A red box will appear to show what you've highlighted. Finally, tap the "recognise" button and it will process and show you the text. The problem is that the transcribed text didn't always work. Part of this is due to lighting and clarity, but without any tools to affect these things there are limited options here in terms of how effectively you are able to take and transcribe images. Boardman Cycle Computer Manual has a great interface because it is so straightforward. Not bogged down by extra menus, buttons, share tools, or other distractions, you can take and transcribe images in seconds. But be sure to take those images in full light and as clearly as possible because the actual transcriptions in our tests were rarely 100 percent accurate, and sometimes half or more of the text would be transcribed inaccurately. When we moved under a lamp and took time taking photos to ensure they were clear, these problems were mitigated to some degree, but never all the way. Boardman Cycle Computer Manual is a text-to-speech tool for your iPad that features a slick, iOS 7-style keyboard and a couple of options for playback. While it lacks the kind of depth and feature set that some other text-to-speech apps offer, that streamlined nature makes it a great option for many situations. Younger users, those who need a larger screen and interface, and those who don't need the bells and whistles of other text-to-speech tools will get a lot of use out

of this app. When you open Boardman Cycle Computer Manual for the first time, you're going to find a single keyboard and a couple of options for it. The keyboard looks great; it's flat and oversized, but somehow looks good on the larger iPad screen, rather than a blown-up iPhone interface. By default, the app reads in a male, almost British voice. If you tap the option to use the Google API, you'll have more options for translation and the voice will change to female. Unfortunately, there is no options menu on hand to change any

of these things; but again, the app strives for ease of use and it succeeds in almost every way. If you need a text-to-speech app that doesn't throw dozens of unnecessary features at you, Boardman Cycle Computer Manual is a great one to download. It isn't overloaded with options, it looks great, and almost every barrier to entry has been removed, making it a good tool for younger users. Tapping Counter is an easy-to-use app that allows you to quickly tap the screen and count anything you need to count. While there are few options in the app, the clean, easy-to-use interface makes it a perfect tool for someone taking tickets at an event, or in other instances when your count needs to be accurate. When you open the app for the first time, you must choose how many items you need to count. You can choose between one and eight and a requisite number of tiles will appear onscreen. Each tile is color coded so you can tell the difference between them; tap any one tile and it will go up by one. There is also a decrease button you can tap and the app will switch into decrease mode. While it would have been nice to have extra features like a preset number so you could count down from, let's say 100, the core tools here are very well executed, intuitive to pick up and use, and fast with no bugs.
