5 Essential Skills for Content Marketing Copywriters

0

‘Member, when all you needed, was a writer who could turn out a few blog posts a month?

Like handwritten notes, mixed taps and the pain of a dial-up connection – these are all thing of the past. Today, a copywriter needs to have cross discipline competence on a range of topics to be a successful force in content marketing.

Here are the five essential skills that all copywriters need to master to stay competitive and craft clickable, shareable and converting copy.

1. Creating Compelling Headlines

“On the average, five times as many people read the headlines as read the body copy. It follows that unless your headline sells your product, you have wasted 90 percent of your money.” – David Ogilvy

In the world of content creation, headlines hold all the power. According to a study done by Quick Sprout, 8 of 10 people will read your headline, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest of your post.

While it is a troupe at the moment to turn out headlines to a formula, successful copywriters keep their headlines unique.

Spending time crafting a compelling and clickable headline is a skill all copywriters need to master. There is no point slaving over an informative blog post if your headline does not entice readers to find out more.

2. A Master of Different Writing Styles

A copywriting wordsmith wears many hats. None more so than their ability to adapt to the brief. From blogging to landing pages, each scenario has their distinct writing style.

Ad copy needs to short and persuasive; white papers are long, detailed and address a problem with a solution; and news is informational with the core of the story at the top.

The more styles you can master, the more valuable and in demand a copywriter you will be.

3. SEO Copywriting Techniques

An understanding of SEO copywriting techniques is a must-have skill all copywriters need to have today to stay competitive. Phrases such as keyword research, anchor text, and metadata should be part of your vocabulary as much as “Yes, I want extra fries with that.”

But it’s not enough just to have a through SEO knowledge; a sought after copywriter needs to keep abreast with SEO trends as well as search engine algorithm updates.

According to Kevin Bauer,  copy manager at SEO firm in Chicago  (see SEO Services USA) copywriters with strong SEO skills should be able to write content that is easily searchable and meets the following criteria:

  •    Unique never before indexed content.
  •    Includes researched long tail keywords and synonyms.
  •    Includes title and description metadata.
  •    Images have alt tags.
  •    Appropriate anchor text to internal and external web pages.

4. Social Media and Community Building

“Content is fire; social media is gasoline.” ~ Jay Baer

There is no value in writing a piece of copy that isn’t shareable. Gone are the days of trying to sell a product with the hard sell. Instead, we have entered the golden age of permission marketing. It’s getting your ideal customer to buy into what you are selling through your brand’s personality and the curing their pain points with a solution.

Understanding this is crucial to writing content that engages a client’s audience and compels them to share it with their network. You want to create an article, news piece or white paper that makes the reader look informed and helpful by sharing to their audience.

Social Media creates an engaged community that wants to participate in the conversation and ends with them coming back for more, subscribing or signing up for that gated piece of content.

5. Knowledge of Analytics

A mark of an excellent copywriter is their ability to analyze their writing. Successful writers need to know how well their content is received online. This is why it is an important skill to be able to interpret site metrics.

Copywriters need to know:

   * How their content is ranking.

   * Search engine traffic click throughs.

   * Page views and bounce rates.

   * Popularity on social media.

By taking the time to analyze your content you can find out which pieces are appealing to the site’s readers. It will help you create more content that is meeting your audience’s needs and increase the number of quality leads.

Invest in yourself and your career. Master these five skills and help your clients achieve a better ROI by helping them effectively reach their customers.

 

Social Media Marketing for Local Business Today

0

With the coming of platforms like Facebook or myspace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram businesses today, we have received an opportunity to promote their businesses with almost no costs. A failure to develop on, while getting such opportunity and not utilizing upon Public Press Promotion is like losing a drink from a lake of water in a desert. Companies who do not take advantage of Social Media will gradually slack down in their growth.

Consumers today do not have tolerance for a one-minute commercial broadcasted on their TV sets during their favorite fascinating sports event. Many individuals have ceased looking at a comfortable couch with their loved ones and watch TV, they are now linked to the World Wide Web. Being on the internet gives them a feeling of success when they are popular for their looks or their thoughts. People like to share their minutes of joy with their loved ones whom they might not able to meet due to reasons varying from a distance to time accessibility. On an international average, a person usually spends about 42 minutes on Facebook or myspace every day and this gives a company 42 minutes to talk to their customers.

