Where is Sorenson products? Buzzcard? ntouch?
ReplyDeleteMost of Sorenson production/products has not been that impressive...however, I admit that I have not tried Buzzcard and it actually looks and feels like and excellent application. Give me afew days to test it out and I'll let you know what I think.
ReplyDeleteTunewiki is similar to an app called SoundHound. It works the same way. Im not sure which is better but I thought it would be good for you to know. Good list of apps. Most of them I has except for a few. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat list Thomas!
ReplyDeleteAm I right in guessing the ranking is your personal opinion? It would be really cool if you could demonstrate the reach of these products within the Deaf community, what saturation percentage or something like that. For one thing it would help convince businesses that there is economic sense in creating accessibility tools, and it would also show developers, activists, and entrepreneurs what kinds of features are the most popular. Then new applications can be created that build on success.
In particular, I am thinking about emergency management - warning, response and recovery from disasters, and also about integrated online education, where Deaf and Hearing learn about the same content and also about each other at the same time.
Thanks for putting this together - exciting stuff!
oops - reading too fast, too early :-( can you edit your name in my previous comment (and delete this goofy one?!) - pretty pretty please? I'm responding to yadudesup - retweeting upcoming!
ReplyDelete(Or, you can leave it all so people can see the attempt at repair - ha, I'm collecting lessons in humility these days!)
Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI looked into it, but I can't edit other people comments; I can only list the comments as spam or completely delete them. So, I'm gonna go with the latter option and leave it so all people can see the attempt at repair ;-) And yes, you are correct that these are my personal opinions. Although, I don't have a mass following yet to setup a poll and allow my readers to vote on what they think were the best apps of 2011...maybe next year? Who knows? I do love your comment about how it would be great to know what the saturation percentage is for a specific app since that would, without a doubt, and in your own words, "convince businesses that there is economic sense in creating accessibility tools, and it would also show developers, activists, and entrepreneurs what kinds of features are the most popular".
Thanks for your comments! :-)
Thank you for sharing your list, Thomsen! Out of curiosity, how many apps do you review prior to determining the top 10? What do you think about the Shazam application in comparison to TuneWiki? Also, what about the CapTel app in comparison to ClearCaptions?
ReplyDeleteSure is a great list of app.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomsen - I do like your list and appreciate you tried to fix my goof and - failing that - no flame! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've got a good interactive base even if your readership isn't huge (yet). Keep it up!
best,
steph
I downloaded Tap-Tap and I strongly recommend not to download this! IT is one awful piece of c**p! 3 dollars down in the drain.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Convo Mobile?
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the fabulous app, just having issue with Netflix as they doesn't have everything that just came out.
ReplyDeleteI am planning to buy a new iphone but my main concern is that i dont know anything about good apps for iphone. but now with this post i can get the best apps for iphone and i like it very much. Thanks
ReplyDeleteShow us the steps you took to learn how to make apps. For example, what languages did you learn and what other programs did you use besides IPhone SDK. I'm really hoping to hear from you soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Very interesting to see. I usually do not read blog, but this post definitely caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very useful. Thank you so much for providing plenty of useful content. I have bookmark your blog site and will be without doubt coming back. Once again, I appreciate all your work and also providing a lot vital tricks for your readers.
ReplyDeleteGreat list of apps! I would also like to add these useful iPhone apps for the Deaf:
ReplyDeleteDeafPals - A free social networking site for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing.
Deafbook.Net mobile - It allows users to interact with one another while on the go!
