Hi everyone, Mushroom FM, an Internet radio station staffed by blind broadcasters, is celebrating its sixth birthday this weekend. There's a big prize pool which includes a lot of iOS and Apple-related things to give away, including multiple copies of KNFB Reader and other paid apps. If you're on a tight budget, you may be able to get an app you've always wanted. I'm leaving out prizes that wouldn't be on topic for this list, but here are some Apple things being given away. In every case, there are multiple copies.
KNFB Reader is a mobile app that reads print aloud. It’s easy to use. Take a photo and the app reads the text aloud in clear synthetic speech. And it’s fast – the print will be yours almost instantaneously. Worried about getting the right photo? The app will help you. It has text detection so you know you have the printed side of the page. The app also helps you get the whole page photographed with tilt and viewfinder assist. Just a tap of the finger and the print is yours. KNFB Reader can read receipts. You will know what has been put on your card at restaurants, stores, or in taxis. KNFB reader can read package labels. Wonder what came in the mail? Need nutritional information from your breakfast cereal? KNFB Reader captures it all. Is your screen reader not cooperating? KNFB Reader can capture print from your computer or tablet screen. Photograph the screen and know exactly what those error messages say. Deep Sleep and relaxation apps and MP3 downloads from Andrew Johnson. Andrew's vast selection of relaxation apps have helped many people change their lives in many ways. We have a very generous quantity of MP3 downloads and apps to give away that could make a big difference to you getting a good, refreshing rest.

It has a bunch of advanced features that make this the swiss army knife of podcast listening. And if you have both the iOS and mac versions, they sync beautifully thanks to iCloud support. The Fantastical calendar app for iPhone and iPad. It's called Fantastical for good reason. Type in, or dictate, your appointment in natural language, and Fantastical fills in all the appointment fields by itself. For example, type "Listen to the Mushroom FM birthday weekend at 3 PM on Saturday", and it's done. See your reminders all within the app too. It integrates with your iOS Calendar, so you can still check your appointments with Siri and the native Calendar app. Have an Apple Watch? It's there too. The Mystic Access Tutorial of your choice. Mystic Access have just released an excellent Voice Dream Reader tutorial, and they have much more as well. Talking LG Bluetooth Headsets from SpeedDots.
