Interesting Input Apps
(233)On my iPhone, there are several interesting input apps that I have installed that are quite useful, even though I don’t actually make use of them as often as I thought I would when I first purchased/downloaded each respective app.
One is a barcode scanner app. This app, like you would guess, allows me to scan a barcode. In addition to giving me the numerical code behind the image, it will also attempt to tell me what item it was that I scanned, as well as to list prices from prominent retailers.
Another cool one is the panoramic picture app. I take a short 30 second or so video and then it allows me to create a panoramic photograph from the video, all on its own. It’s pretty cool, although for some reason the resolution of the photos turns out quite low - if that weren’t the case I think that I would use it much more often.
Another one is the scanner machine app. I can take a picture of a piece of paper and then it will turn it into a PDF. It will cut out the rest of the image and realign the sizing/scaling of the paper so that it looks exactly as if I scanned it. It is really cool and works really well, it’s just that at the moment I don’t have as many papers that I need to scan.
