Wunderlist - No I didn't spell that wrong! Its a "u"

This is my all time favorite todo app. Its free, simple to use and works on all types of computers, phones, and tablets; Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry. It syncs automatically, if you add tasks on one device or computer it automatically is added on all of your devices and computers. If you mark something as done or delete something that changes everywhere too, so simple and its free on all the app stores and at www.wunderlist.com to install on your computer. You can also set reminders or share lists or todo items with others but you don't have to. I never share mine. I really like that you can add different categories for each list of todo items; home, work, shopping, groceries, etc. Here is a good short 1 minute video from youtube. Again, No! I'm not selling anything! Really!

KNFB Reader - Snap a picture and it starts reading


Here is a free app in the Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets, $139 in the App Store for iPhones, iPods, and iPads. The app reads any text aloud, all you do is snap a picture and it starts reading. Great for saving documents to read later or have them read aloud to give your eyes a break. It is also useful for people who are blind or visually impaired, or anyone who has trouble with reading. You do not need the stand used in this video you can just take a photo holding the phone as usual. Watch this short 2 minute video from Youtube.

Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional Individual version 14.

Dragon Naturally Speaking is the most accurate speech recognition software you can buy, you talk and it types everything you say. The Home version normally sells for around $100 and the Premium version normally sells for $200 at most retailers that sell software, Staples, Bestbuy, The Source etc. They now sell a more expensive version for $300 which of course has more features and is even more accurate. I haven't tested it yet but it does look interesting. It is currently on sale for $99, here is a short 2 minute video showing their latest Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional Individual version 14. I have version 13 and it is amazing. Again I should mention I am not affiliated with any of the suppliers of any of the products I discuss on this site, so you can trust that if I say I like something it is because I do, not because I am being paid.