What are the Prospects that Social Media Opens for Local Businesses

Social Media has allowed businesses to link with their customers and associates in a more personal way. It means companies to build long long-term interaction with their potential viewers. Loyalists of a product have developed a greater feeling of owned by the product as they feel that the product knows them and it is not just they who know the brand! This gives a personal flavor to the brand-consumer relations.

Good use of hearing methods over the Social Media allows businesses to understand the needs of their customers in a more precise manner. It allows them to make more specific personas of people and allows them to reveal the actual personality that they wish to focus on. The in-vogue Human to Human advertising models is easily used over the Public Press. Social Media may even give a company a subconscious approval when a buddy is affected to like or follow a product or a product upon seeing his buddy do the same. Everyone is affected by their reliable consultants in making buying choices and Social Media gives the opportunity to businesses create the most of the existence of their lovers in increasing their sales but silent persuasions.

Exposure to your brand is improved many times if Social Media is used in the right way. Social Media has the huge opportunity not only to special offers, but it has shown an enormous opportunity in the Public Relations domain as well.

Conclusion

A business missing out on Social Media is missing out on a sea of opportunities. The best use of Social Media Marketing is made when experienced and professional Social Marketers are made to maintain the on the online presence of a business.

How to Stay Safe from Cyber-criminals in this Digital World

Water is a vital part of life. The human body is capable of surviving without food for weeks. But without water, even surviving 127 hours is unbearable. We use it to drink, cook, bathe, wash, and what not using water. Well, the purpose of starting the discussion with water was to move your attention to a rather serious issue that is the use of Internet. It might not be wrong to say that we are living in a global setup where the Internet has taken the form of water. Our jobs, social life, personal life, communications or in simple words our whole life revolves around it in one way or the other. The Internet has definitely brought a positive change in our lives but it has also given birth to a lot of serious issues. Some of which include data theft, misuse of personal information, identity theft and much more. Thanks to the internet, our lives are like an open book anyone can read.

We can’t obviously stop using the Internet as it has become an essential part of our lives but we can definitely take a few measures to make sure our private information remains private. So, if you use the internet too often then make it your habit to follow the tips given below as it is your privacy and safety at stake.

Do Not Reuse Passwords

Do not, I repeat DO NOT reuse passwords. If the password to your cloud is same as that of your email account, then you might have unwillingly given the hacker access to your financial accounts, as well as the ability to reset all of your passwords. To avoid situations like this one should always use different passwords for all of their online accounts. It may sound like a very tedious task, but it will certainly help keep you safe. Also, don’t use the same password for too long.

Avoid Storing Sensitive Information Online

Words like “privacy” and “private” no longer apply to any information that you choose to share on the internet. Thus, storing your important files on the cloud or anywhere else on the net might not be a good idea. With that being said, storing sensitive data on the cloud for a long period of time is a big no-no. My advice would be to store those files online that you need to access frequently and avoid putting files with data like credit card number, home address, passwords, etc. online.

Encrypt

encryption

Encrypting data is one of the best ways to protect data that is stored online. And it is simple too. All you have to do is use any software to encrypt the file i.e. create a password for that file and move that password protected file to your online cloud storage. This way anyone invading your account will not be able to access said files without knowing the password.

“Zero-Knowledge” Privacy

privacy

A few cloud services also offer local encryption and decryption of your files, along with the regular options. This way no one would have access to your files other than you, including the server administrators and service providers. This “zero-knowledge” privacy is able to cloud services like Spideroak and Wuala.

Prevent Automatic Media Upload

Cloud services like iCloud and Dropbox usually ask the users if they want all their pictures and videos to be uploaded to cloud automatically. In theory, this looks like a good way to back up all of your memories but sometimes the data that was meant for your eyes only gets uploaded as well. This can put a serious damper on your personal privacy as anyone can look into your private and intimate data online.

Backup Your Media Offline

While cloud provides the perfect platform to backup all of your data, backing up your data that is important to you locally might be a good idea as well. This way if you lose your phone, the cloud server crashes down or if someone hacks onto your account and deletes all of your data, your data would not be truly lost.

Design & Built

Now starting with the Design and built of Zenfone 3 Max, this times the phone houses in Full Metal Chassis and no plastic and leather feel. The design is something which is being unique to Asus. This is the identical design which they have used in Zenfone 3 laser which is again there new line up. Zenfone 3 Max added a round curved to its edges which adds a proper grip while holding it in hand. At Least the build quality is better than the cheap, plasticky feel which we get in original ZenFone Max.

