Chrome for iOS: Feature rich alternative to Mobile Safari


Chrome on desktop is one of the arguably best browser on the market today. Lots of user prefer it for speed  and simpler interface over other browser. Recently Google has also made made it available for iOS devices.

If you use Chrome in your PC, you are probably aware that you can sign in to chrome and save your history, bookmarks and other information. Now with chrome on iOS, you can sync it to iPhone and iPad too. All you need to do is sign into your Google account in chrome (in iOS device) and you get all the history, bookmarks and even the tabs  ready to view. There are some incredible touch features which are really eye-feasting. Once you are sign into your chrome, you can scroll through the tab easily. Just click on the tab icon on top right corner of the window and you will get a stacked view of your tabs. You can then scroll through the tabs or swipe the tab away (right or left) to close it. You can also use 'edge swiping' to go through the different tab. Just swipe your finger from the edge of the screen while you are using chrome.

Image To Text: Descent OCR App


OCR tools comes very handy when we are working with a lot of text that are saved as images. As with any other OCR tools, IMG to Text App is a free iOS app that converts image to text. I have used this app very frequently and I can say that it works incredibly well. I was working on a restaurant website when the client gave me their long menu pages. I was able to scan all the text without any hesitance. Off-course you may need to use inbuilt cropping tool on your iOS device for better results.
