Mobile apps aren’t just to fill our phones or eat the memory space. We need one because you want to accomplish one of the many tasks that must get done. Sometimes, you just need one to make life comfortable and hassle-free.
The year 2018 looks bright and positive the tech industry ended the year with a bang. New devices, improved face and voice recognition, different interfaces, and bitcoin gives digital marketing Philippines a lot of catching up to do. On the other hand, us user don’t have to wait another year to find the functions we long in apps. Here are three apps we wished we had back then but are available now.
1. Samsung’s Weemogee
Recent years, we had text-to-speech. The rise and development of voice recognition algorithm and voice user interface (VUI) led to the birth of Weemogee.
Weemogee, a chat app developed by Samsung, translates phrases or conversations into emojis. Each symbol bears weight as emojis are somehow a language of their own. The app is useful if you struggle with written words. No idea with how to drop the bomb to a crush? Type in what you want to say and let the app do the work for you.
Unfortunately, emoji-speak is an informal way to converse with others. Avoid sending an emoji-filled conversation or to clients unless you plan to get fired. On the bright side, people with aphasia can benefit from the app. Aphasia is a neurological disorder that prevents a person from producing and understanding speech.
Hence, the app isn’t complicated to use. It has the same predictive text features from other favorite messaging apps, such as iMessage and Facebook Messenger. It’s currently available for Android users. The iOS version is still in the works.
