NameForge vs Pluma

NAMEFORGE - MODERN MENTALISM, FORGED TO PERFECTION Created by professional mentalist Paul Brook, NameForge is a cutting-edge mentalism tool that transforms a simple word into a powerful, personalised moment of mentalism. Take a name - typed, spoken*, or selected - and instantly generate a compelling acrostic, where the first letter of each line spells out the original word. It feels deeply personal to your participant, yet the method remains entirely invisible. Whether you’re performing on stage, close-up, or over video, NameForge delivers genuine impact - without giving away your secrets. CUSTOMISED INPUT AND OUTPUT, SEAMLESS DELIVERY Any word can be inputted into NameForge, which will then be turned into an acrostic - where the first letter of each word creates another word. After the acrostic is made, it can then be sent virtually anywhere you want, via the predefined outputs, or use the customisable outputs to send to somewhere specific. PRO FEATURES FOR WORKING PERFORMERS Enhance your routines with optional Pro features (In-App Purchases): • Apple Watch Peek – discreet reveals on your wrist • Voice Input – speak the word aloud to create the acrostic • Camera Input – show a written word to any of your phone's cameras to input it • Unforged Sending – send unformatted words to any integration • Search Result Output – make their phone show your prediction • Add More API Outputs – connect to more integrations COMMUNITY-DRIVEN SHARING Profiles and word lists can be shared between performers with ease, letting you explore and perform community-favourite routines in seconds. CONSTANTLY EVOLVING NameForge is packed with tools and always evolving - ready to help you create miracles, anywhere, anytime. *Voice Input requires the ‘Voice Input’ In-App purchase.

Pluma is a fresh take on an impression board app, connecting to the boards you may already own. It offers dramatically better text recognition and powerful features, whilst simultaneously being dramatically better designed. Together, it's more powerful yet easier to use than the core apps offered by most impression boards. It also connects with my suite of apps as well as many third party apps, devices and services, enabling brand new routines never before possible. Features include: ** Advanced AI Text and Drawing Recognition Pluma AI offers best-in-class AI recognition, which can detect handwritten text AND drawings, in any orientation. ** Multiple Board support (beta) Receive peeks from up to four impression devices simultaneously! ** Earworm Integration Make a prediction in the YouTube app on your spectator's phone. Then, have your spectator write the name of any song on the impression pad. Pluma AI integrates with Earworm to do the rest: they just turn up the volume on the spectator's phone to find the chosen song playing in their YouTube app! ** Supports Multiple Board Types Currently supports boards from Lumen Pro, Iarvel, Pitata, Ultra Sharpie, Ultra Sharpie Neo, Oblivious Engage, PMA and Wave, with more brands added over time. ** Offline Text Recognition For times when there's no signal, Pluma includes excellent realtime offline AI text recognition at no extra charge. ** PeekSmith Integration Pluma connects directly to PeekSmith, letting you get your peek during performance. ** Lumen Duo Integration Pluma also connects directly to Lumen Duo, letting you get your peek even more covertly. ** Earpiece Support Pluma can automatically speak the recognised text to your covert earpiece. ** Apple Watch App Get your peek on the custom built Apple Watch app, with optional covert mode. ** Notifications Compatible with any Bluetooth peek device that supports third party notifications. ** Bridge & Inject Integration Automatically send your peek to the Bridge or Inject apps, which integrates Pluma with many magic apps, services and devices. ** Powerful Features, Easy To Use Pluma brings multiple, advanced innovations from my previous apps (such as Touch To Peek and app integration via polling), whilst simultaneously built to be easy to use and understand. ** Much More Pluma offers features to automatically scale, automatically send peek data and automatically clear. It offers per-board calibration settings, AI optimisation settings, intuitive history features, auto-save to photos, board battery indicatiors, and much, much more.
