Few Hints to Help While You Buy a Digital Camera
Buying a digital camera is a breeze but buying a 'good' digital camera could be tricky, especially when there are thousands of models from different manufacturers around. Here are a few tips that might come handy while searching for a digital camera online.
Photography is an art that anybody, even people who lack the natural gift of clicking pictures, can learn. Who doesn't love looking at a great picture? Be it at home doing daily chores, walking down the neighborhood street, an outdoor sports event, a trip to an exotic location etc., a well captured image redefines that moment to its viewers who behold it later. Apart from being a hobby for many across the globe – young and old, male and female, photography is a major profession chosen by a lot of people almost everywhere.
The output or result of a snapshot surely depends a lot on the skill of the one behind the camera. However, modern technology has come up with ways to enable anybody regardless of their lack of photography skills to take good pictures. The coming of digital cameras has by far simplified photography. It would not be far-fetched to say that with one of the excellent digital cameras in hand, even kids in the kindergarten can grab great pictures.
Having said that, here is an interesting point. With the wide availability of digital cameras, taking shots has become very easy, but finding a genuinely good digital camera with value for every penny is surprisingly hard today. One reason for this is the fact that there are too many choices available. It becomes hard to narrow down to just one camera when there are hundreds of them with something unique in each. While it is good to get one at discounted price allowing you to save, it is also crucial that you take a look under the hood, which goes without saying, before you pay for it.
While looking at the features and functions of a camera, it is important that you have a clear knowledge of the way you intend to use the camera. In other words, you need to be sure where and how you will be using the camera. This should narrow down the eligible models considerably. For example if you are a frequent traveler, an AA battery operated one is handier than the lithium-ion battery operated ones.
Resolution of the camera is the basic and naturally first feature people look into while buying a camera. No doubt a higher megapixels camera always has more chance of capturing better pictures, but that should not be the only factor that determines the camera. It is a good way to to start looking at it first but along with that a good camera needs to incorporate other features too.
An equally important feature is the zoom function. It can make a lot of difference while taking shots as the object of your target doesn't always pose for the shutter at the same distance. If the object or person is too far away you will have to get closer physically to get a clearer shot. While doing so the target would have been already moved or the moment is already gone, but with more zooming ability, you can do away with the distance in seconds. Therefore, more the zooming ability, better the camera.
In addition, other automatic features like face & smile detection, image sensors, color modes, scene modes and many more that make grabbing images easy and and quick, delivering good outputs should be taken in to consideration. So, while you look for the cheapest digital camera that also grabs great images, know what you want and go to review sites and compare a lot.

The phone’s processor and motherboard are much more delicate and sensitive than a hardy PC or laptop. Protecting your phone with mobile apps downloaded for virus protection is vital. These are the top mobile apps that protect your smart phone from all kinds of damage:
Lookout Mobile Security: This neat phone antivirus is perhaps among the most popular mobile apps downloaded to protect your phone. This software also has an inbuilt locator function that allows you to ping your mobile from the net and activate a siren. Misplace or lose your phone anywhere, and activate the siren to find it easily!
Phone Spam Blocker: This cool phone antivirus lets you block and log all spamming and annoying calls and texts. With this neat tool in your device, you can block and log each call made by maddening telemarketers and report them to authorities. Daily number updates, and smart suspicious number prediction allows you to be hassle free and save precious time!
Super Security: It is less powerful than the ‘Lookout’ software, but this amazing mobile application allows you all the functions of a good antivirus on your phone. It has malware removal, strongbox, quarantine folders, upgrades, and also a mobile locator like the ‘Lookout’!
Anti-Virus Laser: Ok, gaming combined with phone security is possibly an expected development of smart phone technology! Perhaps one of the most innovative mobile apps downloaded to you phone for non recreational purposes, the Anti-Virus Laser is fun as well! Just guide a laser of the matching color to destroy viruses represented by colored sparks! Cool, innovative, and efficient, the free version itself has 10 levels of protection!

These mobile apps downloaded on your phone protects you device from the constant threat of malicious attacks from viruses. Some viruses are powerful enough to disable your phone completely! Ensure you device’s performance and security by downloading mobile applications like these top stars.
Text-to-Speech: Reading Tool to IVR
Most famously, TTS is what Stephen Hawking, who suffers from Lou Gehrig’s disease, uses to speak.
TTS goes back to the 1939 World’s Fair and the introduction of the Voder synthesizer, which was the first machine to electronically create speech. In 1961, Bell Labs demonstrated the first speech synthesis by a computer.
In the mid-1980s, Stephen Hawking first began using a custom speech synthesizer attached to his wheelchair. Hawking uses software that enables him to choose words from menus using a switch in his hand, then use a speech synthesizer to vocalize the words.
With this technology, Hawking has been able to write several books, give frequent lectures and even narrate a television show. Perhaps because of his disability, he has one of the most recognizable voices around.
However, TTS’s most common use is in the IVR industry, where it has long been a staple of the technology. In IVR systems, TTS translates the text in call flows into messages transmitted to callers into the system. While most IVR systems also incorporate recording technology to transmit recorded messages, TTS enables call-flow designers to quickly create call flows with any text they need.
While early researchers envisioned TTS as a learning tool for reading disabilities or a way for the blind to enjoy books, today’s researchers are working to find uses in an array of industries including business, entertainment and medicine as well as education.

Text-to-Speech Versus Human Voice-Over
Text-to-speech (TTS) and human voice-over are integral to many educational institutions and all interactive voice response (IVR)TTS and voice-over enable educational institutions to design courses and disseminate them on a large scale. They enable organizations to design call flows for IVR systems and deliver messages to a virtually unlimited number of callers 24 hours a day, every day.
But which is better? It depends on the situation and your needs.
TTS:
TTS is faster…It enables script designers to write and edit their course lessons or call flows and have them up and running almost immediately. Voice-over usually requires more time to hire a voice-over expert and record all the necessary script.
TTS is more adaptable…Because script designers can create and edit scripts at a faster pace, they can keep up with the changes that inevitably occur.
A company may want to change its product offerings or services to react to market demands and immediately incorporate those changes into their IVR script. An educator may need to change a course in light of a new study or technology change (think groundbreaking study that changes the way educators think about a subject or a software update that requires new scripts for a training class).
No need for voice-over talent...Not everyone can do voice-over because it requires a good voice with an easy-to-understand accent (the least amount of accent possible).
Because of that, most organizations need to hire a professional, which takes time and money, especially factoring in changes (you have to track down the original voice talent to keep the voice in a script uniform, and you have to re-record whole sections even if you’re only changing a few words).
Voice-over:
Voice quality…Years ago, TTS messages were very robotic and monotone, and although the technology has improved dramatically in the last few years to become more natural (and will continue to do so), it still at this point has a less human feel to it.
For messaging that requires high inflection and emotions like excitement or empathy (think an educational program for small children who might become bored with a monotone voice
