Record Phone Calls on Android with MP3 InCall Recorder & Voice



There are times when we wish to record our phone conversations, it can happen for lot of reasons say you want to have some proof of what is being told to you like in a contract or may be just you need to preserve the chat with your loved one. I have come across many situations when I wished there was something in my phone that can recordthe phone calls but however smart our phones may be they don’t come with any such tool by default.
Thanks to third party apps we can improve the functionality of our phones by installing these kinds of apps. Here is one called as “MP3 InCall Recorder & Voice” and as the name of the app suggests, it is used to record your phone calls and conversations of both sides into playable mp3 files. Not only the voice calls, the app is also capable of acting as a voice recorder too.

Play videos while exploring others


Hyper for YouTube Windows 8/RT app lets you play videos while exploring others


We have seen many awesome YouTube apps in Store like the MetroTube and the Tube Download but, all of the apps in Store are missing one or another feature. Some of the apps include the features to view videos, rate and comment on them whereas, others include the options to download videos for free and customize home screens.
But, one thing which I noticed in all of the apps, in-fact, the official YouTube YouTube apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone (not Windows 8 since no official app is available yet) lets you play videos but, if you go to explore other videos then, the video being played will stop playing.
The YouTube web interface also doesn’t allow exploring and searching other videos while playing a single one unless you are using multiple-tabs. I really miss that multi-tasking feature in which I can view one song while searching for others but, it couldn’t be found anywhere until I found an awesome Windows 8/RT app.

Generate Self Destructing One-Time Text and Media Messages


There are occasions when you want to send some confidential information like a message or a media to someone but at the same time you would want that the message can’t be forwarded or shared with others. While it is not advisable to share any confidential information over text with someone, if you have no other option than sending then you should try the self destructing messages.
Self destructing messages are the messages that destroy themselves after some specified time period thereby leaving no trace behind. There are various services for generating self destructible messages; today we are sharing one such service called ReadOnce.
read-once-self-destructing-messages
ReadOnce is an online service for generating one-time only messages. The message will destroy itself after a certain period of time without any notice. The time period is set up by you when creating a message. ReadOnce can not only send text but also media files like audio, video and images in a single message. Moreover the service can be used with any other service like Facebook, WhatsApp and Skype etc.
How to use ReadOnce
1. To generate a one time self destructible message, visit the ReadOnce website, create a New Message.
2. Then you need to set the time in seconds (and milliseconds).
readonce-set-time
3. Next you need to either write the secret text or upload a media file of not more than 5MB size.
readonce-write-message
4. If you wish to mask the URL being generated, click the option of bit.ly in the next step else leave it blank.
Now when you click the Generate button, two links will be generated which would be Public and Private. Private link is for your own use and will take you to the message dashboard for next 5 days after which the message will be removed whereas the Public link is for sharing with others.
When someone clicks on the public link shared by you, they will be redirected to the ReadOnce site and will see the message for the time set by you after which the message will be destroyed permanently. You can also renew the message at your end even after 5 days and share with the others.
If you liked the service then you can try it from the link below.

Make Windows 8 speak out the time every hour


We have already seen how we can make Windows welcome us with an audio voice message during logon. Using the same commands, we will see how we can make Windows 8 tell us the time every hour. This can be especially useful if you tend to lose track of time while working.

Make Windows 8 speak out the time every hour

First open Notepad and copy-paste the following:
Dim speaks, speech 
speaks=hour(time) 
Set speech=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice") 
speech.Speak speaks
Save it as a .vbs file. If you wish, you can download the ready-to-use file by clicking here.
Next type schedule tasks in search and click on the schedule tasks result, to open the Task Scheduler.
ts 1 400x231 Make Windows 8 speak out the time every hour
Under Action, select Create Task. Give the task a name. I have given it SpeakTime.
speak time 400x348 Make Windows 8 speak out the time every hour

Set the Trigger parameters as shown in the image. One time – Start date & time, Repeat task every 1 hour, Duration – Indefinitely, and so on.
ts 2 400x367 Make Windows 8 speak out the time every hour
Under Actions, click New button. The New Action box will open. Select the action Start a program and browse to the vbs file to set the path.
ts 4 Make Windows 8 speak out the time every hour
You may change the change some parameters under the Conditions and Settings tabs – else you may leave them at their defaults.
Click OK and Exit.
Now every hour, Windows or rather Microsoft David will speak out the time to you…11…12…! If you don’t like Microsoft David, you may opt to hear the voice of Microsoft Hazel or Microsoft Zira instead, via Control Panel > Text to Speech tab under Speech Properties.
This will of course work on Windows 7 and earlier versions too.

Hindi typing is something which was always a mode of confusion for me. Being an Indian I often need to use the Hindi typing, may it be for some kind of school projects for my kids or designing some event invitation or anything else.HindiWriter is the freeware which solved my problem completely.

What is HindiWriter

hindiwrite icon HindiWriter: A Hindi Writer Software   Review & Free Download
HindiWriter is a freeware which allows you to type in the Hindi language without installing new fonts or memorizing a special Hindi keyboard layout. This software uses the Indic language fonts which comes pre-installed with the Windows PCs. You just need to download and install the freeware on your Windows PC and it converts your English words to Hindi with just a few clicks.
It is a compact and useful freeware with advanced utility to translate English language to the equivalent Hindi words. With a user-friendly interface this program is very easy to use. The program uses a “phonetic” scheme of Hindi typing, which actually means that you have to type the word in English on your keyboard according to the phonetic sound of the word in Hindi. For example if you want to type ’bharat’ in Hindi; you have to type ‘bharat’ on your English keyboard.
HindiWriter not just help you typing in Hindi, but also provides the Spell Check and Auto Word Lookup. The program works on the iTrance scheme of translation to translate your English words to corresponding Hindiwords. HindiWriter includes the feature of ‘Find’ but I missed the SpellCheck options which is often available in every grammar checking software.

HindiWriter supports various applications in Windows PC which include:
  • Microsoft Office
  • Internet Explorer
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Notepad
  • Outlook
  • Yahoo /Microsoft Messenger
  • Email services

 How to use Hindi Writer

  • Download and install the program on your system.
  • Open the application you want to use HindiWriter in. Let’s take WordPad as an example here.
  • Launch WordPad, double-click on the HindiWriter icon and press Shift (hold the key) and press Pause Break key on your keyboard.
  • When you start HindiWriter, you will notice an icon in your taskbar notification area.
  • The program will now convert your English words to Hindi as you type.  It has its own HindiWriter keyboard map which you can see just by clicking on the ‘question mark’ on the bottom right of your window.
  • Press Shift+PauseBreak again to go back to English.
