Draw or McClim May 7th, 2022
Patrick Stein

Someone helpfully pointed out that the functionality that I was looking for when I made my Draw Library already exists in McClim. I feel like someone else reminded me of this a year or two ago. I forgot to look into it then. But, I will definitely look into it now.

I had a block thinking of McClim as windowing/GUI and overlooking its screenshot and print functionality.

Animal Artwork and More Languages in iPhone Spelling App March 29th, 2010

I just finished up some animal artwork for my iPhone Spelling Toy. I also added translations for Japanese and German (in addition to the English, French, and Spanish that were already there). After I double-check the translations, I will get it uploaded to the App Store.

If you have any expertise in Spanish, French, German, or Japanese, I’d appreciate any feedback you can give me about the words I chose in those languages. Would they be the word one would think of when shown the picture? Thanks, in advance.

Thinking in the Car June 18th, 2009

I think best while driving. Unfortunately, I rarely have time to get my thoughts down in text when I get back home.

There are a couple iPhone apps that claim to have voice-to-text: QuickVoice PRO w/Voice2Text, reQall, and Jott. It seems that reQall and Jott require me to sign up for their web services. reQall has both a free and a pay web service. Jott only seems to have a pay service. So, I will probably try them in that order until I find one that I like or get frustrated with the whole process.

It seems that QuickVoice PRO uses SpinVox to do their voice-to-text. I am not impressed with the test message. I said, This is just a test. open parenthesis foo close parenthesis. The email that I got back says:

This is just a test of open(?) friends to see who close friends to see. – spoken through SpinVox

Earlier, I gave a sneak peek at some artwork for the children’s spelling game I am making for the iPhone. Here is a screenshot of the application (click for full size):

I need to touch up the jaunty logo tiles in the upper left. Some of them are worse for the wear after the perspective transformations and rotations. More to follow….
