Word Lens
This awesome application translates any sign or text into a person’s preferred language via the phone’s camera. It’s now even integrated into Google Translate. More importantly, one doesn’t even need internet connection for it to work.
Assistant
This app is actually the most-acclaimed, speaking personal assistant for smartphones, and is included in the New York Times’ top android apps of the year. It utilizes language tech to launch apps, answer queries, get information, and access many web services.
Be My Eyes
An app that truly impacts people’s lives is this micro-volunteering app that links blind people with volunteer helpers from around the world via live video chat. Anyone with the app installed can either ask for help or offer it and become someone else’s vision.
Cardiograph
Cardiograph is your personal health assistant, using the phone camera and a sensor for measuring heart rate. It works just like actual in-hospital medical equipment. Record and track results, then save them for reference.
SoundHound
You hear a great song in the background but don’t know who the artist is? This app identifies the band or artist, the album, and the lyrics. Just turn it on and it should be able to “sniff” the info you need for more personal listening sessions later. You can even hum that song you’ve forgotten but keeps running in your head the whole day and the app will detect it.
