Put your favorite pictures on your Apple Watch face. WatchAnything turns photos, graphics and text into complications – round or wide, on the watch faces you already love. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a picture: from Photos, the camera, Files or the clipboard – or use the built-in graphics and text • Frame it: choose round or wide and pinch to zoom. With faces in the picture, the crop sets itself • Send it: one tap and the picture is on your watch. Then touch and hold the watch face, tap Edit and choose WatchAnything BACKGROUND GONE IN ONE TAP "Cut out" removes the background. Family, dog or favorite subject stand out on the watch face. ART FOR YOUR WRIST Nearly 300 abstract graphics, round and wide. Tint them in any color to match your watch face or band, and combine several on one face. YOUR WORDS Names, initials or a favorite quote: type a text and pick font and size. Line breaks and size adjust automatically. CREATE WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE Where Apple Intelligence is available, create new pictures with Image Playground right in the app. ALBUMS AS SLIDESHOWS Put pictures in an album and the complication changes them at the pace you choose. The gallery keeps every picture, also for a new or second watch. FINISHING TOUCHES Filters for brightness, contrast and accent color, plus a soft edge for smooth transitions. PRIVATE No account, no tracking, no ads. Your pictures stay on your devices and in your private iCloud. When the watch is locked, WatchAnything shows nothing. ALL INCLUDED No in-app purchases, no subscription. Requires an iPhone with iOS 17 or later and an Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later – including older models from Series 4 and SE. Image Playground requires an iPhone with Apple Intelligence. WatchAnything shows pictures in complications on your watch faces; it does not replace entire watch faces.

Make Your Message Accessible to Everyone, Everywhere Provide real-time transcription and translation services to your audience, whether they are inside the venue or across the globe. Lecture Scribes is a breakthrough solution designed for individuals with hearing impairments and those who prefer to follow along in Spanish. The Distance Barrier is Gone: While many transcription tools require you to be near the speaker, Lecture Scribes works anywhere. Your audience can read your words in real-time from: • The same room or building. • The hallway or parking lot. • A different country entirely. Dual-Language Inclusivity: Break the language barrier instantly. Lecture Scribes empowers churches and businesses to provide live transcriptions and translations in both English and Spanish. By offering live or on-demand text, you ensure your message connects with every member of your audience. How the Two-App System Works: Our seamless technology ensures accuracy and accessibility on any mobile device: Lecture Scribes Server: This app "listens" to the speaker, converts speech to text in real-time, and streams the data directly to the cloud. Lecture Scribes (User App): An unlimited number of participants can follow the live stream on any iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Why It Matters: Whether it’s a business meeting, a classroom lecture, or a church service, Lecture Scribes ensures that location and hearing ability never stand in the way of your message. Reach your audience—anywhere, in any language. Cost-Effective Implementation: Implementation is simple and affordable. Your organization only needs one license for the Lecture Scribes Server app and basic hardware (such as a microphone or audio interface). Best of all, the Lecture Scribes app is completely free for your audience and congregation members on both iPhone and Android. How it Works 1. Capture & Stream (Lecture Scribes Server - LS Server) Using an iPhone or iPad, the Server app captures high-quality audio through a Bluetooth or USB microphone, a mixing board interface, or the device’s internal mic. It converts speech into highly accurate text and securely streams it to the cloud for instant Spanish translation and storage. 2. Follow Along (Lecture Scribes App) Audience members use the Lecture Scribes app on their own devices to view the live transcription in both languages. Whether they are sitting in the front row or tuning in from another continent, the text appears as the speaker talks. Never Miss a Word Live Engagement: Allows for immediate connection during the event. Use a projector: Instead of each audience member using their own device to display the transcript, hook a single Lecture Scribes iPhone, iPad or Android device to a projector so everyone can read. On-Demand Review: Missed the live session? Participants can access the full transcript afterward to review every detail. The Bottom Line: By using Lecture Scribes, you ensure every audience member has the opportunity to engage with your message—live, clear, and accessible. Lecture Scribes: Because everyone deserves to hear your message.
