It looks like this iPad street musician may be using Seline HD to create music for people passing by. Last month we saw the first iPad Orchestra in action, using the Seline HD app.

Here’s another iPad app to make learning the alphabet easier and more fun for kids. Little Sky Writers, from DANO2, lets you trace lowercase and uppercase letters by way of a sky-writing airplane. A comical voice follows you through the alphabet, suggesting words that begin with the current letter you’re tracing as well as sounding out each letter. The plane is moved around the letter by placing your finger on it and following the white line path already laid out.
Once starting the app there are three different planes to choose from. There are also three difficulty levels to choose, offering varying degrees of distance allowed from the specified letter path. On the hardest difficulty setting, straying from the path sends the airplane back to its starting point. The other two levels let you stray from the path without needing to start over. Each letter page comes with a lowercase/uppercase switch, sound control, and ability to choose from any letter in the alphabet.

One feature of the iPad many people don’t realize is available to them free of charge is text-to-speech. Once enabled, a woman’s voice reads any text that is viewed on your iPad screen. Now you can easily get information on a website page without reading, or have a book read to you. Follow these instructions to quickly enable and disable the text-to-speech feature as needed.
1. Open your “Settings” app
2. Click “General Settings”
3. Scroll down and click “Accessibility”
4. Click “Tripple Click Home” to turn it on
5. Click “Toggle VoiceOver”
6. Go to a website page or book on your iPad
7. Tap on the first sentence you would like read out loud
8. Then with two fingers, swipe downwards
9. Click the home button 3 times to turn off text-to-speech feature, 3 more times to turn back on
