Talking Tech for August 1 2023



Exploring Tech Webinar for Accessing the Printed Word now up on Youtube



Covering Magnification and print to speech from printed words on mail from the mail box, on packaging etc.

Apparently This has been a Thing for about a decade, ASMR



This is a physical response  in your body (tingling)to particular visual, audio or both stimuli for relaxation, mindfulness etc, and is experienced differently for each individual…



Here is a good intro article on ASMR:

And here is a good Youtube intro with examples and how it works without the initial whispering smile.

Search for ASMR in Apple Music or I’m assuming other music streaming services, and of course Youtube where There are over 13 million YouTube videos.

Remember lots and lots to choose from to find what you like.

I’ve also found a few skills on Amazon Echo for ASMR as well.



For me I’m specifically more of a music or nature sounds person, which is why I loved this app recommended to me called MyNoise when I was doing a bit of research on ASMR.



Amazing sound app, you can change all the elements of each sound track: eg all the different sound track elements: eg birds, waves, crowd noise all in the same track to get your best personal listening experience.

The MyNoise link for Android

My Quick Thoughts on the Shocks Open Fit Ear Phones



Sluggish with VoiceOver on iOS, slow response to gestures on the ear phones, a bit easy to knock off ears even with the ear hooks.

Sound itself isn’t to bad, and phone calls are clear.

Twitter Changing It’s Name/Apps to X



Twitter X renamed App Now on Both Android and iOS.

Confusing thing is, all the content inside the X app is still twitter smile.



Samsung Product Announcement



Yep, new Z Flip, Fold, galaxy S9 tablet, and Galaxy watch 6.

More of a tweet upgrade in most ways.