3D View is coming soon here

The successor of Zenfone 3 max, has made a whole lot of changes in its latest release. This they have added a 2.5D curved glass on top of 5.5″ FHD Display panel which adds extra protection as well as looks to the phone.

asus-zenfone-3-max-usb-jack

Turning around to the down portion, it houses single Speaker grill a primary mic and normal micro USB port which supports fast charging.

asus-zenfone-3-max-sim-tray

Coming to the left side of the phone you will get a supports Dual Sim at the same time or single sim + Micro SD card up to 256 GB which make it a hybrid SIM tray.

asus-zenfone-3-max-volume-and-power-button

Turning around to the other side of the phone you will get volume rockers and below that power lock key which give quite good tactile feel and also has a particular design feels on it.

asus-zenfone-3-max-rear-camera

At the back panel of the phone you will get a 16MP camera beside it Dual Tone LED Flash and Laser autofocus sensor, below that it houses a FingerPrint sensor which works perfectly even with 360 Degree Recognition. Just put your finger on it and in 0.3 ns or may be less it will unlock the device.

Display

asus-zenfone-3-max-gaming-riptide

Asus Zenfone 3 Max comes with a 5.5-inch FHD with a resolution of 1920×1080 and pixel density of 403 ppi. The Display colors are very cool, and has proper dark which means while watching movies and playing games will look way better. The Sunlight legibility this time has also increased because of better brightness level. The High brightness level does not affect the color quality of the display. Overall the screen for movies and games and for daily use is great.

Coming to the viewing Angle, they are good enough and you won’t be getting any chance to complain about it. While watching movies from odd angle won’t affect you in any way. There are different color modes, which you can change as per your usage by going into the setting panel.

Performance

The phone comes with Snapdragon 430 Helio Octa-core processor which is clocked at 1.4 GHz which features a 3GB Ram. This combo makes this device high in this price. Out of 32 GB of internal storage you get about 25 GB free, you can expand it to up-to 256GB because the phone support Hybrid SIM tray.

asus-zenfone-3-max-gaming-gta

Snapdragon handles are device quite well. As well already know asus has optimized there ZenUI to give maximum battery power, and as this device is from MAX series battery backup is quite well. On heavy and aggressive usage you can easily last for more than a day and if you are having a normal use the battery will easily last you for more than 2 days.

Different Benchmark score for this device seems to be quite low:

Antutu 44211
Geekbench 3063 Multi- Core

But overall when we play high end games like GTA, Riptide, Nova 3, Assassin Creed they all work fine no frame drops or lag is there. In my test i have played all the above mention games on continuous basis there is no battery drain, no heat up and no lag. May be this is all because of software optimization. Oveall in daily use i have no issue regarding the performance part of the phone.

Camera

asus-zenfone-3-max-rear-panel

So, this time Asus Zenfone 3 Max comes up with 16 MP rear Camera which is really improved from the previous max Device. This time they has better camera application with manual controls which are great. The focus and bokeh effect us quite good but i don’t know why while taking images there some noise in every image, it may be due to some software tweak if we edit it a little bit you won’t find any issue in images. from past couple of days the images which i am being posting on my social media are taken directly by Zenfone 3 max and i have no complaints to it. They only need to consider why there is noise in every image. One more thing i wanna mention is that sometime camera won’t focus in certain objects, so to make them focus either you need to change to manual controls or close the camera app and open it again and then it will work fine. Again a software issue is there which stop the laser focus to properly focus on the object. Rest from the time asus has improved a lot with their sensor and much better bokeh effect while focusing from rear camera. The camera can take video shots top upto Full HD and no 4k recording is there untill and unless you install a third party software to make it work.

asus-zenfone-3-max-front-camera

Coming to the front facing camera of zenfone 3 max, it comes with 8MP shooter with built in feature of beauty mode. images taken using it come out decent but again some noise if we turn off beauty mode. Coming to the video quality taken from front facing cam it can capture up to Full HD video, which seems to be good compare to there older models. But again when we come to front facing cam there are many other options also which are way better from it.

Camera Samples

Software

I never like the ZenUI which they came up. This time they have Android 6.0 and top of it again ZenUI skin which is very laggy and buggy, only the best part of this UI is best battery optimization, rest on multitasking and almost everywhere is seems to be sluggish and laggy. Even if you install a side launcher it seems to be little bit better. My suggestion for asus will be to change the ZenUI to stock android to get better performance and better multitasking even with any low end hardware specs, or they should work harder like Xiaomi to get the best SKIN for android till now which is MIUI 8. The lag and slugginess is not due to hardware, it is due to software. This lag starts when you start installing many different software and start doing multitasking intensively. If you are a normal user like normal parents in house, they wont be complaining anything about it. They will only say one thing battery life is awesome no charge for more than 2 days.

