eReflect Reports About The Pen That Can See If You Made A Spelling Error

eReflect Reports About The Pen That Can See If You Made A Spelling Error












New York City, NY (PRWEB) December 03, 2013

A German start-up company has developed Lernstift (German for “learning pen”), a Linux-computer based pen that using patent pending technology to detect spelling errors when the user writes out text in longhand on paper, or even in the air. In this short announcement, eReflect, developer of Ultimate Spelling™ software, recently discussed the educational potential of Lernstift and how such pioneering technologies can be used for improving spelling.

The Lernstift is still in development but available for pre-order. Using cutting-edge technology it seeks to help students with their spelling in a way that’s both reliable and fun; the pen vibrates each time a misspelling is recognized by the pen’s computer, urging the speller to reconsider the last word written.

Lernstift runs on an AAA battery. By using a non-optical motion sensor the pen is able to identify letters, symbols, and other characters. Its 3D technology allows the pen to recognize mistakes even if the pen holder draws or writes in the air. The computer-integrated pen is Wi-Fi powered allowing people to instantly check their handwriting on a connected device.

eReflect reports that such advanced spelling aid tools could be easily introduced in language classes for both native and non-native English speakers in an effort to provide reliable and instant feedback on misspellings. However, eReflect emphasized that while word processing spellcheckers and “smartpens” might let us save face by warning us about embarrassing misspellings, the most reliable go-to spellchecker is the brain. Having a firm grounding in spelling rules and orthography will let people confidently write both on computers and paper without worrying about a misspelling getting away.

eReflect predicts that in a few years time, such smartpens might be a common spelling aid in schools, offices and other fields where handwriting is used. Especially for young spellers, such learning aids might facilitate and even accelerate spelling learning thanks to its instant feedback.

After the Revolution in Touch Computing Made Possible by Windows 8, Senior Care Corner?s New Tips for Selecting Computers for Seniors

After the Revolution in Touch Computing Made Possible by Windows 8, Senior Care Corner’s New Tips for Selecting Computers for Seniors











Senior Care Corner


Greenville, SC (PRWEB) October 30, 2012

The art of selecting a computer for senior loved ones was redefined going into the 2012 holiday season by Microsoft’s introduction of Windows 8 and the accompanying announcements of new computing devices utilizing the Windows 8 touchscreen capability. Among the beneficiaries are older adults and the family members seeking to demonstrate how easy it is to gain the benefits of going online and participating in social networking.

Reflecting this major change in product offerings, and both the opportunities and confusion that it may drive just as the shopping season begins, Senior Care Corner has developed new tips for those choosing computing gifts for senior loved ones.

“We’re thrilled by the opportunity the wide range of touchscreen devices offers to seniors previously unable to use or uncomfortable using computers” says Barry Birkett of Senior Care Corner. “We want to help family caregivers and other loved ones open new doors for older adults through the web and social networking.”

Considerations When Selecting Computing Devices for Seniors

Taking into account these points can improve the likelihood a device purchased for a senior loved one will provide enjoyment and other benefits well after a gift is unwrapped.

Consider how the device will be used.

    If intended for basic web access, reading e-books and document creation, there typically isn’t a need the fastest and most expensive processors or large amounts of memory.
    Applications such as home movie editing or game playing benefit from faster processors and greater amounts of both RAM and storage memory as well as larger screens or monitors.

Consider where the device will be used.

    When use is to be limited to a single location, such as a desk or table at home, desktop or all-in-one computers can be an economical way to buy any level of capability with the plus of greatest screen size optionality, both for touch and non-touch screens.
    If mobility is needed, whether within the home or for travel, a laptop, tablet or one of the new convertibles (laptops that convert to be used as tablets) provide the greatest flexibility but also tradeoffs between screen size and ease of portability.

Consider how the device will connect to the web.

    Use exclusively at home for those aging in place, the homes of family members, or other areas with Wi-Fi, including public hotspots, can mean that the built-in Wi-Fi capability in most portable devices should be sufficient.
    Devices used where Wi-Fi is not available, or if private or sensitive information (such as banking or healthcare data) is to be communicated or viewed over the web, cellular broadband capability should be considered. This is an option in many devices or may be added via USB attachment or portable hotspot from cellular companies. Note that many smartphones can be “tethered” to computers and tablets to connect them to the web.

Consider any physical limitations of the intended users.

