SpeechLab Wear is here!

SpeechLab Wear is here!

10/3/2020

 
Happy Scary Month, everyone! To kick off October 2020, I am excited to announce that I have released a new Wear OS app. This new app is called SpeechLab Wear, and it’s a text-to-speech app for your smartwatch!
What makes this particularly exciting is that I believe that this is one of (if not) the first TTS apps for Wear OS on the Play Store, at least available in the United States!

​Like its Android counterpart, SpeechLab Wear has a simple but useful user interface. You can easily enter text and have the artificial voice say it back to you, but the functionality doesn’t end there.

If you swipe up, you can access a handy little drawer that has several commonly used words and phrases. If you want to say “Hello” for example, you can swipe up and tap the “Hello” button. It’s simple and it saves time!
SpeechLab Wear is now available on the Play Store! Thanks for reading, and I hope you like this new app.

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...

Late 2014 Mac mini in 2022 - Still Worth Buying?

About a year ago, I reviewed the 2014 Mac mini on this blog. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it was still an excellent machine for productivity tasks, but it could also handle some more intense things you threw at it. Thus, it became my daily driver up until I upgraded to a 2017 MacBook Air a few months ago. That being said, I’ve still been using it some, so I thought I’d briefly share how it’s holding up these days. Here are my thoughts on this miniature Macintosh one year later! Performance  Over the last year, I’ve been impressed by how much this Mac can handle. It’s rocking a 2.6 GHz dual-core Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB SATA SSD. What all that jargon essentially means is that it’s a moderately powerful little computer, although it certainly isn’t going to put newer Macs to shame. Regardless, I’ve been able to do lots of coding, video editing, and schoolwork on this computer, and it has generally worked pretty well. Granted, it can take a while...