Battery

asus-zenfone-3-max-battery

Like the previous device from Asus, Zenfone Max it has slightly low battery but still it give its best in it. Due to Software optimization the battery life is really good. It comes up with 4100mAh battery which is similar to other Xiaomi devices but this is way better in each aspect. Standby time is incredible, rest playing games, movies aggressive chats it will last you more than a day easily. If you are having a normal use like normal games, normal chat, high talks it will easily last you more than 2 days. The just love the battery life of this phone. The only drawback is even having fast charging it charges very slow. 0% to 60% in about 2 hours.

Verdict

After using the device for couple of days i don’t know why Asus has fixed the price so high which is Rs. 17,999, but that UI and no Volte update till now ruined it. They are promising to shoot a update soon which will make volte support to all there 4G supported phones. Overall if we consider the device as per the looks, battery and offline availability its a thumbs up, else for better UI and better performance there are other devices also with low budget and same metal built.

  • Full metal Built
  • Screen Quality

It advises businesses to implement device authentication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL Certificate), endpoint protection, inbuilt analytic, etc.

And on the other hand, Symantec utilizes eight new “Roots of Trust” like SSL authorization optimized to secure IoT devices. Such roots authenticate devices and allow them to communicate with other trusted devices by preventing access from unsecured or untrusted devices.

Cisco

The Growing Need for Online Shopping Carts for Small Businesses

The growth of the internet has made it the perfect place for people just like you to create an online business. Instead of creating just a local store where you’re limited to local traffic, a website can reach thousands of people all over the world. However, there’s one aspect of e-commerce websites that many webmasters don’t pay much attention to: online shopping cart software. Your online shopping cart is more than just an easy way for your customers to check out thanks to advances in technology. Here are a few reasons why all websites, big or small, should be using online shopping carts.

Social Media Integration

If you’re selling products that you’re proud of, you want your customers to share it with their friends and family. This is easy to do with shopping carts thanks to social media integration. If you’ve ever been checking out and noticed social media buttons that say “share your purchase” or something similar, then you’ve already experienced social media integration. The goal of these buttons is to allow customers to quickly share favorite products that they purchase with the people on their social media profiles. This is free advertising for you and fun for your customers.

Discounts and Coupons

The internet is full of millions of online stores. Your goal is to make your site stick out among the rest. This can be challenging to do, but one simple approach is to offer discounts. Although figuring out how to accept and offer discounts online is no easy feat, online shopping cart providers have worked in the ability to accept promo codes and discounts during checkout.

Keep Up With Sales

Many online shopping carts no longer just handle making sales. They also help you keep up with sales. Some online shopping carts are embedded with shipment tracking technology. At a glance, you can quickly see what your most popular items are, how many you have left and how many you’ve sold over a given timeline. It used to take multiple software programs to give you all of this information, but now you can get it all from just one online shopping cart.

Digital and Physical Goods

Shopping carts are no longer limited to selling physical goods. They also allow you to sell digital goods and services such as music, movies, software and more. Since shopping carts are automatic, your customers can gain access to newly purchased goods as soon as they’re done checking out.

An online shopping cart is a great way to make the most out of your website. It allows users to browse your site and check out with more than one item. It also gives you the ability to accept coupons and expand your business through social media integration. No matter how big or small your website is, you need an online shopping cart.

Lenovo K6 Power VS Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime Comparison : Which one is Best?

There is not an even a single week which is being left over when we don’t hear about any new phone which is being launched in the market. Today we have two different brands with two different phones, which are going to give a huge competition in Indian as well as global market.

Lenovo and Xiaomi, both are the top notch brands globally as well as in China. From past few years both the brands are working like hell to capture the maximum market by launching their best products in best price. Due to which a few weeks back Xiaomi has launched its budget device Redmi 3s prime which is one of the best-selling devices in that price, and now Lenovo has also launched its latest budget oriented phone K6 power which is surely going to give a huge competition to Xiaomi.

