Website of the day: Type hands-free

Let’s face it: Nothing is cooler than being able to type hands-free with your voice. Dictation comes standard with many smartphones, but not all computers have the capability right out of the box.

That’s why Dictation.io is here to bridge the gap. The online dictation service lets you create full-fledged documents in your web browser and uses your computer’s microphone to transcribe your words into digital text.

The documents you create in Dictation.io can be saved and exported into common file formats like plain text and PDFs. You can also tweet your documents or have them read back to you via text-to-speech. Best of all, the dictation software actually picks up your voice quite well.

Give it a try and see how you can turn your words into text you can share online.

How to find hidden cameras

How to find hidden cameras

$43.99 / Amazon

I once found a dozen hidden cameras in an Airbnb, and not all were in plain sight. The best way to find them is using a scanner meant for the job. This one uses passive, wireless and infrared scanning to find cams within a 15-square-meter radius. It’s lightweight and portable, so you can bring it to an Airbnb or hotel.

Protect yourself for under $45.
