REDFISH RALLY SUMMER EDITION: PERIOD 2 : Challenge No. 4 : APPS (July 13 - 26, 2020)

Frequently I join in with the Redfish Rally participants in completing the Assignments. Sharing your experience with different application to assist you in your own personal journey on Hive can also help other authors who may be in need of a particular product.

I found several useful apps I'd like to share with the members of the Terminal's Redfish Rally and others on Hive.

A menudo me uno a los participantes del Redfish Rally para completar las asignaciones. Compartir tu experiencia con diferentes aplicaciones para ayudarte en tu propio viaje personal en Hive también puede ayudar a otros autores que puedan necesitar un producto en particular.

Encontré varias aplicaciones útiles que me gustaría compartir con los miembros del Redfish Rally de la Terminal y otros en Hive.

BITMOJI

The first app that I was introduced to by the Terminal Discord was Bitmoji. It was suggested that I use this app to aid in my online presence. I was hesitant at first. I don't normally use apps that are only available through your mobile phone.

Then I discovered the app was available as a Chrome Extension. I immediately looked into it. But I discovered I was still required to join via my mobile phone.

My initial hesitancy in adding this app to my phone was the privacy information they required. I decided to proceed and obtain my account.

This app is a fun way to present your online presence. You're asked to take a selfie. The program then converts it to a type of emoji in which you can customize your look and add outfits to your closet.

I utilize it daily, and it's a fun app to present different animated characters of yourself in funny or unique situations. Sometimes you don't need words. A picture tells it all.

BITMOJI

La primera aplicación que me presentó la Discordia Terminal fue Bitmoji. Se me sugirió que usara esta aplicación para ayudar en mi presencia online. Al principio dudé. Normalmente no utilizo aplicaciones que sólo están disponibles a través de tu teléfono móvil.

Luego descubrí que la aplicación estaba disponible como una Extensión de Cromo. Inmediatamente lo investigué. Pero descubrí que todavía tenía que unirme a través de mi teléfono móvil. Mi duda inicial al agregar esta aplicación a mi teléfono era la información de privacidad que requerían. Decidí proceder y obtener mi cuenta.

Esta aplicación es una forma divertida de presentar su presencia en línea. Se te pide que te hagas una auto-adquisición. El programa lo convierte en un tipo de emoji en el que puedes personalizar tu aspecto y añadir ropa a tu armario.

Lo utilizo diariamente, y es una aplicación divertida para presentar diferentes personajes animados de ti mismo en situaciones divertidas o únicas. A veces no necesitas palabras. Una imagen lo dice todo.

DEEPL.com

DeepL.com is an online translator that was launched in August, 2017. I discovered this website while searching for a reliable program to translate my English to Spanish. The reason I needed a program such as this is due to the fact I wanted to interact with the Spanish-speaking Communities and individuals on Hive.

I noticed that numerous authors wrote their posts in Spanish. In order to interact and engage with them, I needed to understand the nature of their content.

It has been extremely rewarding for me to be able to engage with other nationalities through the use of an online translator program such as DeepL.com.

My first attempt at using an online translator was through a recommendation from a friend to try Google translator. I found this service to be not as reliable in it's translation efforts. Another friend recommended DeepL Translator. I'm pleased with the results I receive from this translator. Although 100% accurate, it is decidedly better than google.

I recommend DeepL.

DEEPL.com

DeepL.com es un traductor en línea que fue lanzado en agosto de 2017. Descubrí este sitio web mientras buscaba un programa fiable para traducir mi inglés al español. La razón por la que necesitaba un programa como este es porque quería interactuar con las comunidades e individuos de habla hispana en Hive.

Me di cuenta de que numerosos autores escribieron sus posts en español. Para poder interactuar y comprometerme con ellos, necesitaba entender la naturaleza de su contenido.

Ha sido extremadamente gratificante para mí poder interactuar con otras nacionalidades a través del uso de un programa de traducción en línea como DeepL.com.

Mi primer intento de usar un traductor en línea fue a través de la recomendación de un amigo de probar el traductor de Google. Encontré que este servicio no era tan confiable en sus esfuerzos de traducción. Otro amigo me recomendó DeepL Translator. Estoy satisfecho con los resultados que recibo de este traductor. Aunque es 100% preciso, es decididamente mejor que Google.

Recomiendo DeepL.

WORD COUNTER TOOL

Word Counter Tool is a word counter that provides extensive statistics about your document's word count, character count, number of characters without spaces, syllables, sentences, unique words, and numerous other statistics about your document.

Just copy and paste your words inside the box on the right hand side of the screen. Your statistics will appear on the right hand side.

It's extremely helpful to me when entering challenges and contests on Hive with must contain a specific number of characters or words.

I only utilize the site to count simple characters before publishing my contest entry for @felt.buzz's ZAPFIC weekly contest. Creating a complete idea or story is hard enough without submitting your entry, then discovering it's disqualified for containing more than 240 characters.