So, let see which one is better and what are all pros and cons for both the phones:

Build Quality and Design

Now, as I have already mentioned both the phones are under Budget segment and we should not underestimate aspect more. But what these phones are giving in this price is really great. Built Quality of both the devices are good, both the phones are made up of full metal built and symmetric Design which we see on every phone these days.

lenovo-k6-power-vs-redmi-3s-volume-rockers-techniblogic

As we come to the right side of both the devices, they both has power lock key as well as volume control buttons with a good metallic finish on it. These buttons provide proper tactile feel while you press them continuously. There is no patterned feel on buttons, on any of the devices.

lenovo-k6-power-vs-redmi-3s-back-keys-techniblogic

Coming to the down portion of the screen you will get back capacitive keys which do not light up.

lenovo-k6-power-vs-redmi-3s-bottom-techniblogic

At the bottom of both the devices , Redmi 3s Prime comes with a normal Micro USB charging port, primary mi, and 3.5mm Audio Jack, whereas Lenovo K6 Power has only primary Mic over there and nothing else.

lenovo-k6-power-vs-redmi-3s-sim-tray-techniblogic

On left side of both the phones are having hybrid tray in which you can add 2 sims or 1 sim + Sd card up to 256GB Storage, which means you are never going to run out of memory in any of the phones.

lenovo-k6-power-vs-redmi-3s-top-techniblogic

Now coming to the top portion of the phone, on Lenovo K6 Power you will get a 3.5mm Audio jack and a Normal Micro USB Port which sits beside it, whereas on Redmi 3s Prime you also get an IR blaster which an advantage to redmi 3s over here.

lenovo-k6-power-vs-redmi-3s-back-panel-techniblogic

Coming to the back side of the phone both has the same 13 MP back camera with single tone Led flash and a finger print sensor which is also almost of the same kind. They both also has the speaker at there back and here we have a great difference K6 power is having a dual Stereo Dolby Atmos speaker whereas Redmi 3s Prime has a normal single speaker which makes K6 power win over here.

Display

lenovo-k6-power-vs-redmi-3s-front-techniblogic

Now, here is a lot of difference between both the phones. Lenovo k6 Power is having a 5″ FHD display which gives 1980×1080 Resolution whereas on Redmi 3s prime you only get 5″ HD Display which give 1280×720 resolution. There is one more huge difference in Display which again gives the advantage to Lenovo K6 Power. Pixel Density of K6 power is 441ppi whereas pixel density for Redmi 3s Prime is 294ppi. This means when you will use VR headset to watch movies or play games K6 power will give you much better clarity and resolution with no pixelation. And from past Lenovo always promote there device for Vr capability and theater Max technology.

Performance & Speed Test

Now, coming to the performance part both the devices have the same hardware in it. Snapdragon 430 CPU, Adreno 505 GPU and everything is same. Both the phones come up with 3GB/32GB model.

The only point which we can consider in performance is the software which they have used because as per my experience MIUI is much stable compare to Lenovo own custom Skin. This is Lenovo has worked a lot on its UI. They have tried to add almost all the features which MIUI 8 offer like Dual system, and dual Apps.

Rest I have not tested Lenovo much so won’t comment much about its performance.

Camera

Now coming to the camera part of both the phones, the rear camera of both the phones are same which is 13MP shooter and captures almost same kind of images, some of the shots are better on k6 Power whereas some of the same shots are better on Redmi 3s. The neglected difference is there which is hard to found easily.

Coming to the front facing camera, K6 power is having an 8MP camera whereas Redmi 3s prime has a 5MP shooter. Bot capture decent images but I think K6 power has an edge over here. It is not because of its increase in Megapixels but because it captures more details with less noise compared to Redmi 3s prime.

Battery

The main focus of Lenovo k6 power is its battery, the company adds up 4000mAh battery which is little bit low compare to Redmi 3s Prime as it comes with 4100mAh. But still, it is mostly highlighted because lenovo has added a new software tweak which they are saying as the ultimate power saving mode in which your phones becomes like a featured phone with all things black and white like we see in samsung Devices earlier. Due to this tweak they can give you the maximum power. This tweak only makes the edge for K6 power in the competition with Redmi 3s Prime.

Verdict

As per my views Both the devices are great in its prices. But here are few point which we need to consider like first Price.

  1. Redmi 3S prime is available for 9,000 whereas k6 Power is for 9,999 which Rs. 1000 higher.
  2. Availability of Redmi 3s prime is not easy because of flash sales, but k6 power will be easily available any time.
  3. K6 power has much better screen quality compare to redmi 3s Prime.
  4. k6 power has a stereo speaker which is way better from Redmi 3s Prime.
  5. K6 power has a better front facing the camera as well as better battery life because of its ultimate power saving mode.
  6. Redmi 3s prime has an IR blaster which is an advantage to the phone.
  7. Redmi 3s is having better Stable UI compare to which Lenovo offers.

