Free Android  app that reads aloud historical markers to you when you drive by them

Hi. I made an app for the history buff in all of us that combines history and technology. It’s called Georeader (search under Georeader in the Android market). It allows one to write a short message (such as a historical sign’s text) and assign it to a gps location. When a user enters the area, the text is spoken on their phone. I was able to collect over 111,000 points covering roadside markers , historical bridges, even ufo sighting locations and have added them to the data base. It includes states such as Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Oregon, Michigan, and Pennsylvania's entire historical roadside marker collections plus a ton of other points to hear all over the country and even in Canada.  You can also make your own points and assign them to any location worldwide. These will be instantly added to the database for all to hear. They can be on almost any topic you like and its a great way to share your knowledge of local history with the rest of the world. Anyhoo, the website is at www.mygeoreader.com for even more info. It's a free app so there is nothing to lose. Please try it out. Thanks! Dave

    You can't run android apps on iOS devices.
    If you need access to kindle format books, download the kindle app from the Apple App Store.
    You cannot own load files, apps from the Internet.

    I looked at Bento and at first glance I think it would do everything I want it to do, then I saw a review or something from a customer that indicated the information in Bento could not be exported (say to send out a mailing).  I may want a program that can do that as well, is there one out there? If not it does look like Bento will work.  When you save a picture to a customer in Bento can you open it up full size?

  • I need an app that reads Windows Journal format .jnt

    HI, we use Windows Journal extensively & sometimes need to share docs with others using iPads. Trouble is, there doesn't seem to be an app that reads .jnt

    On the Windows machine, print the JNT to PDF.

    thank you

    I think every app can read Arabic except for MS Word for Mac.  For example, if you use Safari to go to
    http://www.ahram.org.eg/
    can you read it OK?
    Could you provide more details about what you are trying to read which is not working?

  • We have an app that reads "paused" beneath it.

    We have an app that reads "paused" beneath it.   I can't seem to delete it or open it or do anything with it for that matter.  I have tried syncing it with the computer and deleting it but still can not do anything with it.  What am I doing wrong? 

    Try a reset and see if it resumes loading after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I purchased a large app early 2012. It was updated late 2012 to support iOS 6 and iPhone 5. Unlike other apps that I've purchased which say "open" when I view them in the App Store, this one shews a full purchase price. I've deleted and downloaded this app before. If I delete it again will I be made to pay for it again? or will it download with everything anew? or will I lose the app?

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.

  • Sometimes I get a message that reads " UNSUPPORTED Accessory is not supported" when I plug in my bluetooth transmitter to my gen 6 nano. Other times it works fine. Is there a fix for this?

    Sometimes I get a message that reads " UNSUPPORTED Accessory is not supported" when I plug in my bluetooth transmitter to my gen 6 nano. Other times it works fine. Is there a fix for this?

    Have you checker the connectors on both the transmitter and Nano for any signs of damaged, corroded pins?  It might help to take a can of compressed air to each.  The error message may be simply a result of the iPod Nano not getting a full connection with the transmitter at first.

  • Is there a way to place markers in a multicam clip, and then have those same markers carry over when you select part of the clip for a project (or various projects)?

    Is there a way to place markers in a multicam clip, and then have those same markers carry over when you select part of the clip for a project (or various projects)?

    Thanks. Beforehand, I was double clicking on the multicam clip and forced to make a marker on either the Cam A or B. I realize now that I can do it in the Event Browser. THANK YOU.
    Considering I may create >20 markers per clips for around 10 different interviews, I wish there was a way to bring the Event Brower to the bottom half of the FCPX windows, to resemble the screen orientation when I'm working in an actual project (one could do this in iMovie), and this way the markers could be listed to the left without having all the other event clips around it. Is that clear? Is that possible?

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I am trying to access tax forms from the IRS.  I download them to my comuter and they read fine (version XI).  However, when iItry to open them on another computer (version 4) they will not open.  Version 4 opens all other documents fine, just no the ones

    I am trying to access tax forms from the IRS.  I download them to my comuter and they read fine (version XI).  However, when iItry to open them on another computer (version 4) they will not open.  Version 4 opens all other pdf documents fine, just not the ones from the IRS.  Any ideas?

    Version 4 is oh so old.
    The IRS and many other providers of forms are using products like LIveCycle which require at least version 7.05.

  • [iPhone/iPad] Newspaper app that reads from PDFs on a server

    I've just been asked to build an app for iOS that reads our local newspaper. I'm a newcomer to developing iOS apps, but I'm a quick study and I hear around a lot that it's pretty simple. So accordingly, I'd like it to be as simple as possible, no bells and whistles, just straight to the point.
    I've already done some basic research on developing iOS apps, so I kind of understand how it works. I'm just posting here to get some answers from actual people instead of doing an aimless, mindless search on the Internet.
    Here's what I want it to do:
    • Use the same log in credentials from the parent website to gain access to the iOS version of the newspaper.
    • Display a scalable digital version of the newspaper pages (like a PDF) so that it's readable on both iPhone and iPad.
    • Access the website server (where the PDFs for the pages already are) to retrieve the PDFs and display them.
    Now, I know some about putting a simple app together, but I've never dabbled in retrieving and using data from the Internet, much less PDFs. The only way to read the paper online is to read those PDFs, we don't use RSS or anything.
    I know it's probably a lot to think about, but I guess I'm asking how simple or difficult it would be to develop this kind of app, and if it's simple, I'd like some pointers. Thank you in advance.

    The simplest option is to just have a special login page and navigation on your website that you can access directly from Safari, or through a UIWebView and let the user view the pdf's. You may not even need anything custom if the screen flow of you web site is the same as what you want from your app.
    As you become more sophisticated, you can consider downloading the PDF's for local caching and then displaying (if that is even necessary), creating a login screen in your app, and making a webservice call to authenticate, etc.
