Does anybody know a good app that does Speech to Text? I am a student that spends a lot of time traveling so would like something that I could have read to me while in the car. Similar to an audio book but just using pdf's and that type of thing.

Ez PDF reader is good. I think it costs a couple bucks but it also enables you to load PDFs directly from a URL and has decent tts which also switches pages as it reads.

Any recommendations for Twitter apps?
I use tweakdeck on my Galaxy Nexus and used Tweetcaster on my Transformer Prime, but I am trying to get used to this form factor!
Cheers

Twicca with the white theme. Very pleasant surprise considering how hit and miss twitter clients can be.

Plume. The landscape columns are perfect for me concerning list management. Only reason I haven't looked for another Twitter client with decent tablet features.

Official Twitter, despite having no tablet UI.
I'm very particular about twitter clients, I would be using Twica if it would show replies to somebody's tweet - which it doesn't. And a bunch of other clients don't show trending topics or look downright ugly.
Thanks for the replies, I am trying out TweetLanes!

Glad I saw this thread +1 for tweetlanes! Have been using plume for a while, but really digging the ui of tweetlanes.
I'm using the normal twitter app, do notifications work on any ICS or JB rom?

TweetCaster Pro on my Galaxy Nexus had that functionality and I can't get it on the tablet. If I'm missing something please let me know.
I really wish there were more choices with TweetMarker support besides just that and Plume. Tweetbot is by far the iOS app I miss most on Android, I only hope something can compare eventually.

Scope, use it for tumblr and twitter.
Is there a Twitter client which synchronises your position in your timeline over multiple devices? For example, if I check my timeline on my phone I then have to remember how far I got when I later check it on my N7, and then repeat back and forth every time I use the other device.
Oh wow, nice - I missed that he updated his app for the N7!
Haven't tried it on my N7 but I like Ubersocial on my phone.

You're looking for TweetMarker support and so far your only two options are TweetCaster and Plume. Note that it has to be enabled in settings on both devices before it'll work.

Currently using the official app and Scope if I want to share on Facebook at the same time too.

I'd been using Plume for a while on my Desire and never come across this functionality. Have just added Plume to my N7 and it works a treat. Thanks
The size of the N7 makes it idea for taking notes - I can hold the device in one hand and write with the other in a way that's not possible with a 10" sreen. Amusingly the best app I've found for this is Asus SuperNote, but the menu buttons that normally appear on the bottom of a 10" screen don't appear on a 7". Bumping build.prop's ro.sf.lcd_density from 213 to 170 (root req) fixes it, but a system wide change like that for compatibility of one app is a less-than-ideal-solution imo.
Anyone have any ideas for another possible fix?
Just wait on paranoidandroid. You can set DPI for individual apps

I just tried this on Jr5, with the tablet ui mod and I had the nav buttons. It looked great, thanks for that.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I sideloaded supernote on my N7 and noticed the navigation buttons were missing (I'm not rooted and thus running standard DPI).
My work around when in scribble mode I toggle to the keyboard to use backspace, enter key, or insert a space.

Yes, and you can also do a large horizontal swipe from right to left for backspace / delete I think.

Good point. I forgot about that capability.

Ugh, I would pay Asus for a version that scales right. Here's hoping this comes bundled with a 7 inch tablet soon.

Didn't someone say this is basically the same as freenote?

They have now.... thanks. Hmm, Freenote is a fraction of the size too and seems to have more options / is more configurable. Gonna check it out.

Just want to tell you all, that there is an app called "Handwrite Free"! I like it better than freenote, better interface and options.

There's another thread on note taking. I used to like Freenote the best, but in this other thread, someone pointed out Handy Note. It's not free, but well worth the one dollar. Finally something I can actually use, organize, share and backup. Check it out. I tried Supernote as well. Was not good enough for me.

