With the recent release of KNFB Reader for Android, we can now see how text recognition and accuracy can differ among various smartphones. Does iOS still have an edge over recognition quality? What are some of the shortcomings of the Android app? Taking the same document, we run it through the camera of a Galaxy Note 5 and an iPhone 6s, which offer the 2015-era top notch camera quality from both Apple and Samsung.

My one month Opinion of The Apple Watch: The Little WatchOS that (potentially) could!
Within many English-speaking countries, there exists a children’s story which involves a small engine which could pull a train over a rather difficult hill. For the age level, it teaches courage and the power in small things. A few months back, fellow writer Justin Wack wrote a piece on what his thoughts were on using (and owning) an Apple Watch. Many people have praised Apple for designing and perhaps refining a new product category. In history’s past, both the iPod, iPhone, and iPad have been seen as such devices by some. Others might argue that all of their products have made a less-gradually decreasing impact.
Degrees matter the most with iPhone’s new 3D touch technology
When you go through the physical education of life, you generally have two to three graduations to attend. One, of course, is in high school. Although some institutions do opt to give you a ceremony in middle or “primary” school, this generally is only done for encouragement. The other degrees come at the completion of various college diplomas.
iOS 9 Brings Apple’s Platform to Heightened levels of maturity
When iOS 8 launched last year, it was definitely not a smooth start to the life of a new operating system. It was the first year during which you could install iOS as a public beta; This opened up an entirely new avenue of people who would now be streaming their feedback to Cupertino. The release was no slouch, either. Building upon the momentum of iOS 7, 8 included such niceties as a redesigned notification center, health kit and a health app, Continuity features, spotlight redesign, and a new multitasking switcher. A month after release, we had 8.0.1, which completely broke the radio of the new iPhone 6, and apps crashed more frequently. VoiceOver was riddled with a far greater number of bugs, including the famous “app store clearing search” issue.
Five Reasons to Buy (or not to Buy) the Apple Watch
At Apple’s “Hey Siri!” event on September 9th, the company announced a slew of new Apple Watch models and bands, along with the iPhone 6S, iPad Pro, and Apple TV. To be clear, these watch models are not a second generation product internally; The specs and components remain the same. They are already in stores, so our best guess is that Apple is trying to squeeze as many sales as possible out of the product with this refresh. For example, there is now a new “rose gold” watch, which is a popular colour choice among many.
Latest Windows Phone 10 Previews are Accessible with Microsoft’s Edge browser, Lock Screen changes
When Microsoft revamped Windows Phone as just “Windows 10 Mobile”, everyone was at a surprise. For the first time, Windows Phone would share a very heavy codebase with Windows 10. This meant that the features and resource requirements had to shrink, and Microsoft needed to redesign the user interface from almost scratch again.

The Nexus Root Toolkit is a very useful utility which can help you easily root your Google Nexus device. Despite its name however, this utility has much more to offer.
