Handy apps for students
In today’s fast-paced and challenging environment, technology has become an essential part of our lives. Whether it is a school-going student or someone pursuing a PhD, smart phones are a commodity none of us can do without. It helps us remember important information, be organised, find directions to a particular place and much more. Here are some apps that will help you save time and energy:
CanScanner – Phone PDF Creator (Android/iOS)
Do you have to deal with handling too many notes? Is the photocopy shop your favourite hangout before or during exams? CamScanner lets you scan documents directly from your phone and store them as a PDF or .jpg file. It uses the phone’s camera to take a picture and smartly crops and auto-enhances it to ensure that the texts and graphics in the scanned documents are clear and sharp.
Studious (Android/iOS)
If you have had that embarrassing moment when your phone rang in the middle of class, or have trouble remembering when your assignment or exam is due, Studious is the app you are looking for. It changes the phone settings to silent mode during class hours, reminds you when your assignments and tests are due and allows you to make notes. The interface is very simple, which adds to its appeal.
Dictionary.com (Android/iOS)
Say good bye to the bulky old dictionary. This app offers over 2,000,000 definitions, synonyms and antonyms.
It also has features like audio pronunciations, idioms and phrases, word origin and history and voice search for reference. The app encourages you to not only spell and pronounce new words, but also understand them.
‘Word of the Day’ will help you improve your vocabulary and get those extra marks the next time you write an essay.
