Hey community
I'm Pete and although I've been registered for quite some time now this is my first post so: Hello everyone!
I've been searching my butt off in order to find a multiple choice quiz application for WM6. I've looked at a bunch of stuff and dug around in sourceforge too but no luck. As I use a lot of freeware apps I'm perfectly happy with on my PPC I wouldn't mind at all to use another one. But if there's a feature rich commercial version I wouldn't mind paying either.
So: I'm looking for a software which would allow me to take (multiple choice) quizzes. The possibility to make quizzes on my own (preferably on the desktop PC) is a must. Embedded pictures/sounds would be a big plus.
Does anyone know of such an application?
Have you looked at MondoPondo?
Am not sure if you can author your own quizzes but it may be possible...
Hey rjcb23
I've never heard of MondoPondo before and just had a look at it. As far as I can tell quizzes aren't editable which they should be. Besides, according to the faq it seems to be a complete multi player game and I intend to play alone to kill time when I'm on a train, plane etc.
Nevertheless, thanks a lot for the reply.
Anyone have any other ideas?
This is something I've been trying to find for quite some time now.
What I am looking for is a PDF viewer that has an adjustable auto-scroll feature to use on an android tablet for reading music. For smaller screens (7"), I am looking to have 3-4 lines of music visible at a time when the device is in landscape mode.
The closest thing to this on android that I've found is the iReader app, but it doesn't read PDF's, and when I convert the PDF sheet music to MOBI or PDB, iReader won't autoscroll because there are images in the document.
What I'm trying to emulate here is something like the ForScore app or the MusicNotes app on the iPad, which has been described as "a PDF viewer with a metronome." Now, obviously, I don't want an iPad because of the way apple runs its devices/software.
If someone is interested in helping me to make this program (I am not a programmer by trade but a musician), there are plenty of other features that I would like to include, but the ones described above are the bare essentials for something that might already be out there. I'd be willing to pay someone for their time as well.

I was thinking of creating a score app for Android, but haven't had the time yet. Question: is pdf the best format for this? I don't use digital sheet music that much. Just wondering what might be the best format to support.
I don't really know to be honest. I just know that it's quite easy to scan music into PDF. If something else works better, then so be it. The end result needs to be easily rendered and easy to read as well.

Okay. Are the musical symbols recognized and converted by a OCR engine when you scan it into a PDF file? And if so, can one assume that most PDF sheet music will be formatted this way.
(the only thing I know is the sibelius reader, that is used by many digital sheet music shops)
Sadly, you would have to assume that most pdf sheet music (such as the stuff you can find on IMSLP.org) is simply a collection of jpegs in a pdf container. I get a great deal of older baroque/classical music from that site.
I suppose, ideally, you would use something like sharpEye to do the conversion to MusicXML to make the process as universal as possible. That way, you could use anything (even something like musescore) to edit the files.
Now I've never done this, but would it be a messy process to open up the musicxml and use a virtual print driver to "print" it to pdf. Would that essentially make it a jpeg inside a pdf then?
*edit* I meant to say something else here. It would probably be a good idea to support the musicXML format for viewing in a reader. I was just banking on the fact that I usually just see music thrown in a pdf container (I'm assuming for simplicity's sake).
hi guys
joining the crowd here. i could get by for starters with something that could auto-scroll images/PNGs or perhaps even a browser addon could work for that?
i am not allowed to post links, google for "fastest scroll west", lets see if he can come through with an autoscroll web page feature. perhaps if more people pledged the donation...!
So is this dead then?

Interesting....
actually some time ago I thought about developing an app for reading tab/chord-charts to assist me when I play the guitar.
Here we are talking about PDF-files if I have understood it correctly and this may make it a bit more difficult. However, although not now since I am busy with another project, I will look into it and see if it could be possible developing such an app, perhaps both for guitar and piano players.

I would love to see something where you could just load a bunch of music charts (.pdf, .doc, etc) and create a setlist that you could scroll through or page through. I just bought a Viewsonic G-Tablet and I would love something like this. Right now I am planning on creating one big doc of charts for my weekly gig and just scrolling down through that. I would LOVE to not have to do that.
Hello,
First let me say that I am not a developer/scripter. I teach graphic design and would like my students to be able to create a digital magazine. As a graphic designer with no programming experience whatsoever, I thought one of you might know how I can take all the pages we've created (each as a separate image in Photoshop) and cluster all the pages of the project together so that the end user can swipe through each page of the magazine. Perhaps it's simpler that what I'm thinking, but I haven't done this before. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, maybe the app quik might be what you are looking for.

Find It - Real World Document Search is an app aimed at making searching through physical documents just as easy as searching through digital ones. As a student, I've had the problem of looking through a textbook searching for that one paragraph of useful information I saw earlier, and not being able to find it. This was my solution to that problem. It uses OCR to search for text in real time, and instantly highlights the results, so you don't need to sit around trying to find that one bit of useful text.
Best of all, it's fast. You don't need to take pictures, crop images, wait for OCR to process, etc. Just point your camera at the page and you're done! Give it a try, feedback is much appreciated!
Note: sometimes the image loses focus, which can hinder text search. Turn flash on for best results.

Complete Redesign
I've redesigned the app to make it much easier to use. Let me know if you have any feedback!

The website is not working. Where I can find the latest version of this application? Happy to pay as well.
Hello everybody
Small intro:
I'm building a startup to create the first HumaneTech smartphone experience. For you.
Our project is to create a smartphone experience that is: Excellent. But not addictive.
A smartphone experience that respects your brain. And doesn't mess with your neurotransmitters. To allow you to use your phone without getting hooked, If you want.
To do that, we want to remove/redesign features that are addictive (believe me ! ) :
Glowing colors on screens
Notifications (the pings, the red numbered icons)
Thumb scrolling down (twitter/fb/etc news feed scrolling)
(and many other things)
We understand the psychology of it but we don't have tech skills (yet).
Let's say you have a smartphone/internet/p*rn addiction. And you want your own phone to help you.
Can you imagine android with :
AI based image recognition & filtering
One unique browser (designed to filter p*rn)
DNS/ HOSTS file based p*rn site filtering
Forced Google/Bing/etc SafeSearch
Phone use analytics (amount of time spend on X website/app etc)
Customisable "self parental controls" (limit the amount of time you can use an app, access a website,etc to keep you more productive) that you cant easily remove once set, to protect you
Customisable internet filters (hard to remove)
And in a moment of weakness, no easy way for you to remove it?
We thought of an app but all it takes is to boot in safe mode to bypass it (or not?)
Can we develop a customised Android that flashes like a ROM on a users phone and makes these changes?
We realise anybody motivated enough could do most of the above on his phone himself. By installing 4-5 third party apps, for example. But it wouldn't be perfect.
It could be easily removed. And the average user wants it easy to install.
Any ideas? I have very little technical skills and I'm still looking for answers on how to do this.
Thank you !
P.S.
First post so I'm not allowed to post links
Please go to HumaneTech dot com to understand what this is about.
There is a already a Chrome extension that filters nude images using AI. Its called vRate and works through a server
P.P.S.
I apologise in advance if I posted this in the wrong area.
This is in no way intended to promote a product. Nothing has been coded yet. I'm even willing to pay for a short conversation with someone who can answer these questions.
