Air Dictate: Using Siri on your Mac

December 30, 2011

I’m creating this post using air dictate a new application which allows you to use Siri on your Mac. Let’s just say it works fine. Many years ago when I first started working I used a Dictaphone . Now I just feel rusty. What amazes me is this app seems to work more effectively than [...]

Siri – What Will You Do For Me in 2012? #iphone #developers #api

December 29, 2011

As 2011 closes it is becoming more obvious that Siri really changed the perspective on how we communicate and use smart phones. Siri is beta for a reason. It doesn’t always work and you still have to learn to work with it. This is a post covering a few of my own observations and what [...]

Apple #iPhone – Please let us upload Photo’s / Videos via iOS Safari

December 29, 2011

Time to complain about Apple’s highly restrictive iOS Safari policy. Here’s my example – you be the judge. I am visiting a website on my mobile. It has a form that asks for a photo. However the choose photo file button is shaded out. Why? Because iOS Safari doesn’t allow you to upload files / [...]

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – Dot and The Looker – 360 Degree Video

December 28, 2011

Now this is one experimental product I’m hoping to make use of… rather than just having it sitting here. Here’s the problem. You are running a small group interview. Typically the camera or cameras are set up facing in one direction. Usually to capture most of the group, and typically not the moderator. However, the [...]

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – Document Scan – Flipchart Capture

December 28, 2011

Another in this Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools series… making your SmartPhone your best friend in the field… and how to do the job a little better.

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – Glif+ iPhone4S + Tripod

December 28, 2011

Who knows what Glif means? It’s certainly cool and I don’t know how long I was waiting for this product to arrive. It seems simple…. you want to mount your iPhone4 or 4s on a tripod and click or video away. For me this gets rid of carrying a Flip around too. The days of [...]

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – Audio Note

December 28, 2011

I’ve decided to publish a short series on mobile tools that can be adapted effectively for the ethnographers craft. Today let’s think about recording the discussion/observations. Typically I use a note book. I write in it and make the odd drawing or sketch. While that’s all happening a digital recorder is usually capturing anything that’s [...]

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – 360 Panorama

December 28, 2011

With each advance in smartphone tech I seek to find new and easier ways to capture what I actually see in the field. I find that running a video… often doesn’t do it later when telling a story with a visual. Equally, it can be difficult to let people see things through their own lens…. [...]
