About

Script Editor

Features
Read full description

Script Editor provides a unique format to edit and review text. It's holistic format was designed for scripting and fine-tuning of presentations and speeches. Script Editor targets magicians, comedians, actors, managers, politicians and anyone who has, or thinks he or she has something to say. Some features: - scripts are arranged in a matrix of boxes similar to the way text in comic magazines is organised. The idea is to start a new box for any new thread in your script. - this format is ideal for working out, that is: fine-tuning and rehearsing, speeches and presentations - the format also shows useful for shopping lists, poems, anything. - text can be imported from, or committed to memory. It can be pasted from, and to other applications, e.g. emails. Each paragraph ends up in its own text-box. - headers and type-assignments can be applied to boxes such as 'presenter says', 'spectator says' etc. - Text-, Action- and Structure-boxes are supported, named 'Views'. Each view-type comes in its own colour. - Views can be modularised. Modules can be expanded and recombined. The idea is to structure longer scripts into individual blocks. Script Editor is a subset of the Symbolic Editor, now addressing those who focus on the script and the spoken word.

Spectral turns images into sound โ€” and back again. Every photo has a unique acoustic fingerprint. Spectral encodes it into audio, transmits it through the air or as a file, and decodes it back into the original image on another device. MODES โ€ข Send โ€” encode any image or message into audio โ€ข Receive โ€” decode incoming audio back into an image or text โ€ข Listen โ€” record any sound and watch it become a spectrogram in real time โ€ข Sonify โ€” hear what your image sounds like โ€ข Archive โ€” your full transmission history HOW IT WORKS Play the encoded audio on one phone. Hold another phone's mic close. The image or message transfers โ€” no internet, no Bluetooth, no connection of any kind. Purely acoustic. Or share the WAV file directly for a lossless digital transfer. ENCRYPTED MESSAGES Add a passphrase to your text transmissions. Only someone with the passphrase can decode it. FULLY OFFLINE Spectral works entirely on your device. No servers. No accounts. No tracking. Nothing ever leaves your phone. 15 free transmissions included.