Rest now it’s your choice which one to buy, what is your budget would you like spend 1000 bucks more or not. What is your usage and demand? Just choose one of them and let us know, why?

Convert and edit photos on the go with Image to Word

Staying in the loop with the newest technology revelations is more important today than ever before, simply due to the supply of tech gadgets, apps and devices that are being revealed daily. Think about it for a second, how many updates on your phone apps do you run weekly without really reading what’s being changed? Knowing what’s behind the scenes means being in the loop, staying ahead of the curve. More importantly, knowing which changes will affect you as an individual, and your business as a whole depending on how heavily you rely on technology in your workplace.

Almost 10 years ago, the technology market has slowly started creating a new segment – the mobile app market. But firstly, what are mobile apps? Google defines them as: A mobile application, most commonly referred to as an app, is a type of application software designed to run on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer. Mobile applications frequently serve to provide users with similar services to those accessed on PCs.

Since technology has advanced far enough to have a mini-computer without a single button or keyboard, it is safe to say that working on those flatscreen devices are the next best thing after working behind a desk and a regular laptop or desktop computer. In fact, often times you can finish your work on your phone or tablet much faster than you would on your computer.

Data Management

With the development of new programs, mobile apps and other pieces of software, new file formats came as well. Soon enough, we started seeing issues with editing and reusing these files because they could be edited in so few ways. However, where’s a problem, there’s a solution as well. Given that formats can be manipulated and managed, technology has found a way to work around the bulky and uncooperative formats such as PDF, HPGL, TIFF, JBIG2 and others. Enter file conversion software: desktop programs and mobile applications that help their user convert a file from one format to a different one. At first, there have been many mishits with file conversion, and after a few years of working on their product several companies have developed very decent conversion software and engines. Nonetheless, the company that has recently made the biggest leap yet, and introduced one of by far the strongest OCR converters is surely Cometdocs.

Some time ago, Cometdocs released Image to Word, but at first it wasn’t such a hit due to high competition. At that time there were surely better converters than this one, however that hasn’t stopped their developers from working on this OCR app. After another few months and 2 major patches, Cometdocs released the third version of this app mid-June 2016, and they did a hell of a job. By licensing the industry-leading OCR engine as well as introducing several new features to the app, and completely switching to a new and more user friendly interface, Cometdocs has raised the bar fairly high with Image to Word.

Image to Word: How to edit a screenshot

With Image to Word you can convert files in two ways: by choosing a file from your library, or taking a photo with your camera and then selecting to convert it. However, the third option is you can simply snap whatever is on your screen at the moment, and import it to Image to Word.

convert-and-edit-photos-on-the-go-with-image-to-word-1-techniblogic
If you click on Photos, you will see a list of folders which are located on your device, and from there you can select any image you want to convert. If you wish to convert a screenshot of your receipt, a chart or sheet you got in your mail, or a photo you previously made, this is the option you need to select. If you click on Camera, the app will open your rear camera, with which you can quickly snap a photo of your receipt or maybe a newspaper.

Open Photos and select the screenshot you want to convert. Once you’ve selected your file, the conversion will begin. The file being converted will appear on the main screen. You can also see all active and finished conversions on your main screen below the part where you choose between Camera and Photos. Those files are saved on your phone for future use, unless you choose to delete them by hand.

The converted file will be in .docx format, which is the main format for editing text files. Most of us are used to using MS Word, so for best results we suggest it as well. By clicking on your converted file, you will see a preview of the converted file and you can export it to the app where you wish to edit it by clicking on the Share button in the bottom left corner. You will be given a choice of suggested apps to use, as well as all previous editing apps you used. Aside from MS Word, you can also give a shot to its alternatives, Libreoffice and Quick Office.

If you are having trouble using the app, you can always rely on the guide for better results for a few quick tips, which can be found in the Options drop down menu. This guide will take you through the app and show you the correct way to snap a photo of your files, or how to make a screenshot suited for conversion. Basically, one of the main things you need to count on is the lighting in the room where you are making the photo, as well as having it on a flat surface. That way the app can easily read all the contents of the document. Normally, having a good camera will make things easier for both you and the OCR engine will make a better output.

From there you can also rate the app, stop all conversions or contact customer support in case you have issues with using the app.  Also, by clicking on Settings in that same menu, you can allow and deny Image to Word access to certain parts of your iPhone/iPad, such as the Photos and Camera, as well as managing the pop up notifications you get from Image to Word.

