SPECTRUMVIEW PLUS Visualise, in real time, the frequencies that you can hear around you and even those you cannot with SpectrumView Plus, your dynamic audio companion for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. SpectrumView provides a high-quality, real-time spectrogram and spectrum analyser display, with a configurable sample rate and frequency resolution. You can use this application to measure the highest tones you can sing, obtain visual feedback of the frequencies in your speech, identify an annoying sound, calibrate musical instruments and all sorts of acoustic analysis. Here's what it can do for you: · Refresh Spectrogram. Allows users to refresh the spectrogram so that it clears the spectrogram that had already been displayed. · Change min and max scale. Allows users to set their own minimum and maximum scale value on the spectrogram and spectrum analyser view, in both linear and log scale. · Set Recording filename. Recording filenames are editable and the suffix can be set to have an incremental value or date/time. · Generate snapshot of the spectrum data from playback and live recordings. · Access recordings and snapshots using the "Files" app. All the data can be easily accessible using the "Files" app that is available from iOS 11. · Web File Transfer. Allows you to access your files from another device using a web browser. · Logarithmic scale. Allows you to set either linear or logarithmic frequency scales in the Spectrogram and Spectrum Analyser views. · Peak hold. Allows you to freeze and hold the peaks of the frequency envelope (three holds in three distinct colours) in Spectrum Analyser mode. · Save location. Never forget where a clip was recorded – uses the devices location services. · Auto lock disabled. During playback and recordings auto lock is disabled to prevent the device from automatically locking (if enabled), for uninterrupted recording/playback · Multiple selectable sample rates from 8,000 Hz to 48,000 Hz · High-frequency resolution with configurable signal analysis window lengths or Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) orders. · Sound intensity represented using a colour spectrum scale from -96 dBFS to 0 dBFS. · Frequency Pinch-to-Zoom. Allows you to zoom into the frequency space to look at a specific tone or frequency. · Recording and Playback of Audio Files. Provides a fully functional audio recorder that allows you to record, pause and play back files in high-quality, uncompressed, wave format. · Tap Data Cursor. Allows taps on any part of the Spectrogram or Spectrum Analyser display to obtain the exact frequency in Hertz (Hz) and level in decibels (dB) at that point. · Musical Notes or Frequency Display on Tap. Selectable frequency or musical pitch notation to obtain the cent-accurate musical note e.g. A4 (22), when the display is tapped. · Live Spectrogram and Spectrum Analyser Views of Recorded Files. Files recorded can be played back and the Spectrogram and Spectrum Analyser modes can be used to review the audio. · Sharing Recorded Files by Email or iTunes File-sharing. · High Quality Screenshots. · *Improved* Soundcloud support. Audio files can be uploaded to or downloaded from Soundcloud as well as being able to post audio to Facebook. · *NEW* Import audio from videos in your device library. · Fullscreen mode. Hide the menu at the bottom of the screen to get even more of the screen dedicated to frequency analysis. · Selectable spectrogram colour scales. You can now select one of 7 colour scales for your spectrogram. · Selectable window functions. You can now see the window function options provided. · Apply gain. A maximum of 24dB gain can be applied to make ‘hard to see’ details easier to view. · Open In. Audio files can be directly opened in SpectrumView. View files sent by email directly in SpectrumView.

Understood In Spanish is a complete Spanish course, A1 to C2, with real grammar explanations, speaking practice and typed answers. Every lesson is free, and every explanation is in your own language. EVERY LESSON IS FREE • 280 lessons across 70 units, from complete beginner (A1) to C2 • No hearts, no energy bars, no lessons locked behind a payment • The free version shows ads: a banner on the Learn and Review screens, and now and then a full-screen ad after you finish a lesson, review, quiz, drill, story, conversation or dialogue. Never during one. LEARN THROUGH YOUR OWN LANGUAGE Explanations, hints and translations are in the language you choose: 33 languages, including English, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, French and German. The Spanish you learn is the same in every language. REAL GRAMMAR, EXPLAINED • A plain-language explanation opens every lesson: why the words behave that way, not just what to tap • Ser vs estar, the subjunctive, por vs para: the hard things get the space they need • A searchable grammar library you can come back to any time • Read aloud: hear an explanation in your language, on phones that have a voice for it SPEAK IT, TYPE IT, HEAR IT • Speaking exercises use your phone's speech recognition and show you what they heard. They are always optional. • Typed answers, not only multiple choice, with a keyboard bar for accents • Every Spanish word and sentence is spoken by your phone's built-in voice PRACTICE THAT STICKS • Smart Review brings each word back just before you would forget it (spaced repetition based on SM-2) • Fix Your Misses turns the exercises you got wrong into a short session • Daily Workout: up to twelve items, once a day, from your due words and recent mistakes • 12 dialogues: two people talk, each in their own voice; tap any word for its meaning, then answer questions • 24 graded stories: tap any word for its meaning and audio • 18 conversations that correct you and explain why • Conjugation Gym: 64 verbs, seven tenses, drills and Fill the chart • Over 1,200 words and phrases • Flashcards for every unit, plus cards and quizzes you build yourself • A 164-phrase phrasebook for travel, food, work and small talk WORKS OFFLINE The whole course ships inside the app. No account, no sign-up. Lessons, stories and review work without a connection. Audio needs a Spanish voice on your phone, and speaking practice works offline only where your phone can recognize Spanish on the device. YOUR PROGRESS STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Streaks, XP, a 14-day chart and an achievement wall. There is no account and no server of ours: your progress is stored on your phone, and we never receive it. Export a backup file and import it on another phone or tablet, iPhone or Android; importing merges and never deletes. PRIVACY The app goes online only for ads in the free version (Google AdMob), for purchases through Apple and, on some phones, for speech recognition. The app never records or keeps your voice; depending on your phone, Apple may process the audio to recognize it. HOW THE COURSE IS MADE The course was written by AI and checked with automated tests and AI review, not by a human linguist. Translations other than English are machine-generated. PRO (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) Pro removes the ads. Nothing else is locked behind it: every lesson is free for everyone. • Pro Monthly: $0.99 a month • Pro Yearly: $5.99 a year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Prices shown are US pricing; your local price appears in the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
