Explain Anything from Anywhere with Splicesr for iPhone and iPad - Published on 02/23/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DocuBuzz today announces Splice.sr 1.5 for iOS, a smart Show & Tell app that helps users compose and share their thoughts quickly and precisely from anywhere. A winner of the 2014 Tabby Awards/Business competition, Splice.sr lets anyone create great audio-visual presentations by splicing together any content while recording a voice-over narrative. These presentations can then be replayed in any web browser on any device. Version 1.5 is upgraded to a universal app for both the iPhone and iPad.

Singapore - Splicesr by DocuBuzz is a smart Show & Tell app that lets users compose and share their ideas quickly and precisely from anywhere. Splice.sr was first released as an iPad app in August 2014 and went on to be sleeted as a winner of the 2014 Tabby Awards competition for business apps (Education & Training category). Splicesr has now been upgraded to a universal app that is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Sharing ideas is difficult when the audience cannot be engaged in real-time. Key elements of the message are left out if silent presentation slides are distributed, while lengthy reports do not capture the crux of the idea succinctly. Splicesr solves this problem by allowing the user to quickly create compelling, bite sized audio-visual presentations that can be replayed through any web browser on any device.

With Splicesr, the user can record a voice-over narrative while paging through and marking-up any content on the iPhone or iPad. Images, slides, documents and a virtual whiteboard can all be spliced together seamlessly with a verbal explanation. Once the user has captured his or her thoughts, a link to the presentation can be shared through email or other messaging apps. The presentation can also be easily posted to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter or embedded into blogs and websites.

Presentations created with Splicesr can be played back in any web browser on any device at anytime. The Splicesr app is not required to replay or interact with these presentations. Viewers can replay the full audio-visual presentations in any browser. They can also download a PDF copy of all the slides used in a presentation and post questions and pin comments to specific points in the presentation timeline.

Splicesr can be used in a wide range of contexts. Teachers can create personalised, just-in-time e-tutorials to engage their students beyond the classroom. Entrepreneurs can share compelling audio-visual presentations to explain their concepts precisely. Managers can annotate and append verbal instruction to any document to provide clear instructions and detailed feedback. Splicesr lets users teach, pitch or explain anything to anyone from anywhere, making it an invaluable addition to any knowledge worker's toolbox.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 16.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Splice.sr 1.5 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

MapItOut 13.0: Linked Navigation,Travel Planner And Record Workout Stats - Published on 02/23/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Santo Porpiglia today announces MapItOut 13.0, an update to his powerful travel app for iOS devices. MapItOut allows users to quickly create and save maps for their destination or trip. Map markers can be added to note landmarks or points of interest. Directions can be accessed within the app. Also, log exercise routes with stats on speed, time, distance, and elevation. The new interface allows access to all functions on the main page for effortless traveling and planning.

Farmingdale, New York - Independent developer Santo Porpiglia today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of MapItOut 13.0, an update to his travel app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Users can make their travel plans with MapItOut's online tools to quickly create maps and access them offline.

"You can use Mapitout to find pretty much anything you could need for a trip away, even if it's just out your front door cafes, casinos, even parking lots or wave heights at the beach. Do it either on the fly, or before you head out by saving points of interest to a map you can use later," said writer Jon Allen of Tapscape. "A full feature maps app and travel planner that does what it says it does, without making your movements available to faceless network marketers... it offers a good all-in-one alternative to the map giants." (January 18, 2015)

Aside from its handy travel planner, MapItOut provides access to a helpful navigation tool that can be used per location to find directions, or used in conjunction with the saved travel planner destinations. What's more, users can log and record motion statistics to assess speed, distance, and elevation within a route. MapItOut provides an all-in-one synced and intuitive tool so users never have to leave the app for this added health benefit and goal tracker.

