PLANKY vs VoiceForge Reader

Planky is a fun and engaging app that lets users design custom patterns using carpet tiles straight from the Woodland Collection (C) by EnduraStran. Set your canvas to your room's dimensions and start designing! Using the built-in plank calculator, keep track of how many planks are needed to complete your installation once it's finished. By rotating or offsetting planks, create solid or alternating patterns, fade one color into another, your imagination is the limit! Once you're done, save your patterns or share them to the community gallery.

VoiceForge Reader is a premium personal reading assistant that transforms text, scanned printed documents, and Safari web pages into natural-sounding speech. Paste text directly into the application, snap a photo of any physical page using the built-in document scanner, or use the Share Extension from Safari and Notes to read and translate your content instantly. KEY FEATURES: • Direct Text-to-Speech (TTS): Stream clear, natural-sounding audio sentence-by-sentence. • On-Device OCR Scanner: Use the device camera to scan books, letters, or printouts.
