Being in the medical field, I'm often eager to pick up on as much information as possible about the human body, illnesses and other medical issues. There are a few medical apps on my phone. However, Virtual Human Body, is quite diverse in its own way as it affords a complete view of the human body. And not just the skeleton either! Explore the skin, muscles, organs and bones of this realistic virtual body. Let's take a look at the many useful and unique features of this iPhone and iPad medical and educational app of the human body:

• 11 systems of the human body depicted through our lifelike model
• Over 1000 anatomical structures named and defined
• Anatomical dictionary including a textual search engine
• Possibility to overlap two systems so as to better visualize the interrelations between bones, muscles and organs
• Three display modes:
        * model only
        * model with red markers
       (gives access to the name of each structure)
        * model with overlapping window
       (allows you to display two systems simultaneously)
• Various points of view on the human body using:
        * Zoom tool
       (allows you to enlarge a system up to 16 times its original size)
        * Layer tool
       (gives access to cross-sections)
        * Multiple view angles
       (anterior, posterior, lateral, superior and inferior)
• Easy navigation: tap a red marker to access all the information related to an anatomical structure.
• A search engine to quickly locate a structure and situate it in its context
• A rich anatomical dictionary

On launching Virtual Human Body, you can select to Start Here, or get Help on how to navigate the app. The Help button contains a short series of scroll through screens with descriptions on each icon which will appear with the body in your lower display. The instructions are simple to understand and concise.

Start Here brings up the model of the human body. Tap to open the Systems list and select from 11 choices including: Morphology, Skeleton, Muscles, Nervous System and more. Choose which Layer to view. The first pertains to the main view, while each other Layer corresponds to a cross section. Also, you may choose which view you'd like to examine first: from Anterior, Posterior or Lateral. Tap the Pins button and you'll see a series of red pins appear. Now, when you tap each of these, the name of that body part appears with a brief description about it. When you tap Dual View, a helpful overlay will display the normal exterior of the human body over the skeletal visual. This serves to pinpoint where each body part is located exactly.

I was quite impressed with the details contained in the app which at the same time were all clearly explained. Virtual Human Body could well be a first-class helper to students in anatomy, biology or science classes. Conversely, a teacher could use this app to show all the details of the human body for it serves as a sort of road map to outline each and every tiny feature. Let me not forget to add the Search bar which when tapped provides an alphabetical terminology listing of every item included in the human body. Not only that - but when the terminology is tapped, you will then zoom in on the corresponding body part!

We definitely recommend this thorough educational tool to anyone of an age to learn about anatomy for any reason whatsoever. The display on iPad, as this is a Universal app, is wonderfully large and clear, thus perfect for the classroom. Push your mind a little further as you explore and discover all the wonders of the human body!

COOL CONCLUSION: Harness the intelligence included in Virtual Human Body to fill your mind with as many details as possible about the body, done in an easy-to-understand format with clear visuals and excellent accompanying descriptions.

The wonders of Siri never ceases to amaze us. Siri has often been referred to as "man's new, best friend"! That's what voice recognition will do for us! In any event, here's a universal app all iOS users can make good use of and enjoy in both a personal, recreational and professional setting. Voice To Apps - Voice To Messages And Email is a super helpful app allowing you to speak or dictate your thoughts, emails, messages, notes or social networking status which will then be translated to text, and placed in the application you choose. This type of smooth and reliable productivity is the kind of smart feature everyone needs on their iDevice!

I can think of a thousand ways to utilize voice-to-text utilities. In fact, I have used this iPad compatible voice recognition app at least a dozen times a day since installing it. Let's take a look at how it can help simplify family, social and business life, make you more productive and even help you stay safe on a daily basis. With Voice To Apps, you can:

♦ Send a quick and easy text to family or friends - no hands needed!
♦ Dictate an e-mail to your business associate while on the go
♦ Take notes in your class, or dictate your research assignment without having to type it at all

You can readily see how helpful Voice To Apps will be to you on a regular basis. Now let's take a look at some of its many features:

Using Voice To Apps (powered by Nuance) is really a snap. Just open the app, and you will see the sleek, polished microphone waiting for your dictation. If you tap the arrow icon at the top right of the screen, you will see options to: Edit Language, Sign out from Facebook, Sign out from Twitter, Help and About. Language allows you to pick the one you are about to speak. Help gives you the phrases you will need to add a large variety of commands and punctuation to your dictation. For instance, you may speak "New Line", "All Caps On", "Semicolon", "Equal Sign", "Open Quote", etc.