    Larger screens may provide greatest access and enjoyment to those with reduced vision.
    Touchscreens, now widely available in all sizes with devices using Windows 8, may provide greatest access to those whose manual dexterity is limited, such as by arthritis or injury.

Consider compatibility with devices used by family and friends.

    File sharing, especially with documents, is often easiest with compatible devices.
    Family members providing “tech support” to seniors may be limited in their ability to address issues on devices that are not compatible with their own.

Changes Made to 10KWEB Ivory Coast Team

Changes Made to 10KWEB Ivory Coast Team












Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 03, 2012

Internet start-up, 10KWEB, announces a change in leadership for its Ivory Coast team. The team was founded and led by Guillaume Strezeleck, who himself was brought in by Paulo Gomes of 10KWEB-France. No reasons were given for Strezeleck’s departure. The new leader of 10KWEB-Ivory Coast is Pacome Flan, a local businessman.

Flan sees 10KWEB as an opportunity to breathe new life into the Ivory Coast economy, which was once the world’s largest exporter of cocoa, coffee and palm oil. Political turmoil, along with greater competition and falling prices on the global marketplace have caused the economy to suffer. One of the factors for the country’s steady economic growth has been the encouragement of foreign investment, which is where 10KWEB comes into play. Gomes, along with members of 10KWEB-France are currently planning a training mission to the Ivory Coast so that team members there can maximize their results on the internet.

10KWEB Co-Founder, Anthony Martins, is excited by Flan’s enthusiasm and vision, saying, “I’ve said it before but entrepreneurs like Flan are instrumental to bringing new ideas and new business to the world. People like him help make the world go round and we are happy to count him among our leaders here at 10KWEB.”

10KWEB was created January 2012 by Anthony Martins and Thomas Bang as an online resource for aspiring blog writers and small business owners. Their website launched on March 5th, 2012 and is currently used in the United States, Mexico, Great Britain, Germany, China, Morocco, Tunisia, Italy and New Zealand with more markets in development.

How One Non-profit Made the Move to the Cloud Starting With the Right Mail Hosting Provider

How One Non-profit Made the Move to the Cloud Starting With the Proper Mail Hosting Provider










Twin Falls, ID (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

The Boys &amp Girls Club of Magic Valley is one of Tech Strategies’ oldest customers, they had been the second client that signed on to their Kerio Email Hosting Resolution (http://www.keriomailhosting.com) and they’ve been employing it ever considering that. Prior to they moved to the TSI Cloud for their email answer, they had an on web site mail server, that had it is ups and downs. With a restricted spending budget for tech support and an even a lot more restricted budget for hardware, it was an simple choice to make the move to the cloud for email service. Getting able to share calendars and get in touch with lists and be able to sync iphones and android phones, laptops and desktops all wirelessly was just an added bonus back in the day, now it is a necessity for them. 4 years ago when they produced that move they felt they were ahead of the game and that their team was actually connected and in sync.

As time went on, and it came time to replace the server that ran their member tracking computer software, they again looked to Tech Methods, to fill that want via the cloud. By utilizing Tech Strategies’, Streamed Application Service, (http://www.streamedapps.com), they were able to move that application to the cloud as well, and it then also gave the team at the Boys and Girls club access to that critical data outside of the clubs physical network all by way of a secure cloud based Streamed App Service from the identical provider they had already entrusted with their e-mail hosting service. A few months soon after moving their member tracking software program to the cloud, the club added a new website, and they required to be in a position to access the member tracking software from that location as nicely. Considering that they had already produced the move to the cloud it was as straightforward as getting the Web up and running at the new site.

The last critical piece of the pie for the Boys and Girls club recently took location this fall, when they moved their last onsite service to the cloud. That service was the clubs file servers. The club has relied heavily on shared files to share documents and function as a team, but they could only do that when they were all at the identical website. With team members working in different geographic location and VPNs being to costly for the club, they necessary a answer so they could accesses their files anytime and anyplace. So they turned once more to Tech Strategies, who designed a custom solution to fit their wants and make a secure cloud sharing service that worked simply and easily. On leading of becoming able to access their documents and shared files from anyplace from any personal computer, they can also access their documents and shared files from their iPhones and iPads as properly.

The club now has all their mission critical info in the cloud, and they are turning what utilized to be a data closet into a actual coat closet, and the team at the Boys and Girls Club is totally connected all because of one intelligent move to the TSI Cloud 4 years ago to solve their email hosting demands.