The newest version of MapItOut updated several features to improve functionality. The new interface design allows users to access all major functions of the app from the main page. Now, users can search for any location at launch, without the added hassle of navigating to another page within the app. Other shortcuts include sharing location with friends, POI, and options, which connects to itinerary, weather, nearby flights and rooms, car finder and other helpful tools.

Feature Highlights:
* Enhanced, Simple and intuitive User Interface
* All major functions accessible from launch page
* Search any city or destination on main page
* Search for specific places and venues
* Car finder
* Search Points of Interest
* Add markers to map for landmarks and points of interest
* Obtain directions within app
* Save routes and itineraries to access offline
* Share publicly to Facebook and Twitter
* Share privately via Bluetooth, SMS, or E-mail
* Generates directions for walking, travel, route, and driving
* RunMap creates maps of route and includes graphs and stats on speed, time, distance, and elevation
* No data collected

MapItOut prompts the user to begin by entering a city name or address located anywhere in the world and reveals its location in a pinpoint on the map. By selecting Next, users can search for multiple addresses during one session. Users can also research Points of Interest (POI) nearby by tapping the POI button at the top of the interface. POIs are categorically divided into Map Types. They include:

* Golf
* Restaurants
* Bars
* Cafes
* Hotels
* Museums
* Theaters
* Beaches
* Coffee
* Casinos
* Airports
* Movie theaters
* Parking
* Ski
* Shopping
* Activities

"What makes MapItOut a great App is that it's completely packed with features. If there is anything that you'd want in a travel App you're guaranteed to find it here," said Mohini Singh, Writer at TheAppleGoogle. "But what gives MapItOut an upper hand over other similar apps is its ability to mark out places of interest and create the optimum itinerary through all the marked locations. Once you've planned your journey, you can also book flights and hotels. In addition to this, you can save the maps and travel itineraries for future reference." (January 06, 2015)

When a Map Type is selected, markers display each of the POIs in the area. The markers show a description and the address of the POI. By tapping the Information button on the POI marker, MapItOut will display a satellite image of the POI and offer the option to further research the POI online, add it to the calendar, save and share it, or get directions to it.

Once the map is saved, MapItOut can generate directions within it using Apple Maps from the user's current location. Users can select to receive directions for walking, travel, route, or driving and save them. Saved maps can be sent through the Connect button and shared on Facebook and Twitter, which can be a useful way of keeping friends in the loop. Maps can be E-mailed or messaged privately or shared through the Bluetooth chat function with another individual.

MapItOut includes several additional unique features to make an effective tool for users. The RunMap feature is designed for individuals who walk, jog, or bike and want to record data from their exercise route. Route can be recorded from either the Save button or through the RunMap button at the bottom of the interface. Once the route is completed, users can view statistical details of the route such as speed, time, distance, and elevation. The stats log can also be displayed in a chart format and shared.

Another neat feature is selecting Parked under Options to save a parked car's location so users can easily find their vehicle. The clean design offers every feature imaginable under four categories on one streamlined and modern page. The POI, Options, Connect, and Destination categories exhibit all the functions of MapItOut to save users time and energy, so they can spend it on planning their next experience. A detailed user's manual can be found on the app's homepage.

"MapItOut is the only app you need to plan for your next trip, running route, or travel destination," says independent developer Santo Porpiglia. "The latest design will help you get the most out of your trip with a full range of features that are incredibly easy to use and conveniently accessible from the homepage, with just one click. MapItOut is also secure since none of your data is ever collected or sold. Turn your iOS devices into a full navigation system, travel planner, and workout buddy with MapItOut."

Supported Languages:
MapItOut supports English, Bokmal, Norwegian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian languages.

