Use Your Smartphone As A Document Camera

So in this article, we will see how we can use the smartphone as a document camera. Now as you know, every one of us hold a smartphone with us. So using it to help teach others in a better way is a great thing to do, Right?!

Smartphone Camera As A Document Camera
Smartphone Camera As A Document Camera

But before we learn how to do this, let us first know what a Document Camera is. Knowing what it does and the features it provides will help us know how good we can make use of it. This will help us better in turning our smartphone as a document camera.

You agree with me on this, right? Great! Then let us start from there!

What Is A Document Camera?

A document camera is a device we use for teaching purpose. We use it to take images or videos of a subject and send it to a projector to show it on a large screen.

But you may ask, why do we need such a thing?

Well you see, teaching your students using classroom board is all fine and good. But it is useful only when you are teaching theory. Now when it comes to explaining practical things, you need to demonstrate it as you explain, right?

But here is where you have a problem!

If you have a class with a lot of students, say something like 20+, how can you show your experiments to all? Surely you can not make them come take a look at your experiments one by one. Right? Because that will take you a whole day then.

So then what is an alternative way to demonstrate your experiments to your students? Well, just capture it with a camera & project it on a large screen, right? Does that make sense?

In that way, you will not have to bring in each student to the experiment and teach them one by one. You can simply demonstrate it to all in one go!

And that is why you need a document camera.

A document camera will capture an image or a video and send it to a projector to project it on a screen.

Why To Use Your Smartphone As A Document Camera?

So now that we know why what a document camera is, let us see how to use our smartphone as one.

But wait a minute. Before we go about exploring that, let us first see why we want to use a smartphone for that. Are there no document camera available in the market that we can directly buy?

Well, we do have document cameras that we can buy in the market. But the problem is that they are quite costly. They cost anywhere around $800.

Now that is quite a price to pay if you are a small teaching faculty right?

So our next better option will be to go with an alternative that doesn’t cost so much. And what better than to use an Android smartphone camera as a document camera. Right? As we already have them in our pockets, we do not have to spend any extra money for that. Right?

So that is why we are looking for a smartphone document camera. But do we have one?

How To Turn Your Smartphone Into A Document Camera?

Well, I tried to search through the Google Play store for an app that could turn my phone into a document camera. However, there did not seem like one exists.

So I had to get a little bit creative to create a solution myself. So what did I do for that? Read along to know.

Android Smartphone App To Capture Video

So the first thing I had to do was to find a camera app to capture image or record a video. Now wait a minute. Can I not use the camera app that already exists on my phone? Well, unfortunately NO. Because I need a way to send this video to my laptop screen and it was not possible with my built-in camera app.

So what else can I do then?

Here comes the IP Webcam Android App for the rescue.

Now if you recall, I had already installed this app from the playstore earlier. I had used it to turn my Android phone as camera for my OBS broadcasting.

And guess what? The video captured using this Android app can be accessed using an IP address!

The IP Webcam app converts by Android phone camera into a network IP camera that has its own IP address. Right?

So now all I need to do is use this IP address on my laptop browser and project it on the screen!

Pretty nifty, huh?! 😉

Conclusion

So that is it. That is how we can use our Android smartphone camera as a Document camera. So go ahead and try it out on your own. And if you come across any problem, do let me know in the comments below. I will be more than happy to help!

So until next time, take care and have fun learning new things! 🙂

Best Android MP3 Tag Editor Apps In 2020

In this article, we will take a look the top MP3 Tag editor apps for Android. These are the best MP3 ID3 Tag editor Android apps we can find in 2020. Since most of the Music players in Android cannot edit these MP3 tags, we need to use these apps.

But before we start listing the best Android MP3 ID3 Tag editor apps, let us first know what these tags are.

What Is An MP3 ID3 Tag?

So here is the thing. We are all familiar with an MP3 file, right? It is a file format we use to save our music. By saving the music in an MP3 file, we can playback this music over and over again in the future using MP3 players.

While this is all sounding good enough (see what I did there? ;-)), there is still one feature missing in an MP3 file. While an MP3 file can play back the music, it cannot tell us any information about it. So in other words, MP3 files could not store any details about the album itself. So some of the information like it’s artist name, song title, duration etc is lost.

Now in order to avoid this, MP3 format developers came up with a unique idea. They decided to append the MP3 file with tags called ID3 tags.

What does an ID3 tag do?

It simply holds additional information for an MP3 file. This can be the artist name, duration, cover art etc. So, ID3 tag is simply a word play. It is a short hand for ID tags for MP3 files!

How can we edit an ID3 tag?

So now that we know what an ID3 tag does, let us see how to edit them. Usually, if you are using a computer like PC or a Mac, there are many applications we can use to edit them. Some of these desktop applications include MP3Tag, PuddleTag or Easytag.

However, what can we do if you do not have a PC? Can we use our Android smartphones to edit the ID3 tag? Are there such Android MP3 Tag editor apps in the Play store? Let us find out!

