Automatically Create Action Shot Videos with Clipstro 1.0 for iOS - Published on 08/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Japan-based SPLYZA today introduces Clipstro 1.0, their new video editor for iOS devices. Clipstro creates action shot videos that require no advanced editing software. With Clipstro, users record 4 seconds of video which is automatically converted into a 6-second action shot. Similar to motion sequence images, only the largest moving object's actions are recognized and stacked. Clipstro videos can be posted Facebook, shared through messaging and E-mail, or saved to the user's photo library.

Shizuoka, Japan - SPLYZA today introduces Clipstro 1.0, their new video editor for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Clipstro creates action shot videos that require no advanced editing software. Users can record 4 seconds of video that is automatically converted into a 6-second action shot video that reflects motion sequence images.

Only the largest moving object's actions are recognized and stacked during Clipstro's video capture sequence. To get the best results, users need to keep the camera as still as possible and avoid dark places. Backgrounds should be distinctive and actions performed should move across the video frame to avoid overlapping.

Feature Highlights:
* Simple and easy-to-operate User Interface
* Automatically converts 4 seconds of video to a 6-second slow motion action shot
* Displays smooth trajectory and flow of movement
* Ability to post to Facebook and share via Messaging and E-mail
* Ability to save video to photo library for upload later
* Includes video recording tips
* Ability to turn on/off camera flash function

Clipstro videos are automatically converted once the video is captured. Conversion times vary depending on the device but range from 25 seconds to 115 seconds. Although Clipstro supports iOS 7 and later, the resolution of the video may vary depending on the memory capacity of the device. Devices with less than 512 MB of RAM will feature 640 x 360 resolution. Devices with more than 1GB of RAM will feature a 1024 x 576 resolution.

"This iOS App actually came in handy for one of our team members when they went on a boating vacation," reports The Pocket Tech Guide. "It works quite well but as stated above, you need to hold the device steady!" (30 July 2014)

Clipstro videos can be easily posted Facebook or shared through messaging and E-mail upon completion. Users may also save Clipstro videos to their photo library so they may be uploaded later on video-sharing apps such as Instagram, LINE, Viddy, and Socialcam.

"Enjoy using Clipstro for sports, dancing, riding bikes, or even checking your posture!" says Hiroyuki Doi, founder of SPLYZA. "Clipstro is an easy-to-use app that uses special effects to create fun and unique videos. Clipstro is only one of the many projects from our mobile/web application development team. Keep up with our exciting new developments in our projects because there will be more releases coming soon."

Language Support:
* English, German, French, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese

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

Pricing and Availability:
Clipstro 1.0 is $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. Review copies are available upon request.

Learn to Know Thyself - Step by Step with a Life Inventory App - Published on 08/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

James Hollender's Life Inventory apps help users learn to "Know Thyself". These apps, once understood are amazing and built-in instructions are a great help. They guide users step by step in creating their own Moral Inventory which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses, leading to a better knowledge of self than they ever thought possible. Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping.

Revere, Massachusetts - James Hollender's Life Inventory apps help users learn to "Know Thyself". These apps, once understood are amazing and built-in instructions are a great help. They guide users step by step in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses leading to a better knowledge of themselves. These apps allow any user, even someone not in a 12-Step program, to learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

The Canadian Reviewer has suggested Life Inventory may even become your always available digital therapist: "If your smartphone has become your personal trainer, assistant, and even financial advisor, why not turn it into your therapist as well? Life Inventory app for iOS is here to help you understand what makes you tick. This app helps you create your own Life Inventory or Moral Inventory to provide you with better understanding of your personality, strengths, and weaknesses to help you live a better life."

Both the iPad and iPhone/iPod touch versions accomplish exactly the same thing, only the interface is considerably different for each because of the significant differences in screen size.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to enter data into their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support from others.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents related each Entity.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add more if desired:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

The Life Inventory for iPad app was rated as the 3rd Top iOS App for 2012: "Life Inventory for iPad: This iPad top iOs apps 2012 has the potential to let users create their very own Life Stock, which may present higher self-understanding of their character, strengths, and weaknesses. Life Stock is geared towards folks working by manner of a 12 step AA program and has quite quite a bit of spiritual connotations as faith and fellowship is the cornerstone of these kinds of programs. It assists customers in probing into not solely what happened, but in addition why it happened. Life Stock is certainly equivalent to moral inventory. Because the idea behind the app is advanced, new users might wrestle a bit with it. Life Stock is suitable with iPad and requires iOS 5.0 or later. This app costs USD 9.99. There may be additionally an iPhone version available."

