Smartphone cameras let you take advantage of every available photo opportunity. But they can do more than snap pictures of partying friends and sweeping landscapes. With the right apps, your camera can perform feats from translating texts to scanning paperwork. 

Use your smartphones Camera snap

Your Rx BOTTLES AND VITAMINS TOGETHER 

so you'll have all medication information handy when you go to the doctor.

A PlANT OR FLOWER YOU LIKE

Show the picture to the staff at your local nursery.

YOU ARE HERE MAPS

at malls , parks and metro stations. You'll have a portable map as you keep walking.

The DRINKS MENU

Send it to a friend who's running late to dinner.

YOURSELF WEARING DIFFERENT OUTPUTS

in a dressing room so you can compare the looks without trying on each item again.

LOCATION SIGNS

In a paking lot so you can find your way back.

YOUR WALLET

Opened just enough to show what's missing if it's stolen.

A RECIPE'S INGREDIENTS LIST

so you can double check what you need while grocery shopping.

YOUR LICENCE PLATE

You may need it to recall the vehicle's registration number.

YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE CARDS, DRIVER'S LICENCE AND PASSPORT

To have on hand in emergencies.

To password-protct important photos,download an app like Folder Lock or Hide it Pro.


TRANSLATE FOREIGN TEXT

With a typical translation app, you have to tap out text in a foreign language and then convert it to your native tongue, or vice versa. This can be a tedious process—especially if a server is hovering over you waiting to take your food order. Here's a better idea: Scan the menu (or any other document) with your phone's camera and instantly view the English translation.

You can work this trick on any phone with the free Google Translate app (for Android and iOS). Once you download the program, open it and choose the languages you'll require—the one to be translating from and the one to be translated to—from the drop-down menus at the top of the screen. Then tap the Instant translate button, which looks like a camera with a little plus sign inside. Now point your phone's camera at foreign text, from road signs to paper documents, and the screen will display the translated words as if by magic.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy phone, version S8 or later, you can pull off the same feat with the native camera app. Just open it and tap the Bixby Vision button, which looks like an eye symbol, on the lower left-hand side of the screen. Then point your camera at a document, and the phone will automatically detect the language and translate the foreign words into your phone's default tongue.

ADD AUGMENTED REALITY

Want to see digital graphics overlaid on your phone camera's view of the world? You have more options than ever before: Both Android and iOS are adding augmented reality tweaks to their respective platforms, and third-party app developers are also jumping on the AR bandwagon.

To dip a toe into the AR waters, start with Snapchat (for Android and iOS). Install the photo and video messaging app, open the camera screen, and tap anywhere on the scene. Snapchat will immediately display a variety of AR stickers, which you can preview with a tap. Then adjust your angle, place the sticker where it fits best, and take a photo or video as normal.

If Snapchat isn't for you, you can still enjoy AR on your phone. A few examples: PGA Tour AR (for iOS only) places golf holes on top of nearby surfaces like your kitchen counter, Inkhunter (for Android and iOS) lets you preview tattoos on your skin before you apply any needles, and the Ikea Catalog app (for Android and iOS) will drop AR versions of furniture into your real rooms so you can check out how they look.

LOOK UP INFORMATION

With a little help from the Google Lens technology built into Google Photos for Android (it's not yet available in the version of the app for iOS, although Google says it's coming soon), you can snap an image of anything and then receive information about that object.

To employ this trick, use Google Photos to open any image, then tap the Google Lens button, which looks like a simplified camera shape, at the bottom of the screen. The software will recognize an object in the photo, whether it's a historical landmark or a type of flower, and provide information about it. Think of it like a visual search tool, recognizing everything from celebrities to famous works of art.

If you own a Google Pixel phone, you can also access Lens through Google Assistant. Press and hold the Home button to bring up the Assistant, then tap the Google Lens button on the lower right and point your camera at a target. Tap the screen to confirm that the pictured item is the one you want to learn about, and information will pop up on the display.


Hope you enjoy reading  this;)

Know How To Potentially Spot If There is A Hidden Camera in Your Hotel Room

Hey Everyone,

Know How To Potentially 

      Spot If There 

Is  Hidden Camera  

in Your Hotel Room

The prospect of getting spied on when you’re staying in a hotel is scary, but there are some things you can do to protect yourself.




When you’re staying in a hotel for vacation or work, the last thing you want to think about is that someone may be spying on you. But it can happen. In 2018, a Chicago woman sued Hilton for $100 million, claiming that she was filmed in the shower at a hotel and later blackmailed, according to CNN.




It’s not hard to plant a camera in a hotel room and no organization specifically tracks these types of crimes, security experts say.



“One of the reasons this is happening is because of the ready availability of low-cost camera technology,” says Jack Plaxe, founder and managing director of Security Consulting Alliance. Cameras with pinhole lenses that can be easily concealed are available through Amazon and other shopping sites for less than $100.”Anybody who has the intention of doing this can purchase something that will work.”




And today’s spy cameras are so small that if they’re properly concealed, there is no telltale sign, says Mike O’Rourke, CEO of Advanced Operational Concepts. Many come already installed in clock radios, smoke detectors, lamps, and other portable devices. 

People who place hidden cameras in hotel rooms may be looking for anything from compromising photos of people to trade secrets, security experts say. That said, Plaxe and O’Rourke say they don’t think the use of hidden cameras is as much of a problem in hotels in the United States.


“Overall in America, there is little worry in the larger and more prominent chains,” says O’Rourke. “Concern increases the further off-brand and lower budget one goes. Internationally, the opposite is true, especially in countries known to target business travelers.”


So while it can be almost impossible for an untrained eye to spot a hidden camera, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk:


Survey the room

Look for pieces of furniture or appliances that are in unusual places, Plaxe says. For example, a lamp that’s been placed in an unusual location and appears to be specifically angled toward the bed. If you have any suspicions, report them to hotel management.

Disconnect the alarm clock

If there is a bedside clock, O’Rourke unplugs it and places it in a drawer. When it’s anchored in place, he covers it with a towel. “If the clock is returned to its place or uncovered, I either have a problem or a detail-oriented housekeeping staff,” he says.

Cover the peephole on your door

People have used peephole reversers to film inside hotel rooms. “Sports reporter Erin Andrews was victimized in this manner a decade ago, and she won a multi-million-dollar settlement in court,” O’Rourke says.

Don’t use your laptop in expected locations

You may want to take additional precautions if you’re traveling in countries where trade secrets are targeted, such as China or Russia. “Cameras may be pointed at desks to capture computer passwords and other sensitive information,” O’Rourke says. Avoid using your laptop where criminals think you will—including the hotel lobby.