Pros and cons:

Just like any other app, Image to Word has its strong sides and some weak ones as well. Here are just some of the more notable features this app offers:

  • Outstanding conversion quality
  • Top of the line OCR engine which reads both photos and screenshots
  • Easy access to files as well as sharing them after conversion
  • Optimized output format (.docx) which makes files easily editable afterwards
  • The new UI is very user friendly
  • The app is very battery friendly, which means it can run while not turned on

However, Image to Word also has some flaws:

  • It takes about an hour to have the file converted with the free version
  • Conversion time can vary depending on how busy the servers are

Image to Word implementation?

First thing that often comes to mind is “where can I apply this app” or “to what use can I put it?” and Image to Word has that covered as well. Aside from being vital in several industries, image conversion can be applied to some mundane things such as:

  1. Scanning notes for college students
  2. Managing bills, receipts, bank statements, taxes and tickets
  3. Writings and drawings – from brainstorming to making it the real deal
  4. Making your own cookbook with IMG to Word-convert scanned recipes
  5. Editing paperwork and contracts
  6. Preparing lessons for teachers and educators
  7. Reducing paperwork for lawyers and litigators
  8. Switching to an eco-friendly and paperless environment
  9. Revising images and documents for auditors

How does it fare against competition?

Although there aren’t many similar mobile apps, Image to Word has its competitors, the main ones being Text Fairy (OCR Text Scanner) and Mobile OCR. The first thing that stands out is the frequency of the updates and patches. Image to Word gets updated on a monthly basis, one of its last updates being the localization of the app to several countries. So far, Image to Word has been translated to French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Indonesian with several other translations being planned for the future. Aside from frequent updates, hotfixes and patches, Image to Word offers better OCR than its competitors since they haven’t been refreshed with the new OCR technology in a while.

Where can I download Image to Word?

This app is available on both iPhone and iPad, however if you are an Android user Image to Word is available on the Google Play store as well. Feel free to download it and let us know what you think! We encourage you to rate the app, and share your experience both good and the bad so that future users and testers can hear and learn from your involvement.

Redmi Note 4 VS LeEco Le 2 : Detailed Comparison

The smartphone industries are changing so frequently and on a weekly basis we can see one or company launching some of their devices in market continuously. After the great success of LeEco Le 1s, LeEco comes with its new Budget Phone i.e. LeEco Le 2 in the market, but there is already a competitor in a budget segment which is Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but Xiaomi has already launched their new successor of its previous device which is Redmi Note 4. Now the question is Redmi Note 4 vs Le2 Which one is best? Which Phone should you buy? So, Let’s find it out…

Build Quality and Design

These days when we are in search of any new smartphone design and selfie camera plays a vital role in it, and all must be in the budget as well. Most of the consumer don’t want a flat plastic phone with big hardware specs. They prefer more attractive design, curve, and some excellent build quality. Now coming to both the phones, we have a premium metal build which looks great in both of them. LeEco Le 2 as well as Redmi Note 4 both of them looks stunning because this time Xiaomi has changed its design statement by removing the oval feel and giving side curves to add better grip.

Both the devices have great built as well as design so that I won’t be complaining anything about it like in the previous model of Xiaomi, and there was some design issue.

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-volume-buttonsAs we come to the right side of both the devices, they both has power lock key as well as volume control buttons with a good metallic finish on it. These buttons provide proper tactile feel while you press them continuously. There is no patterned feel on buttons, on any of the devices.

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-charging-portAt the bottom of both the devices ,Le 2 comes with a Type-C charging port, Loud Speaker and primary mic, whereas Redmi Note 4 has a Micro USB Charging Port with added feature of MediaTek PumpExpress 2.0 technology for fast charging, they have also added Dual Speaker Grill out of which only right one is having actual speaker whereas the left one is having the MIC in it. But still Le 2 takes a lead, as you get the ability of for super fast charging using USB Type-C Port as well as you can listen high-quality lossless audio from that USB Type-c Port as it also supports CDLA, which is arguably more future proof (CDLA me be a drawback for some of the users because we cannot charge the device at the same time we are listening to our favourite music Via same port.)

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-sim-trayLe 2 has a Dual SIM tray on the left side, yes it is not having any hybrid tray you can’t add SD card to it. But where as in Redmi Note 4 you will get a hybrid tray in which you can add 2 sims or 1 sim + Sd card upto 256GB, which means you are never going to run out of memory in this phone. So here we have our clear winner which is Redmi Note 4 because of is expandable storage capacity.

