This one downloaded a lot faster.

Loud advert alert!

It worked! It's read my capital letter handwriting!

I've saved the resultant file to my phone but now I can't find where it's stored on my phone.

I don't understand. Where's it supposed to be?

Why do they always make everything annoying?

Now I'm going to have to Google to find out where the stupid thing's stored the file.

I've now found the file lurking in a folder in my File Manager.

The app is called OCT Text Scanner.

I tell you what is good at recognising handwriting. Google Keep. I was amazed how good it is.

The drawback is that it only seems to be able to process images that you draw onto your phone with your finger, you don't seem to be able to upload stuff or process photos.

So, while being technically excellent, it is still no use at all

I spend 20 minutes a day typing up my old diary entries, so a decent handwriting OCR would be really useful for me.

Have you tried dictating them to your phone?

That's an interesting idea, but even if the transcription worked perfectly, the time taken to read the diary entries out, then download the transcriptions off the phone again, would mean it would be quicker to type them out.

You can get an app that enables you to talk to the dead.

Have they got one to talk to the living?

I have recently installed the Sound Meter app on my phone, which tells you how many decibels things are emitting.

The ambient noise level in this room, right now, is 35 decibels.

There's an app called Galaxy Sensors which claims to tell you the temperature, humidity, light levels, air pressure and your altitude.

Can such a thing possibly work?

I shall download it and see.

It says the temperature is 24.4 degrees.

My alcoholic thermometer says it's 20 degrees.
My digital one says it's 21.5 degrees.

It says the humidity is 50.5%.

My digital hygrometer says it's 53%.

And I have no way of checking the other things it's showing me.