Go ahead and tap the microphone and wait till you see the words Connecting, and Start Recording. Begin speaking into the microphone and when finished, tap the mic again. Now touch the arrow icon at the right top of your screen, and you will see option buttons: Email, SMS & iMessage, Facebook, Twitter and Copy. Use any of these buttons to get your message sent where necessary. Each option will open the corresponding application right then and there to save time for you.

That's just how quick and easy it is to use Voice To Apps! I found the voice recognition iPhone app to be pretty much on target with what I actually spoke, and enjoyed staying within the app to open the various communication targets. When I think about it, I realize how much simpler life has been since using my new assistant, Voice to Apps, to take note of important thoughts and tasks.

Have you ever sent your mom or grandma a talking photo frame in which was placed a beautiful picture of your family with your voice inserted in the memory chip of the frame? These frames have been very popular at connecting families and melting hearts. These frames can be pretty pricey, but you don't have to spend money on the purchase and shipment of this type of gift any more. Provided your family and friends use Facebook, Twitter or e-mail, you can send them a Fotobabble photo which contains your picture, some fancy editing and a recording of you or your family's voice. The best part of all is that it is extremely easy to snap, record and send your photo, yet brings so much delight to the recipient. Some of the charming features and uses of Fotobabble are as follows:

Now you are ready to either snap a new photo, or use one from your photo album. Once you have your pic, (clear your throat a few times), add your recording and send the creation merrily on its way by one of the three sharing methods above! Photo creation and sharing could not be simpler!

Once you start using Fotobabble, you'll see how boring static photos can be. It's so much more exciting to receive a Fotobabble and get double the sensory input! Your photo is personalized which takes infinitely less time than it would to type a special note. Not only does Fotobabble work well on the app itself, but you can go straight to the website to create, enjoy and share your photos at any time and from anywhere.

Maybe it's because I have an unshakeable sweet tooth, maybe it's the challenge or multi-colored hues, but I took a liking to Dessert Drop when I saw it. In this fast-paced game, sit back and simply try catch all the delicious cakes, donuts, cupcakes, and ice cream possible! How hard could that really be?

Sure good reflexes and coordination are required, and yes it gets harder as the game progresses. But that's all part of the fun! Do not catch any fish or bugs in between the sweets, and watch out for the tires because they'll flatten your accumulated goodies. Ready, set, go as you balance your pile and catch all the sweetness in one shot! Be alert and aware if you want to score big in Dessert Drop!

Doodle Movie Challenge Pro

Developer Snapshot: "How well do you know movies? Would you know them if they were portrayed by doodle stick figures?"

- COST: $1.99     - RATING: 3 Stars
- Categories: Art, Entertainment, Games, Movies, Native, Trivia

If you are a movie buff and enjoy movies on either the big screen or DVD, you are bound to be current with classic and new movies that everybody has heard about or seen. Additionally, if you enjoy trivia questions that stem from your artistic creations, you'd appreciate a Pictionary game. Doodle Movie Challenge Pro gives you all the fun of movies and drawing to doubly entertain you and provide a bit of humor at the same time. This is good, old Doodle fun where a Doodle notebook is used to display various scenes from movies which you have to name. Some of the entertaining features of Doodle Movie Challenge Pro are as follows:

- 200+ questions with sound effects and background music
- Includes Sudden Death mode try and get as many correct as possible before your time runs out
- Levels mode where each level you need a higher score to get to next level plus bonus rounds
- Auto-saves games when app exits
- Random questions and random answers on every new game started
- Local and World High Scores
- Includes OpenFeint social gaming

Open Doodle Movie Challenge Pro to a crumpled piece of graph paper, and pick your level, options and other settings. It's simple enough to do that before the fun begins. So then a penciled drawing will appear with four choices underneath of possible movies which the drawing represents. I saw a stick man with a role of paper with all sorts of alphabet letters on that paper, and guessed from the choice list that it was Da Vinci Code! Ta da! I was right and moved on to a couple embracing at the foot of the stairs. My guess was Gone With the Wind and I was right again! Be warned these are not all easy questions. If there are sequels to movies, you may see them lined up as Die Hard 1, Die Hard 2, Die Hard 3 and that kind of thing. This is when you know you really had better be up on your movie facts!

Press the pause button at the top right of the screen to go back to the menu. You can utilize OpenFeint gaming and connect to Facebook or Twitter to share your score. Toggle the sound effects and music on or off, or even challenge someone to a game. They will get an e-mail notifying them of your intent! Doodle Movie Challenge Pro is just way too much fun to pass up with out any stress involved. Yes there is a timer ticking, but what the heck, the drawings are so funny and off the wall, you'll just be having a laugh at each movie clue! Doodle Movie Challenge Pro is a fun, family movie trivia app that you can enjoy anytime you want to test your movie knowledge and have a good laugh.
