How the Snipping Tool on Windows Made OCR Easier Than Ever

By Feb 17, 2024 Windows 0 Comments

OCR, or optical character recognition, is the process of converting images of text into editable and searchable digital text. I still remember the first time I used OCR in the nineties, when I got my first scanner. It was the coolest thing on earth, at a time before the democratization of the internet and when virtual encyclopedias like Encarta were not easily accessible.

This meant that me and my school mates often went to the library, digitized pages and pages of books to do our assignments instead of manually typing a copy of the book. I doubt that we learned much about history using this high-tech method back then, but the experience of converting text from paper into something digital was out of this world.

Fast forward to 2024, and OCR technology has improved by leaps and bounds. You don’t need a scanner or a separate software to use OCR anymore, you can do it with a simple tool that comes with Windows: the Snipping Tool.

How I turned my old iPad into a stunning photo frame with iFramix

By Jan 23, 2024 Upcycling 0 Comments

Do you have an old iPad lying around in your drawer, collecting dust? If you do, you’re not alone. Millions of iPads are discarded every year, contributing to the growing problem of e-waste pollution. But what if I told you that you can give your old iPad a new purpose, and enjoy your photos in a whole new way using eco-friendly iFramix solution?

I’ve always been a fan of Apple products, and I bought my first iPad years ago. It was a stunning device that served me well for many years, but eventually it became outdated and slow. I couldn’t use most of the apps, and the battery life was terrible. I didn’t want to throw it away, because what I invested in it, and it still had some sentimental value. But I also didn’t know what to do with it, so I just kept it in a drawer, hoping that one day I would find a use for it.
