Are you looking for a better solution to charge your mobile devices.

Our world is becoming more and more craze with all the mobile devices that we seem to be accumulating. My household is probably like yours with both my wife and I having cell phones, Kindles and tablets that we are needing to keep charged. One are of our kitchen is set aside for that main purpose charging (3) Kindles, (2) cell phones, a Nexus 7, Samsung Note8, and an iPad. Quite a bit of craziness in one small area.

So I am constantly looking for a better way to consolidate and accommodate the charging of so many devices. I found a 7-Port USB Charger made by Satechi that allows you to charge 7 devices simultaneously. Four of the ports provides 5 volts/1 amp and the other 3 ports provides 5 volts/2.4 amps of power.

Powerful Charge Three 2.4A ports can charge high-powered devices such as tablets, while four 1A ports can charge smartphones, music players, and other devices. Charge a total of 7 devices simultaneously.

Compact, Space-Saving Design This charging station is only 7.4 x 5.5-inches, providing a powerful charge to all your devices without taking up desk space.

This unit is compatible with the following devices:

• Apple: iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, 4, 3, iPad Mini, iPad, iPod
• Samsung: Galaxy S5, S4, S3, S2, Note 2, Note
• Blackberry: Playbook, Torch
• HTC: One, SV, Flyer, Inspire 4G, Sensation, First, Desire

Priced around $54.95 this could be a great solution for messy kitchen countertop.

LG has an interesting new keyboard design for your tablet

LG has announced that it is planning to release a new bluetooth keyboard rolls up into a nice tight package when traveling and rolls out to a full size keyboard that automatically switches on and connects to your nearest bluetooth capable device when it is rolled open.

The keys are made of solid plastic (not the flat, squishy kind), which LG hopes will offer a typing experience close to what you're used to on your PC. The keyboard is just the start: the company says it plans to offer even more "input devices" in the next few months. The Rolly will launch this September in the US first, rolling out to the rest of the world soon after. 

Windows 10 Speech Recognition

If you put past articles that have written, you’ll see that I have many different postings talking about speech recognition and used on either a computer or mobile device.  When I write about the speech recognition program I like to use the program itself to write the article which helps to test how well the program works.

In this case are done the same thing and I am writing the article using Microsoft Windows 10’s Speech Recognition application.  I will only run through the initial training session to give the system of brief analysis of my voice characteristics.  While with some programs like Dragon Naturally Speaking, this is sometimes sufficient to give an accurate response, I think Microsoft’s product will need multiple sessions to get to the same level of recognition capabilities that some of these better programs offer.

The basic control commands all seemed to work well and it may be that some of my issues are that I’m also using a new blue tooth headset that might not be transmitting as clear as I would hope.  I probably should listen to my voice in conjunction with what the system was typing out.  However, I do not see that as an option.

All in all, I find that the program is working sufficiently to use it but it does seem to get lost every so often and I have to bring the system back to the program started up again.  This is a frustrating issue but quick on the screen bring everything back to life.  My suggestion is to run multiple training sessions to increase the accuracy of the system so that you have a lower threshold of frustration when you begin using it.
