Hangman Plus includes a realistic looking pirate (?) on a dock with gallows (??) in an isolated cove of Treasure Island (???). It's the classic game of hangman with features that make it especially suitable for educators and language studies. The included Word List contains over 3000 words and phrases. You can customize or replace the Word List. Future versions will include character sets for languages other than English, such as: French, German, Spanish, and others.

This app has a very simple and intuitive interface.

Instructions:
Hangman Plus opens to the main "game" page.

    The top section of the main page holds the hangman graphic. Below that is a panel for the Game Word or Phrase. Tapping the Game Word panel will show the solution to the current game or begin a new game.
    Beneath the Game Word panel is a Scroll Box holding letters of the alphabet used in the solution. There is extra space on both the left and right sides of the Scroll Box to allow easy scrolling without accidentally pressing one of the letters. Letters will be disabled and grayed once they have been chosen during a game.
    Tapping the Android Menu key will open a menu with choices for Settings, displaying the Word List, and displaying an About page.
    Pressing the Settings icon opens a page where you can select the number of guesses allowed in a game and the length of the words and phrases that are used. Use the Android Back key to exit the Settings page. Settings are remembered between runs of the Hangman Plus application.
    The Word List page shows the entire selection of game words. The default Word List contains over 3000 words and phrases. You can modify the game Word List - see the app's about page. Tapping one of the rows of the Word List page brings up the Word List Actions menu. Here you can choose to Add a new word or phrase to the list, edit the word or phrase that you tapped, delete the tapped word or phrase, or delete the entire Word List and file. If you delete the Word List file, a new Word List file will be re-created from the 3000+ entry default Word List that is provided with the application. Be sure you have a backup copy before you delete a custom Word List or a Word List that you have modified - once it's deleted, it's gone.
    Choosing the About menu item shows the help and instructions page.

T-Scribe (v. 2.00)

T-Scribe is an app that will let you quickly Enter, Save, and Restore notes and memos using voice recognition or the keypad.

This app takes advantage of Android's voice recognition capability. Being nearly deaf, sometimes there are words and phrases that I just cannot understand no matter how many times they are repeated. I had people write them down on paper, but now they just speak into my phone and the words appear.

I have found I use T-Scribe for many other functions - remembering names, phone numbers, and appointments. I also use the quick "copy to clipboard" ability to preload words and phrases (my email addess for example) for pasting into other apps.

The latest version also lets you change the text font size.
