Everyone's favorite phone startup, OnePlus, is gearing up for another flagship Android phone launch very soon.

Otter app transcribes conversations like it's no big deal

Every product here is independently selected by Mashable journalists. If you buy something featured, we may earn an affiliate commission which helps support our work.

Anyone who's ever transcribed an audio interview into text knows what a painfully slow process that is. But with the new Otter app, created by a company called AI Sense, this could become a thing of the past, even when transcribing a complex conversation with several people speaking.

The app, which I tried out at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, is simple to use: Start it up, and it'll start turning the conversation around it into text. After a quick setup process, it knows when you are speaking, and it can distinguish between different voices in the conversation. You can also search it for certain terms that were mentioned in the conversation. Read more...

People went nuts for this epic camera remote on Kickstarter, and now it's on sale

Heads up: All products featured here are selected by Mashable's commerce team and meet our rigorous standards for awesomeness. If you buy something, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission.

If you want to pull off amazing photos that look professional, you’ll need to learn some skills. A basic understanding of lighting, composition, and color are all necessary — but before you can even get started on that, you’ll need a good camera and a remote to operate it. And as far as that last part goes, the Spark Camera Remote is about to be your new best friend.

The Spark Camera Remote was successfully funded on Kickstarter, and it’s easy to see why when you read about its capabilities. The Spark Camera Remote is really three remotes in one — a wired remote, an infrared remote with 100 feet of range, and a remote for your smartphone that controls your camera with an app like some kind of super-millennial.

Why you should learn about blockchain before everyone else does

From niche technical publications to watercooler conversations to the corporate boardroom, blockchain has become the latest buzz-worthy technology that practically everybody is talking about.

But if you stopped the average Joe on the street to ask, What exactly is blockchain?, chances are  you’d get some head-scratching and a few vague references to Bitcoin as a response.

Consider: Blockchain is being touted as the most disruptive invention since the internet itself; isn't it worth learning the basics about what it is and how it works? 

RMIT is the first Australian university to offer a dedicated blockchain course online, Developing Blockchain Strategy, and it's a great place to start expanding your knowledge set. The eight-week course gives students the skills they need to apply blockchain to a 21st century workforce, regardless of their expertise or industry.  Read more...