Pomodoro Time 1.0 for Mac OS X - Time and Task Management Tool - Published on 02/23/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

XwaveSoft today introduces Pomodoro Time 1.0, the Mac version of their popular time management app for iPhone & iPad. Designed specifically to boost productivity by using the Pomodoro Technique. The app provides a mix of timeboxing, timed rest stops, task management, a goal completion list, and customized productivity analysis. View and compare weekly or monthly progress of total time spent on tasks to accurately adjust actions to be more efficient. The app syncs between Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Odessa, Ukraine - XwaveSoft today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Pomodoro Time 1.0, the Mac version of their popular time management tool for iPhone & iPad. Input tasks and manage progress using the Pomodoro Technique, a method of combining timeboxing with rewards to rest. Helpful tools such as alarm notifications, customized break options, and an overview of exercises per week make monitoring progress easier than ever and helps users stay focused, while enhancing productivity.

The Pomodoro Technique is based on the idea that individuals are more likely to produce results and complete activities with a break down of work into intervals of 25 minutes, separated by short breaks. Pomodoro Time allows users to customize task duration outside of the standard timeframe to fit individual needs, from 5 minutes to 60 minutes with customized breaks in between. After a few Pomodoros are complete, users may take longer breaks to revive focus and energy.

Pomodoro Time is great for anyone looking to chart and optimize time for executing tasks. The application allows users to view the amount of completed tasks versus projected tasks and the average duration it takes to complete assignments on a weekly basis. Users can compare success rates week to week with a graph that offers users a visual perspective of progress.

Perfect for personal errands, business projects, student assignments, educators, house chores, health and fitness routines, or just about any responsibility that requires an assistant to help complete to-do lists. Essentially, Pomodoro Time offers a unique strategy to keep users' attention on the goal for longer periods of time without the common burn out. The idea is to hard-wire individuals to take short breaks in between tasks with longer breaks permitted after a few Pomodoros have been completed.

Professionals can use Pomodoro Time to allot timeframes for answering morning emails or toggling between projects for multi-tasking success. With strategic rest-stops, the app increases productivity by decreasing loss of focus. At a glance, users will see a timer displayed for the current task at hand and notifications will sound when an action is required. Users have the flexibility to start, pause, or skip the current Pomodoro and move onto another as priorities change throughout the day and users may need to toggle between tasks.

Feature Highlights:
* Manage time and tasks
* Track progress throughout the week, month or custom period
* Set and track targeted number of tasks to complete

Customize to maximize productivity:
* Pomodoro duration
* Short break duration
* Long break duration
* Number of Pomodoros between long breaks
* Target number of Pomodoros to complete per day
* Ability to start, pause, or skip Pomodoros
* Optional ticking sound
* Alarm sounds while app runs in the background
* Interactive notifications
* Option to launch at start-up
* Syncs between iPad, iPhone and Mac
* Also available for iPhone and iPad

Pomodoro Time launches at startup and continually runs in the background to let alarms sound so users will never miss a deadline. Users can sync OS X application across iPhone, iPad and Mac for an organized and succinct working environment. Pomodoro Time can be present wherever it is needed, allowing users to rest assure that responsibilities will not be forgotten.

The color scheme offers an optimistic view on daily time management by helping to reduce the mundane necessity of completing one's chores. The minimalistic interface reduces the frustrations of compiling to-do lists and several post-its, while breaking from a task to check the clock (then dwell on the clock... and so on). It also helps to keep users focused with a simple, but powerful display of the timer, which distracts users from wanting to take a few minutes to socialize or peruse the Web when faced with a tedious, but important job.

"When taxed with a project assignment, we noticed that people from all industries and personality types became anxious and counter-productive when faced with the notion of balancing many priorities with short deadlines," said Denys Yevenko, CEO/Founder of XwaveSoft. "our goal is to provide people with a powerful productivity tool, combining the Pomodoro Technique, to make time management a breeze. Ultimately, to re-train individuals to give their body and brain the needed rest to re-group and stay productive for longer periods of time."

System Requirements:
* Requires OS X 10.8 or later
* 2.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Pomodoro Time 1.0 is only $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Productivity category. Review copies are available upon request. Complete information about countries, cities, categories and subcategories, units and currencies the application contains can be found on XwaveSoft's homepage.