James Hollender is also the author of a suite of Nutrient apps based on the USDA National Nutrient Database:

* iCarbs (Carbohydrates)
* iCholesterol (Dietary Cholesterol)
* iFiber (Fiber)
* iKals (Calories)
* iPotassium (Potassium)
* iProteins (Proteins)
* iSatFat (Saturated Fat)
* iSodium (Sodium)
* iSugars (Sugars)
* Vitamin K (Vitamins K1, K1D & K2)
* iNutrients (encompasses all ten nutrients listed above)

Device Requirements:
* "Life Inventory" - iPhone and iPod touch
* "Life Inventory for iPad" - iPad only
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later

Pricing and Availability:
Life Inventory and Life Inventory for iPad are each $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of each app is $1.99, which supplement the main app by providing a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation, but is limited as to the number of records created so it's not sufficient to complete a full Life Inventory. Review copies are available on request.

Kickstarter - SpeakerSlide - iPad and iPhone Accessory - Published on 08/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DesignRstudio announces their new Kickstarter project for the SpeakerSlide for iOS devices. This mobile device plugs into the iPhone or iPad and redirects the sound toward the user. It makes movies, music games come alive and more enjoyable. The assessory will be manufactured from polycarbonate plastic and have a highly polished finish. The SpeakerSlide can be adjusted to fit most cases and covers and requires no batteries, cables or connections.

Manlius, New York - We really enjoy our iPads(R) & iPhones(R) and use them all of the time. The speakers on these devices have been designed to direct sound off to the side, which makes listening to videos or music less entertaining. To alleviate this problem, we often found ourselves cupping our hands around the speaker in order to redirect the sound. However, this position becomes uncomfortable after a few minutes and limits how you can hold the iPad/iPhone.

To solve this: the SpeakerSlide(TM) plugs into the iPad or iPhone and redirects sound towards you, the user. The increase in sound is remarkable. Movies, music, games and more come alive and are much more enjoyable.

Features:
* Works instantly. Just plug it in
* Listen by yourself, share with others, or fill an entire room with sound
* Notifications are louder (voicemail, text messages, phone calls and more)
* No batteries, cables or connections to fuss with
* iPad model fits the iPad Air(TM), iPad mini(TM) iPad mini (TM) with Retina display
* iPhone model fits the iPhone 5, 5c and 5s
* Apple-esque design, look, and high quality feel
* Fits with practically all cases and covers
* Can be used while charging* or not
* Designed and Manufactured in the U.S.A

* To use while charging requires the Apple(R) Lightning(TM) cable supplied with your iPad(R) or iPhone(R)
* Will not work with aftermarket third party Lightning(TM) cables

How it started:
We purchased our first Apple product, the original iPhone, on the day it was released in 2007. Since then we have become big Apple fans, using iPads, laptops, Apple TV, and of course the latest versions of the iPhones.

During the 2013 holiday season we purchased our first iPad, the Air model, and fell in love; using it constantly. While watching movies and video conferencing with friends and family, we would hold the iPad with our hands cupped around the speaker. After a little while our hands would become cramped and sore; ultimately creating an uncomfortable and less enjoyable experience.

We were constantly thinking of creative, new ways to redirect the sound, but also recognized that the solution had to work in any situation a user may encounter. For instance, your iPad may need to be charged while watching a movie. So, we knew in this scenario the SpeakerSlide needed to work while being charged or not, and IT DOES.

The next scenario to consider was using the SpeakerSlide with cases and covers. Again we knew it had had to be designed to fit all of Apple's, and most third-party's cases and covers, and IT DOES. The SpeakerSlide can be adjusted farther away or closer to the speakers, allowing clearance for cases and covers (see FAQ).

Over the past five months we have meticulously reviewed every millimeter of the SpeakerSlide in order to perfect each surface, curve, and line. Our goal was to create an item that feels solid and of high quality. A product that wouldn't interfere with your use, but rather enhance it. We think we've done just that. We designed countless versions of the SpeakerSlide and the finalized prototype far exceeded our expectations.

