio and pictures. I myself use this for taking notes for blog articles and it works great. It even has built-in backup which backs up your notes to 2Do’s online databases. Since I have the lite version, I recommend both the lite and the full payed. Both are feature rich and will really help you stay organized.
So what are your favorite iPhone apps (or iPad)?