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-topNow when we see the top of both the phones, you may find something missing in Le 2 which is 3.5mm jack as they have added CDLA technology in their USB Type-C port which can help you to listen lossless high quality of music. Other than this both phones come with IR blaster on the top which works fine, but on Le 2 it is much easier to connect because of its Universal Remote app, you can even connect an AC (Air-conditioner) remote with it, But when we come to Redmi Note 4 Remote, there are so many devices which are preloaded in the application but still there are many devices which we cannot find in the app due to which we cannot control some of those devices using our Redmi Note 4. This issue can be easily fixed just by sending the app update in the near future. So, as of now Le2 is the winner in this case also.

Display

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-frontBoth the devices offer a 1080p display with 5.5 inches screen size. As we compare to higher brightness level, this time both are same. Redmi Note 4 as well as LeEco Le2 are having an even same pixel density of 401ppi. As per my views, I won’t find any difference between the display quality and colors on both the phones. They both has Deep Black and great colors which will make watching movies and playing games a nice experience.

Viewing Angles of both the devices seem to be same because I was unable to find any difference while watching movies on both the phones. So, here we have a tie between both the phones.

Performance & Speed Test

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-ui

The Performance of any smartphone depends on a processor which is there. The Le 2 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 MSM8976 where as in Redmi Note 4 it comes with Helio X20 which is a first of its Deca-Core Processor in the market. In the case of performance Le 2 and Redmi Note 4 performs hand in hand with no difference. But the real performance and speed of the handset depend on the OS which it is running. Xiaomi MIUI is very smooth and fast in terms of memory management and optimizations whereas LeEco is working hard on their eUI to be the best in the market. They are giving additional services which they are calling Le Membership worth Rs 4,900 for Free in which you can watch premium movies, Live TV shows for Free. But still, Redmi Note 4 and its MIUI 8 awesome features make me attract towards it.

This time in Redmi Note 4 they have added two different modes in performance which you can switch as per your usage. If you want to do some high-end gaming stuff switch to performance mode where as for normal use you may set the device on normal mode which also increases its battery life.

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-cover

LeEco comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage which is not expandable where as Redmi Note 4 comes with 3GB ram and 64GB of inbuilt storage which is also expandable to upto 256GB which in this case make the Redmi Note 4 winner (We have not tested Redmi Note 4 2GB RAM Version).

Overall performance on both the device are great. I have also tested the Antutu score where the clear winner was Le 2, but in daily usage and multi-tasking, gaming I won’t find any kind of difference in both of them. They both can handle any high-end stuff with no smudging and lag in performance.

Benchmark Le 2 Score Redmi Note 3 Score
Antutu 81118 74491

Camera

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-camera

LeEco here come with 16MP rear camera whereas Redmi Note 4 this times has 13MP rear camera and both of them shots really good images in different lighting conditions. But this times Redmi Note 4 back camera is slightly better compared to Le2, Color, bokeh effect, saturation all are much better on Redmi Note 4, even the camera application of Redmi Note 4 is much better. Coming to the video part Le 2 has a single lead over here as it supports 4k recording which takes high quality of video, but still video recording on Redmi Note 4 back camera is much better because of OIS which is present in the phone, whereas LeEco has no OIS in there phone. This makes Redmi Note 4 the clear winner in Rear Camera performance.

As we move to the front , Le 2 has 8MP camera whereas Redmi Note 4 has only 5MP Camera. But when we compare Redmi Note 4 front camera with LeEco Le2 front Camera, Le2 is the clear winner over here. I don’t know how but yes, LeEco has better front facing camera clarity compare to redmi note 4.

So, now its your choice which one to go, better selfie camera or better back camera.

Battery

redmi-note-4-vs-le-2-techniblogic-pic-2

Before we end the comparison, let’s take a look at the battery of these two smartphones. Redmi Note 4 offers 4100mAh capacity battery where as Le 2 offers only 3000mAh capacity battery, which is relatively quite lower when compared to Redmi Note 4. Redmi Note 4 has a bigger battery but other than this you will get Fast Charging support in Le 2 which is really very helpful to charge your phone in 60 to 70mins (0-100%). But still comparing the battery life of both the phones Redmi Note 4 is the clear winner over here.

Verdict

As per my views both the devices are great and both the companies have done a whole lot of research while designing and constructing the final product. Both has some of the pros and some of the cons like Redmi Note 4 has better rear camera whereas Le2 has a better front facing camera. Redmi Note 4 has better battery life whereas Le2 has Fast Charging.

So, do let me know what are your views about both the device and which will you prefer and why while choosing any one of them.