Output Factory automates printing, exporting and post-processing from InDesign and offers batch processing, export as single pages, variable file names, layer versioning, preflighting, output history and more.

OftenType for iOS8 - Custom Quick Keys Help Avoid Repeated Typing - Published on 02/23/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Entrepreneur and independent developer Artem Pochepetskyi has released OftenType 1.0.1, an update to his keyboard application for iOS8. Developed by a small group of independent developers, OftenType allows anyone to expand their default keyboard with custom quick keys for frequently used texts. To avoid repetitive typing, users can easily setup special keys for e-mail, surname, address and more. Version 1.0.1 introduces new visual improvements and fixes minor bugs.

Kyiv, Ukraine - Entrepreneur and independent developer Artem Pochepetskyi is proud to announce the release of OftenType 1.0.1, an update to his keyboard application for iOS8. Developed by a small group of independent developers, OftenType allows anyone to expand their default keyboard with custom quick keys for frequently used texts. To avoid repetitive typing, users can easily setup special keys for e-mail, surname, address and more.

"Unlike alternative custom keyboard players that came from Android, from the start we considered iOS as our main environment and had done our best to enhance native iOS feeling for users of our extension. We think that typing experience in the iPhone is great and there is no need to replace the native keyboard," said Artem Pochepetsky, OftenType Founder. "But there are some ways to expand it and make a little better. OftenType can surely do this. The idea came up a year ago when I was researching apps. After signing in tones of apps I wished there was one button to insert e-mail. No news on 3rd party keyboards were available at that time. Then I went deeper in the topic and was sure that custom keyboards in iOS should be available to 8th or 9th update. I decided to take the risk investing my time and money in the development. And in Spring 2014 Apple announced keyboard extensions in iOS newest update."

The first release offers such features: unlimited key quantity; extensions to store up to 4 snippets in one key, secure data stored only on user's device, with a clear easy-to-use iOS8-style interface. Version 1.0.1 introduces new visual improvements and fixes minor bugs.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* 8.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
OftenType 1.0.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

AlphaTopics AAC app to improve communication for slurred speech - Published on 02/23/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vancouver based Tactus Therapy Solutions today introduces AlphaTopics 1.0 for iOS, a brand new app to help people with speech impairments communicate more efficiently and effectively. AlphaTopics is an augmentative communication app for people with unclear speech & language difficulties from different conditions. Using an evidence-based communication board combining letters & topics, slurred or unclear speakers can help their listeners understand them while using their remaining natural speech.

Vancouver, Canada - Tactus Therapy Solutions, a trusted developer of apps for speech therapy rehabilitation, has just launched a brand new app called AlphaTopics. AlphaTopics is an augmentative communication (AAC) app aimed at people with slurred or unclear speech (dysarthria) and language difficulties (aphasia) from stroke, traumatic brain injury, ALS, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy.

The app works by bringing an alphabet board and a topic board together in one application with all the benefits of technology: sound, visual feedback, adaptable settings, and portability. The speaker simply touches the topic they want to talk about, and then touches the first letter of each word they say. AlphaTopics lets the person with unclear speech speak naturally while giving the conversation partner enough context to understand better. With AlphaTopics, there's no more spelling out whole words or fixing typos. And, less waiting for the listener means the conversation keeps moving along.

Pointing to the first letter of each word not only gives the listener more information about the word, it also encourages the speaker to slow down and separate words, actually making each word clearer. Intelligibility of sentences is reported to improve 25% on average when using an alphabet board. Pointing to the topic before speaking narrows the range of possibilities for the listener, providing context. Studies show that using a topic cue increases word understanding by an average of 28%.

With AlphaTopics, the listener can hear the letters or topic selected. This means they can stay focused on the speaker and the conversation instead of staring at the device. Communication is faster and clearer using this simple speech supplementation strategy. Previously, people with speech difficulties had to rely on paper-based boards that easily became ratty and worn out. Now, with AlphaTopics, the functionality of both an alphabet board and a topic board are always available on an iPhone or iPad in one convenient and customizable app.

