Cards That Talk vs Hedonometer

**** This app requires Special Playing Cards that can be purchased at https://www.qrspeak.com If you have recently lost your eyesight, have been blind since birth, or have limited vision, enjoying playing cards can be hard to do. There is the option of braille cards but they are bulky to shuffle and if recently vison impaired you need to learn how to read the braille on the cards. We have created a new way of playing cards for the blind or vison impaired called Cards that Talk. You simply place the card under the camera on the apple device and it will read the card to you. You can wear an earpiece so only you know what cards you hold. Cards that Talk also features a continuous scanner so that once the app is started there is no need to touch the device again until you are done enjoying playing cards. There are buttons that you can either slow down the speed of the voice or speed it up depending on your preference. All that is left for you to do is enjoy playing cards again. Features - Continuous scanning; no tapping the screen after each card - variable speed control for voice - large start scanning button so no fumbling trying to find it Cards that Talk is free but will require our playing cards that can be purchased. Contact us at https://www.qrspeak.com and click the link to buy cards or we can answer any questions that you may have. The cards are professionally printed and will hold up like any other deck of cards. Since there is no braille on them they are smooth. This makes them easier to shuffle and to play with.

Hedonometer is a new app that displays Hedonometer.org's social media-based sentiment analysis - an innovative measure of social happiness. The graph displays up to three years of data. Previous years are overlayed year-to-date so you can compare a given data or date ranges to previous years. The language used for the sentiment analysis can be set with the language setting. You can also select various graph styles to help see the data that suites your preference. And you can toggle seeing the previous year or the year before that to be able to compare historical timelines, or just focus in this year’s data. You can explore data by tapping on the graph to display a cursor that you can move around by holding your finger down and sliding the cursor left or right. The app will show you the data at the cursor position. You can zoom the graph with the graph scale slider control. The scale ranges from 6 weeks to a full year. When you are zoomed in, you can swipe left or right on the graph to scroll to other areas of the graph. The Watch app displays the same interactive graph with similar controls. The Watch uses the crown wheel to zoom in and out of the graph when the cursor is not active, and moves the cursor when the cursor is enabled. The dark green area under the graph in the iPhone will show annotations for important events when you are exploring the happiness timeline data. The app supports Watch complications and iPhone widgets including the new iOS 16 Lock Screen widgets. Data for complications and widgets is automatically updated in the background, so there is no need to open or manually refresh the app to see the latest data. Hedonometer.org's data is updated once a day. The complications and widgets always show the most recent data using whatever time range scale you’ve set. The information displayed will be the most recent happiness index, plus the trends over the most recent two days…sort of like a social happiness barometer. Because Watch complications and Lock Screen widgets may be monochrome only, the app uses line weights and styling for displaying each of the three years - a thick line for most recent, a thin solid line for a year ago, and a dashed line for two years ago. The “More information” page provides information about the University of Vermont’s Hedonometer project and a bit more information about the app itself. We hope you enjoy!