As was suggested early on, I think the idea of having configurable support for screen density of each app (or however you'd describe it) is the solution to this problem and others like it. For now I've suck with stock and the build.prop edit, but I'll probably be on a custom rom with this functionality before long.
Also, I've tried all of the alternate app suggestions in this thread as well as most in the other. There's a wide variety of apps to pick from - some with a little less functionality, some with way way too much more for my liking (and at 30+ megs installed, they'd better do more!).
As mentioned by a few people FreeNote is the best replacement for SuperNote in general design, but with more configurability and features, plus a smaller installed size to boot. However, all the apps I've tried do one curious little annoying thing "wrong" that SuperNote get's right... they misplace descenders (g j p q y) fully above the baseline.
is there now a way to run Supernote perfectly on the nexus 7? If so how would you go about doing that
Has anyone found a way to make it scale with ParanoidAndroid? I have tried 160dpi and different layouts, but never got it quite right :S
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If you continue to have issues with SuperNote, consider checking out Handy Note Pro. I found it to be more usable. Plus, there's more than a few user reviews on Google Play that said that they lost all of their work when the app borked.
I just watched a video on youtube about asus memo pad 7, in it they were using supernote lite and the memo pad 7 is a 7" tablet so it should be perfect for a n7.
Someone is bound to get a hold of that apk so I will be on the look out for that!

Hi
I have a collection of magazines in PDF some of those are 90MB files and I wonder what would be your recommendations for a good PDF reader that can render files quickly when moving from one Page to another, I'm currently using Kindle for this but I don't think is fast enough with pdfs.

I'll be honest, I realized almost by accident that the android Kindle app really does a good job on my larger sized files.
Mantano premium is the best but is expensive

RepliGo Reader was the first app I bought, when the G1 first came out. Handles everything I throw at it and more. Best $2 I ever spent on an app.
I'm currently reading a 95MB magazine PDF on it with absolutely no problems.
I still haven't found one that does everything perfectly.
I haven't tried EZPDF yet, but RepliGo is what I'm using right now. It's not as smooth as some of the others, and doesn't render as quickly, but I find it's the most reliable. Some of the others get stuck during scrolling, or scroll weirdly.
I'm waiting for someone to release a perfect PDF reader.

I have the premium version and its slow for large PDF. I have many PDF with graphics, charts and diagrams and the apps choke on opening this. Going to the next page results in "loading..." message for about 1-3 seconds..painful when you are reading.
I found out that Adobe Reader is the fastest, but I really miss horizontal scrolling like in the kindle app and EZ PDF REader.
Thanks for your opinions!

Select "Single Page" in the View Mode option and you can swipe left and right.
i'm struggling to get a decent experience viewing building / construction / architectural plans. The file itself is no more than 2mb. However I suppose it is a graphically intense pdf, compared to say text.
Kindle reader seems to be working the best!.....but it's really not a viable solution....
Any other ideas??
+1 for kindle. Wish it had bookmarks though.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Weird... I'm using fairly large pdfs with graphics and even on the stock pdf reader I barely ever have to wait for loading between pages. DTG pdf is even a tad faster in my experience.
I recently found RADAEE PDF reader, it's fast enough rendering 100mb pdfs, however the app UI its really bad some pro features must be unlocked using PayPal, for basic pdf reading is ok.

For heavy graphic files I noticed that adobe reader is a bit faster than ezpdf. The latter however is my first choice for daily usage.

Radee PDF works at least 3 x faster than everything else! Thanks mate!....shame about the lousy interface though!

adobe reader and enable force gpu rendering in developer options.
very very smooth imo.
I've tested maybe all readers.
But no one give me experience like on iPad 1,2, 3 with goodreader app.
Why it is not possible on android to view technical structure and large pdf files?
Is iOS using graphics chip to render them?
How can we get the pdfs rendered fast on android too?
Edit: ok, have to say adobe renders fast.
But why there's even no way to turn pdfs 90°? With non of those reader apps.
I'm missing my iPad 3. Got stolen on my trip. ;(
NEXUS 7
As a public speaker, I'm looking for an app that can display my notes/manuscript (ideally, link up with Google Drive and/or Dropbox), displays a small timer on the screen with the notes, and possibly even a recording option.
I know there are stand alone apps for these, but I'm looking for something that consolidates these features, or some other alternative. Switching between apps would not be ideal while speaking.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How about myTalkMate from the PlayStore?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MyTalkMate
There are a few others there that might fit your purpose, paid and free.
Hm, that's a decent start. I guess I'm looking more for something that allows me to import a full manuscript and not just presentation queues (hence Google Drive support). I like the idea of the visual color clues with the timer though.
