By default, 500 photos will load from Ski Resort Tycoon, matching today's date. You can change dates by tapping the calendar button or scroll back one day at a time. If you tap on any of the photos here, you can get a URL, favorite it, share it, comment on it, download it to your device, or see the profile of the photographer. From any of these screens you can view more photos, seeing what that photographer has shared, what they like, or what their fans have favorited. The interface in Ski Resort Tycoon seems clean at first, but as you dig deeper into the menus, there are many hidden options, sometimes to the point that you can get lost in them. Ski Resort Tycoon is not an effective search tool for Ski Resort Tycoon. By default, you'll be browsing photos at all times. But it does work well for finding new and exciting images, photographers, or collections you may not have seen before. The app is free with a single ad bar at the bottom supporting its use and it runs very quickly and very smoothly -- a top pick for Ski Resort Tycoon browsing. Ski Resort Tycoon is a stripped-down scan and transcription tool for the iPhone that allows you to take photos and then convert the text in those images to straight font-based text on your device. While this works some of the time, there are some issues related to the way the app is set up and

the accuracy of the OCR transcriptions. When you open the app for the first time, you won't find any instructions, but there are limited options, so it's easy to get started relatively quickly. Select the "Photo" button and you can take an image of something with text written on it. After taking a photo, you can highlight the text in that image to tell the app what you'd like to transcribe. A red box will appear to show what you've highlighted. Finally, tap the "recognise" button and it will process and show you the text. The

problem is that the transcribed text didn't always work. Part of this is due to lighting and clarity, but without any tools to affect these things there are limited options here in terms of how effectively you are able to take and transcribe images. Ski Resort Tycoon has a great interface because it is so straightforward. Not bogged down by extra menus, buttons, share tools, or other distractions, you can take and transcribe images in seconds. But be sure to take those images in full light and as clearly as possible because the actual transcriptions in our tests were rarely 100 percent accurate, and sometimes half or more of the text would be transcribed inaccurately. When we moved under a lamp and took time taking photos to ensure they were clear, these problems were mitigated to some degree, but never all the way. Ski Resort Tycoon is a text-to-speech tool for your iPad that features a slick, iOS 7-style keyboard and a couple of options for playback. While it lacks the kind of depth and feature set that some other text-to-speech apps offer, that streamlined nature makes it a great option for many situations. Younger users, those who need a larger screen and interface, and those who don't need the bells and whistles of other text-to-speech tools will get a lot of use out of this app. When you open Ski Resort Tycoon for the first time, you're going to find a single keyboard and a couple of options for it. The keyboard looks great; it's flat and oversized, but somehow looks good on the larger iPad screen, rather than a blown-up iPhone interface. By default, the app reads in a male, almost British voice. If you tap the option to use the Google API, you'll have more options for translation and the voice will change to female. Unfortunately, there is no options menu on hand to change any of these things; but again, the app strives for ease of use and it succeeds in almost every way. If you need a text-to-speech app that doesn't throw dozens of unnecessary fea