The SpeakerSlide will have the same appearance and feel Apple users have grown accustom to using. It will be manufactured from polycarbonate plastic and have a highly polished finish. This is the same type of plastic Apple uses for their products: all chargers, iPhone 5c, Time Capsule, Airport series, and many other products.

If you would like to see additional images or videos, please feel free to check out our website. We certainly hope that you find this campaign as exciting as we do. If you have any questions, please just ask. Thanks for your interest and pledges.

MIT Student Ben Reynolds Unveils his Award-Winning iOS game, Got Light? - Published on 08/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ben Reynolds is a 20-year-old MIT student who just released his award-winning first iOS game, Got Light?, published by MakeGamesWithUs. Got Light? is a clever puzzle game about playing with colored light and shadows. After 18 months of development, Got Light? is finally on the App Store and an Android version is set to release in the coming months. Reynolds won a $6670 Grand Prize for his game at MIT, and has surely made a name for himself in the indie game community.

New York, New York - When Ben Reynolds taught himself to code in high school, he never imagined the skills would land him in a job in New York City five years later with a name for himself in the industry. Heading into his junior year at Massachusetts Institute of Technology majoring in computer science, Reynolds is celebrating the launch of his first mobile game called Got Light?, published by indie startup company MakeGamesWithUs. The award-winning project, an interplanetary light, shadow, and color mixing puzzle game with over 70 levels, is now available for free download on the App Store for iPad and iPhone. An Android version is scheduled for release in the next few months.

For the past 18 months, Reynolds has been hard at work spending hundreds of hours polishing and adding content to Got Light?, which has been first released for the iPhone and iPad. The iOS version of the game is available for free download and offers 28 levels of free gameplay while the full 73 levels of gameplay are available for a $1.99 in-app purchase.

Got Light? offers a unique puzzle experience that blends striking artistic visuals and challenging, simple gameplay. As the game progresses, levels become more complex in design and difficulty, resulting in hours of engaging playtime.

Of course, the story of Got Light?'s development goes far back before this summer and has impressed many others. While still in middle school, Reynolds cut his teeth designing original games using MITng Scratch event-based programming language. Then as a high school student, he taught himself to code Flash games using online tutorials and first began posting his work onto Kongregate at the age of 15.

Eventually, Reynolds moved on to pursue developing iOS apps including The North Star Smart Stars Survey. He programmed & designed this educational app, which encourages megacognitive reflection in young students, in partnership with his uncle and NY Times #1 bestselling author and illustrator, Peter H. Reynolds. The iPad app is published by FableVision Learning.

Reynolds' love of programming and award-winning art & photography served him well in his application for MIT. As it turns out, he was the only student from his high school class who was accepted to attend. And, it was at MIT that Got Light? was born.

As a college freshman, Reynolds entered the first annual MIT iOS Game Development Competition, a student competition in which over 25 teams of 1-3 students participated. The competition's judging panel of industry giants included, among others, Gameloft, Entertainment Arts, and Zynga. Taking the challenge on as a solo effort, Reynolds created the first build of Got Light? in a matter of three weeks ended up walking away with the Grand Prize, which included a $6670 cash prize (a quirky nod to the MIT coursey with the Grand Prize,,) a new iPad, and several job offers.

Accepting one of these offers, last summer Reynolds went to work in New York City as a programmer at Gameloft, one of the most successful mobile game developers in the industry. All the while, development of Got Light? continued in Reynolds' free time.

In late 2013, competition sponsor MakeGamesWithUs offered Reynolds a publishing deal for Got Light?, and were so impressed by his work he was offered a faculty position at the MakeGamesWithUs Summer Academy teaching iPhone game programming to young people. The MakeGamesWithUs Summer Academy gives high school and college students the tools and knowledge to build iOS games. After students develop the games, MakeGamesWithUs offers to handle the often-difficult production aspects, including providing professional art, graphics and music, and then splitting revenues.

MakeGamesWithUs co-founder Ashu Desai states, "This type of practical education is lacking from the traditional education system. Having built and shipped a product at an early age can really impact your outlook on life. We hope to inspire people to invest their time in both computer science as well as entrepreneurship."

