Analyse and interpret facial expressions by mirroring face-halves. With great surprise and fun factor! Create a double-left and a double-right face from your face or that of your friends to show the differences between your left and your right half of your face. Which resulting face is more likeable and which is less likeable, left or right? Why do we hardly see the differences in everyday life when they are often crass? Are your body and your psyche in balance? Does the asymmetry make you more exciting, your face more interesting? Which half of your face is your public, action, controlled one and which side is your private, emotional side? Is it the same for all people? Easy to use tool! Saves a lot of work and time. Features: • List of people and faces • fast and good results with few finger movements • you can mirror both face-halves together (dependent) or separately (independent) • simple clipping of the result images • export and send the result images wherever you want • Websites with more informations and explanations about facial expressions and face-half mirroring or double face-halves Thanks for supporting us!

You're facing difficult texts and wish they were easier to understand? This app is exactly what you need! Whether in inclusive education, for beginning readers, or for anyone who appreciates clear and understandable language - with just one click, complicated becomes simple. The Text Simplifier app makes difficult texts easier and translates them to plain language and easy read. Then the texts are easier to read and understand. And if you need help reading, the app can also read words to you. To do this, just follow along under the words with your finger. This app is for people with reading difficulties or beginning readers. It can also be very helpful in inclusive classroom instruction. There are then fewer barriers due to difficult texts. You have several options for simplifying texts: 1. Enter text: You can write a text, speak (dictate) or copy from another source. When you press the "Simplify Text" button, the text becomes simpler. 2. Take a picture of a text: You can take a photo of a text, for example from a book or worksheet. Then the app can read you the text or simplify it. 3. Internet texts: If you are reading on the internet and want a easy to read text, just press the "Simplify Texts" button. The app is actually very suitable for children and beginning readers, but due to the integrated browser, Apple recommends it only from age 17+, as any web page can be accessed. The app can do even more: - The app can read along with you. For this you have to use your reading finger. Move your finger along under the text as you read. And turn on the speaker. The app will then help you read. - The app can also read the entire text to you. If you want, the words are even highlighted as they are read. - You can long press on a word if you don't understand it. An explanation will then be displayed and read aloud (please turn on speaker). - You can make the letters bigger or smaller. - You can decide how simple the text should be. This is done in the settings. - Web pages can be displayed in "Reader Mode". Only the text and images are shown (without text simplification). Ads and menus are not shown. ## Tip: How to improve the voice! ## The iOS voice sometimes doesn't sound very good. You can simply use a different voice. To do this, go to the "Settings" app. Then to "Accessibility". Then select "Spoken Content" and then "Voices". Now you can select and download other voices. The enhanced voices sound especially good. ## Privacy ## Texts are processed on a server in the EU under European law. They are stored only briefly for processing and are not used to train AI models. Please still avoid entering personal data. On devices with Apple Intelligence, texts can also be simplified entirely on the device. Then they never leave it, which is ideal for confidential documents such as official letters or medical reports, and it uses no credit. ## What does it cost? ## The app is ad-free. Each simplification via the cloud AI costs some money, which is why the app costs something. Once you've purchased the app, you can simplify about 600 - 900 texts (depending on length). If you need more, you can buy additional credit via in-app purchase. You can also use the app with your own API key. Then only the API provider's costs apply and you don't need to buy credit.