The features of the alphabet board include:
* 26 letters in alphabetical order or 2 variations of frequency order
* 10 single digits to express any number
* Vowels are highlighted and aligned for faster navigation
* Natural speech reads out the name of each letter, number, or word
* Yes, no, question, smiley, space, and backspace buttons

The features of the topic board include:
* Fully customizable text that can be can re-ordered
* Voice output with adjustable speech rate
* Two sizes of grid to display 12 or 24 topics
* Pre-filled with functional topics for adults

Additional features include adjustable settings for visual, physical, language and cognitive impairments; a choice of four color schemes; and the option to pick which board comes up when the app starts.

AlphaTopics AAC was developed in a live event, with a blog chronicling each step of the process.

AlphaTopics is the fourteenth app developed by Tactus Therapy Solutions to support people who have difficulty communicating ideas with others. Tactus Therapy is proud to add AlphaTopics as their first AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) app to their line-up of existing therapy apps, serving people of all ages with communication disorders.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 2.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
As a special introductory offer, AlphaTopics 1.0 is priced at $2.99 USD throughout February and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category. In March the price will revert to the regular value price of $4.99 USD.

The killer app for the Apple Watch - Published on 02/23/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Moople today announces Dart, a menubar app for the Mac that allows you to create and send emails with predefined answers. The recipient just has to click a button to reply - no worrying about composing a message, less opportunity for procrastination and most importantly, totally unambiguous. Dart was launched last week on Product Hunt and voted as #2 new product by Product Hunters throughout the day.

Cardiff, United Kingdom - Moople, a small design shop is today proud to introduce Dart, a brand new way to send email, launched last week on Product Hunt and voted as #2 new product by Product Hunters throughout the day.

What's All This Then?
Is email really broken? Or are we all just using email a little bit inefficiently? 91% of people we surveyed said that they put off replying to an email because the response would take too much time. Another 84% said they got frustrated having to wait for answers to simple emails. We're in that 84% for sure - so we built Dart.

It's Email But A Little Different
Dart lets you set predefined answers in your emails so the recipient just has to click a button to reply - no worrying about composing a message, less opportunity for procrastination and most importantly, totally unambiguous.

Right now, Dart is a Mac app that lives in your menu bar until you need it. You can either send a Dart message with answers you define, or if you really have to send a short message, switch to regular mode where we give you a whole 200 characters to help you get your message across.

Why Email?
You know what the world doesn't need? Another messaging service. Email is everywhere, and despite what people who make HTML emails for a living might argue - email clients use web standards - so anyone that can open an HTML email, can receive and reply to a Dart message. Yep, even Outlook users.

Restricting Verbosity
Having studied the kind of messages we often receive (and if we're honest, send too) a lot of the time the intent is to get a really simple answer to a question - quickly, but instead we end up firing off a lengthy missive full of ambiguity and unnecessary formality. Questions such as, which version of the design shall we use? Which restaurant shall we meet at? Will you be home in time for dinner? And important stuff like, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Happy Accidents
As we were developing and testing Dart, it occurred to us that not only is this a great way to engage with certain types of emails with a regular email client - but what about when you're on the move? either on your mobile device, wearable or perhaps even on your in-car UI. Because Dart messages require zero typing to respond, the potential for answering emails with a single tap is suddenly possible. The benefits are obvious from a convenience point of view, but also think about safety. You can now respond to a message whilst running, sitting at traffic lights or juggling armfuls of shopping.

Apple Watch and iOS
The iOS version of Dart is almost ready too. Featuring support for the forthcoming Apple Watch, and push notifications so you can answer messages right from your iPhone's or Apple Watch notification screen with a single tap. Expect a release in the next couple of weeks
