Published Speak It! App, a Text-To-Speech and OCR scanner app for Android

Writing software, creating applications, generating some major projects with good image processing, machine learning stuff... Has never been any problem to me. But, when it comes to publishing a software in production, I have always been shy, afraid (of reviews like, "what the heck is this?") and underwater for various reasons.

Anyways, I have recently started to push apps in production as well, I started at Windows Store and now Android's Play Store as well. Recently, a text-to-speech application is being pushed out, and since this is the first version there would be several bugs or missing-features, please bear with me. Nonetheless, the application currently does feature a few services that would be useful as of now,

  1. Android text-to-speech service, that lets you convert your text to speech. I implemented the service in a simple manner, that let me stream the content right away! 
  2. OCR scanner to scan your images, application at the moment also supports camera activity. 
  3. Speech storage to files. Android TTS generates the speech, which then gets stored to the files that you can later on listen to. 
  4. I am currently working on quite a few other features, such as voice profiles, that would be implemented soon as well as ebook readers. 
Also, there would be an update to the Windows Store alternate of this app, I am also willing to update the UI of the application as well as the services that are currently being supported in the application.

You can try it out from Google Play Store! Let me know what you think...

PyCharm vs Visual Studio Code for Python Development

Image
One of the most primary questions in the minds of a development startup, a beginner, is which language to use, and Okay, if I do have a language, which IDE to consider using with it? These are merely the questions, it goes down in the stack to understand more about different aspects of the IDE, such as, Productivity Performance Extensions and Add-ons Ease of use Learning scope And much more. All these key points are focused toward the development of a software engineer, as he gets to understand how to develop a vital piece of software. For the time being, I have just started out with Python development. Before you start asking me, why I did that:  Python is amazing. Python is being used for many machine learning libraries. Python is portable (just like .NET Core, which is my first love) Scripting is sometimes fun with Python (as compared to bash, command prompt or PowerShell) Open Source software love Python (Blender, GIMP, TensorFlow, etc. etc. etc.).  Long story s

Setting Up a MongoDB Server on Alibaba Cloud

Image
Since the early days of NoSQL, many database engines have been developed but MongoDB is no doubt one of the pioneers in the scalable, fault-tolerant NoSQL database. MongoDB itself is document-oriented, meaning you store the documents, not objects and entities. And this the core concept of the NoSQL databases, you don't manage the relations between the entities, rather, you store them with them. It's like, instead of assembling Lego pieces as needed and returning them back to their own blocks, you prepare a complete object, and then store it in the box—saves time each time you have to show what you built. This is something that happens when we are trying to store the objects (the documents!), and data inside the MongoDB server. MongoDB internally takes care of several concepts for us, such as (but not limited to) sharding, replication, indexing and much more of similar operational management services. Recently, I stumbled upon Alibaba Cloud services for databases, their Apsa

Understanding the Azure Cosmos Db

Microsoft recently introduced, Azure Cosmos Db accounts in their Build 2017. Who doesn't like a successful Build , and personally saying there were so many excellent announcements made at Build, that it has been intriguing almost everyone to know more about the products Microsoft is offering now. Among them is the Azure Cosmos Db. So, in this post I will give a million-feet overview, that you can read in under 5 minutes to fully understand what Azure Cosmos Db is all about. What is Azure Cosmos Db First thing to understand is that, Azure Cosmos Db is a wrapper around all the models that developers are using currently. Following are only a few of the models implemented by developers all across the globe,  Relational models -- the SQL databases. NoSQL models -- Azure already has a NoSQL model, DocumentDB.  Key-value pairs -- Typically apart from NoSQL, Key-value pairs are highly used for data interchanging; such as in JSON documents.  Graph etc -- Gremlin was mentioned to