Reynolds returns to MIT in early September to continue his studies in computer science, and carry on his work doing undergraduate research at the MIT Media Lab.

fScanX Update for Mac OS X - Software for High-Speed Fujitsu Scanners - Published on 08/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Colorado-based ESD has announced fScanX 1.8.4 for Mac OS X, an update to their popular scanning application adding support for the Fujitsu fi-7160, fi-7260, fi-7180 & fi-7280 document scanners. fScanX provides the ability to scan single or double-sided documents in color, grayscale or monochrome at up to 135 pages per minute. In addition, the package includes an Automator action for easy workflow development, and a command-line utility for complete scripted control of scanning functions.

Golden, Colorado - Elevated Software Development, Inc. has announced the release of fScanX 1.8.4 for Mac OS X, adding support for the Fujitsu fi-7160, fi-7260, fi-7180 & fi-7280 document scanners to their popular scanning application designed exclusively for use with the Fujitsu fi-series of high-speed scanners. This release keeps fScanX's broad support for Fujitsu's fi-series document scanners up to date with Fujitsu's latest scanners.

"These latest models from Fujitsu are the greatest advance ever in desktop document scanning. They offer 60-80 pages/minute scanning at an incredibly lower price point than before, and so bring production-level scanning within reach of individuals and small businesses. We are delighted to now deliver this level of scanning performance to Mac users at these prices", said Scott Ribe, founder of Elevated Software Development, Inc. "In 2002 there was no support available for integrating high-speed scanning into Macintosh applications, so I started developing my own drivers as part of an extensive electronic medical records system. In 2004, I distilled the essential scanning support into the standalone product fScanX. Over the past 12 years Fujitsu steadily increased the speed, reliability & quality of their scanners, and now they have taken an unmatched leap forward."

Developed from the ground up utilizing the latest OS X technologies, fScanX is best known for its agility, speed, and simplicity. It provides the ability to scan single or double-sided documents in color, grayscale or monochrome directly into multi-page TIFF or PDF files at up to 135 pages per minute.

fScanX's simple-to-use scanning utility offers a natural, easy user interface and is aimed at scanning documents into files quickly with no fuss. fScanX also ships with a handy Automator action which enables very easy creation of scanning workflows without scripting. This opens up a host of possibilities for prepress operators, developers and graphic designers alike to build custom workflows involving scanning.

In addition fScanX includes a command-line utility for complete scripted control of scanning functions--because it does not require the application to launch in order to perform scanning, it gives developers the ability to control the user interface completely. This enables a host of alternative automation options. It takes only three lines of script code in FileMaker to scan a document, with similar setups available in 4D. And it's just as easy to scan from AppleScript, shell scripts, Ruby, Python, and more.

"We've used the ease of FileMaker, the flexibility of AppleScript, and the ever-growing features of fScanX to create what I consider the ultimate in business automation," said Ryan Thorpe, 24-Hour Record Retriever & Abstract, Inc. "Fujitsu's great scanners coupled with Scott's excellent software, service, and support makes it a no-brainer. Anyone serious about running a business on a Mac needs fScanX."

Current supported scanners include the Fujitsu fi-7160, fi-7260, fi-7180, fi-7260, fi-5530C2, fi-4340C, fi-6670, fi-6770, fi-5950C and fi-6800 models. (fScanX also supports numerous older Fujitsu scanner models; see the website for the full list.) Using the top-of-the-line fi-5950C, and running fScanX 1.8 on a current Mac Quad-Core or better, delivers maximum throughput of 135 pages/minute single-sided, and 270 images/minute double sided, scanning at 200 or 300 dpi (color, grayscale or monochrome).

Feature Highlights:
* Comfortable and simple user interface aimed strictly at scanning documents into files
* Simple installation (Standard package: double-click to install, install via ARD, etc.)
* From download to first scan potentially in about a minute
* Up to 135 pages per minute throughput
* Unlimited automation possibilities
* Single-sided and double-sided scanning, black & white, grayscale, color

Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion, 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, or 10.9.3 Mavericks
* 64-bit Intel Mac
* 4.5 MB Hard Drive space plus storage for scanned documents
* Compatible fi-series Fujitsu scanner

Pricing and Availability:
fScanX is licensed on a per-scanner basis, $149 - $1,999 (USD) depending on model. Before buying please see the fScanX product page for more information about which scanners and features are supported by the current version. In addition to support for new scanner models, version 1.8.4 has several bug fixes and is a recommended update for all customers using 64-bit Intel Mac models and OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later.