Best Android MP3 Tag Editor Apps In 2020

So if you are using an Android smartphone, we can use any of the following Android MP3 tag editor apps. By using these Android apps we can not only edit the metadata of the MP3 file, but also add cover arts to it. So let us look into those Android ID3 tag editor apps one by one.

Automatic Tag Editor App For Android

Automatic Tag Editor is one of the most popular app we can find in the Android Play Store. Using this app, you can edit the ID3 tag with just a few taps. It auto suggests most of the tags by looking into your music library. So you can pick those tags that closely matches your music file.

Android AutoTag Mp3 Tag Editor
Android Mp3 AutoTag Editor

This app claims that you can pick tags for a song in under 5 seconds! But not only that. Automatic Tag Editor app can also be used to change the cover art for your album.

This Android app is one of the most popular app we could find in this category. It did what it claimed (although 5s per song is a bit cheesy) without any problem when we used it. And with 1M+ installations, it definitely is a successful app we could find out there.

Download Automatic Tag Editor App Here

AutoTagger – Automatic & Batch Music Tag Editor

AutoTagger is another Android MP3 tag editor app that you can use. This app also does what Automatic Tag editor android app claims to do. So AutoTagger can help you in tagging MP3 files with artist name, song title, duration etc.

Along with this, the Android AutoTagger app can also be used to change album cover art. While it provides us with HD cover images, we can also use our own cover art images! So that is a great feature to have, right?

The AutoTagger Android app is available as a freemium app. So the basic features are free. But if you want to do something professionally, you will have to go for its premium version.

Final Thoughts On Android Mp3 Tag Editor

So there you have it. These are some of the best Android MP3 ID3 Tag Editor Apps that we could find that you can use in 2020.

Android Filesystem HARDWARE SMARTPHONES TUTORIALS

What Is Jmtpfs In Linux & How To Use It? Explained

Jmtpfs is a combination of FUSE (Userspace Filesystem) and MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) stack integrated together to form a filesystem tool. The jmtpfs tool is then used to mount your smartphones or other handheld devices onto your Linux computer so that you can browse the content of your smartphone or handheld device directly from your computer.

Jmtpfs filesystem stack in a Linux computer

What Is A FUSE Filesystem?

FUSE filesystem stands for Userspace Filesystem. In general cases, when you need to create your own filesystems, you need to have knowledge of the Operating System (OS) kernel and block storage device drivers. This would restrict the development of new filesystems to only kernel developers.

In Linux, in order to overcome this, a new type of filesystem model was introduced called the FUSE file system. In a FUSE filesystem, you will make use of a pre-written generic FUSE Linux kernel module, which you as a userspace developer need not have to modify. In addition to this, you will also make use of a pre-written FUSE userspace library that would provide the required API interfaces to the FUSE kernel modules form the userspace.

Using these two modules, it is now possible for the userspace developers to write their own filesystems by inserting the FUSE kernel module into their machine’s operating system and then writing their own filesystem with the help of FUSE library modules.

Such developed FUSE filesystems will place the files and directories exposed by the filesystem in the userspace region of the OS which is accessible by even non privileged users.

What Is Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)?

Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is a type of protocol used to transfer media files such as audio files, videos files or image files at the file level rather than at the storage level. This protocol became a USB standard to transfer media files between a computer and a USB device.

The main reason why we would use an MTP protocol instead of the USB standard Mass Storage protocol is that when you use a Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) to transfer file, the whole file is transferred from the device to the computer or vice versa. So, the entire transfer of file happens as a single unit, hence transactional. In this way, both the device and host can continue to access the same file simultaneously, which is not possible when using a USB Mass Storage Device Class (MSC) protocol.

In case of an USB MSC protocol, when a USB mass storage device such as a music player is mounted on to a computer, the music player loses control over the files which is stored within itself and is taken over by the host computer’s filesystem. In this situation, the host computer can modify the content of the files and the USB device has no way to prevent it. This may lead to host computer corrupting the files of the USB mass storage device! But this situation is not at all possible when we use an MTP protocol due to its transactional file transfer nature. Hence MTP protocol is preferred over a USB MSC protocol.

JMPTFS tool makes use of both FUSE filesystem and the USB MTP protocol to mount the content of your smartphone onto a local directory on your computer, thereby giving access to the file contents of your smartphone even when you are a non privileged user.

How To Use Jmtpfs tool To Transfer Files From Your Smartphone

In order to use jmtpfs, you first need to create a local directory such as ‘myPhone’ in your computer. Next, you connect your Android or any other smartphone to your computer using an USB cable. Then by issuing the console command ‘jmtpfs myPhone’ you can mount the content of your smartphone onto your mount directory ‘myPhone’. In other words, after issuing the command, you will be able to browse the content of your smartphone within the mount directory ‘myPhone’ just like any other files and folders of your computer.

> mkdir ~/myPhone
> jmtpfs ~/myPhone
> ls myPhone
  Internal storage/

At the end, in order to unmount your smartphone filesystem from your computer, you need to issue another command:

> fusermount -u ~/myPhone

This should unmount your smartphone’s filesystem safely without corrupting any part of the filesystem on your smartphone.