Word Counter Tool works with numerous browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

Finally, Word Counter Tool allows you to upload type types of documents, such as Text, Microsoft WORD, and Excel. But the most exciting aspect of Word Counter Tool is that it comes with an auto-save feature. Numerous times I've left my words in the box and even shut down my computer. When I return, my words are there.

I recommend this important tool for use with your publishing on Hive.

WORD COUNTER TOOL

World Counter Tool es un contador de palabras que proporciona amplias estadísticas sobre el recuento de palabras, el número de caracteres, el número de caracteres sin espacios, las sílabas, las frases, las palabras únicas y muchas otras estadísticas sobre el documento.

Simplemente copie y pegue sus palabras dentro del cuadro que se encuentra a la derecha de la pantalla. Sus estadísticas aparecerán en el lado derecho. Es extremadamente útil para mí cuando entres en retos y concursos en Hive con debe contener un número específico de caracteres o palabras.

Solo utilizo el sitio para contar caracteres simples antes de publicar mi entrada en el concurso semanal ZAPFIC de @felt.buzz. Crear una idea completa o una historia ya es bastante difícil sin enviar tu entrada, y luego descubrir que está descalificada por contener más de 240 caracteres.

La World Counter Tool funciona con numerosos navegadores, incluyendo Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, e Internet Explorer.

Finalmente, World Counter Tool le permite subir tipos de documentos como Texto, Microsoft WORD, y Excel. Pero el aspecto más excitante de Word Counter Tool es que viene con una función de auto-guardado. Numerosas veces he dejado mis palabras en la caja e incluso he apagado mi ordenador. Cuando vuelvo, mis palabras están ahí.

Recomiendo esta importante herramienta para usarla con su publicación en Hive.

I hadn’t heard of this translation app either. Google translate is certainly not the best for many languages. I’m curious to check out some google alternatives.

Hello @jaynie. How are you doing? Condolences on your mom. I left you message earlier. Thanks so much for stopping by. I've been very busy now with the Terminal discord being a Moderator for the Redfish Rally. Trying to keep up with my regular Hive blogging is a task. That and trying to stay safe from COVID-19 with my underlying conditions.

Thanks for sharing with with PHC Community. Nice to engage with you. Take care and stay safe.

Thank you love - appreciate that. Sorry if I missed your message - to be honest, I think I missed MANY... I just was not in a good place and even logging on was too much. I still have not gone back to read them either.... just too much, too soon - but thank you nonetheless.

I think we ALL have our hands full nowadays - and life as we know it is so different... but "rather busy than bored" they say!

My pleasure to share hon... its a valuable piece.

Hi @mariale07 Thank you so much for stopping by and viewing my tips. I'm not very tech savvy as most people, but I have found some good websites and other apps that is easy for me to understand and use.

I enjoyed so much your APPS post that gave me tips I could use. So I decided the do the same. We can all learn from each other.

Have a great rest of your week in the Rally. Take care, and stay safe always.


Hola @mariale07 Muchas gracias por pasar y ver mis consejos. No soy muy experto en tecnología como la mayoría de la gente, pero he encontrado algunos buenos sitios web y otras aplicaciones que son fáciles de entender y usar para mí.

Disfruté tanto de su publicación de APPS que me dio consejos que podía usar. Así que decidí hacer lo mismo. Todos podemos aprender de los demás.

Que tengas un buen descanso de tu semana en el Rally. Cuídate, y mantente siempre a salvo.

You're welcome. And thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my tips. Yes, I use DeepL Translator all day, every day to connect with the Latin American authors. I just got a comment that reminds me it's not 100% yet. Someone asked me why have I "outgrown" her post; when in fact, I stated that "I have upvoted your post." I wanted to laugh. It just reminds me that nothing is foolproof.

Take care.

Thank you again ... yes, nothing is perfect. I took Spanish in elementary school, so I can still read it enough to know that translation services definitely have their issues. When in Google Translate I tend to use more common words, and I also have a bit of a sense of the idiomatic nature of Spanish ... but since I am considering translating SEVERAL novels worth of work I have done on Steem and Hive, I DEFINITELY will be using DeepL -- and still knowing I have to read back with my rudimentary Spanish to make sure!

Hello. I wish I have studied more in school and beyond, but I didn't Thanks so much for stopping by and viewing my tips. I appreciate your comment. I post in English, then I use the translator just in case my readers are Spanish speaking.

It takes more time, but it is worth it to engage with as many authors on Hive as I can. I love to write fiction, and hope as many as possible get to read my stories and give feedback.

Yes, there are numerous photography contests on Hive that require you to use filters and effects. Some even ask you to create gifs. Now that is my downfall. But I try. And I love to enter contests, both writing and photography.

Thanks for visiting.
