The Twile team were at RootsTech 2017 last week, at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, one year after we won 2 awards there in the Innovator Showdown.

QromaTag is a new smarter way to add metadata to photos using voice recognition and a natural language description. We use machine learning to find things likes dates, locations and people and automatically create the right tags. QromaTag is an iOS application and mac software application that allows you to use voice recognition to rename photo files and add keywords, dates, locations, and other metadata that will be attached to the photo, similar to writing on the back of a physical/analog photograph. . QromaTag – is an app that helps tag your photos. Tell the app the date, location and people in your photos and QromaTag creates industry standard photo metadata tags that are embedded into your images that go wherever your photos go. Add your story to any photo using your iPhone and your voice. Digital tagging of family photos with metadata and linking to GEDmatch files. As the winner is announced I'll update the list and add more information. If you are among the fortunate twelve thousand or so of my closest genealogical colleagues who have joined me in Salt. Five teams made it through to the final of the Innovator Showdown competition on Friday, 10th February. Congratulations to Old News USA (1st), Qromatag (2nd), Double Match Triangulator (3rd) and Kindex with the coveted People’s Choice award! As one of last year’s winners, Twile were invited back on stage to give an update on what we’ve.

Last year there was a huge buzz around Twile, because we were pitching in the competition and because we were introducing Twile for the first time to most people. And the buzz was still there this time – RootsTech is such an exciting experience for family historians and we love being among such enthusiastic people!

Here are our five highlights from RootsTech 2017:

  1. Twile is now FREE for everyone
    On the first day of RootsTech, we announced we were dropping the subscription fee for Twile and making it completely free for everybody to use. Needless to say, this was a very popular piece of news and we had a lot of new customers very excited to start using our family history timeline.
  2. Family history infographic
    We showcased our new family history infographic at RootsTech, allowing attendees to sign up and get their free “My Family In Numbers” chart, based on their FamilySearch or GEDCOM tree. Get yours for free at: https://twile.com/numbers
  3. Innovator Showdown
    Five teams made it through to the final of the Innovator Showdown competition on Friday, 10th February. Congratulations to Old News USA (1st), Qromatag (2nd), Double Match Triangulator (3rd) and Kindex with the coveted People’s Choice award! As one of last year’s winners, Twile were invited back on stage to give an update on what we’ve been up to since then.
  4. LeVar Burton’s keynote speech
    The keynotes are a big part of the RootsTech conference and the highlight for many was LeVar Burton’s speech on Friday morning. The actor, best known for his roles as Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Kunta Kinte in Roots, gave a truly heartwarming talk about his relationship with his mother, his African heritage and slavery in the United States.
  5. The exhibition hall
    If you’ve never been to RootsTech, you’ll struggle to comprehend how big it is! More than 30,000 people visited the exhibition hall during the 3 days of the show and there was never a quiet moment on the Twile booth. We spoke with so many customers and made some fantastic contacts with exhibiting brands (big and small), forming the seeds of some really promising partnerships.

And Twile appeared on Utah’s KSL News as the exhibition was getting set up:

RootsTech 2018 is on 28 February – 3 March and Twile will most certainly be there!

Save a bundle on Qroma Photo tools and then Scan & Tag your Photos the Easy Way!

Do you have one or more photo scanning projects that you want to FINALLY tackle during the #stayhome period? Or do you have tons of digital images that need to be sorted and classified? Well I’ve got several products – for both iOS and Mac – from Qroma that you MUST take a look at. You won’t believe how easy these tools make the entire process of scanning, cataloging and preserving your precious family photos.

What is the MOST TEDIOUS Part of Your Photo Project?

I’ve written many articles on how to preserve family photos and I even have a lecture entitled You Can Do This: Photo Digitization and Preservation. I know how tedious the work can be and this is what leads many of us to “put it off.” You keep delaying and guess what? You never get to complete the important task of making sure your family legacy endures after you’ve gone.

If I were to ask you what part of the process is most time-consuming and least enjoyable, what would say?

  • Scanning the images
  • Naming and sorting the digital images into folders
  • Using metadata to “tag” the images

All of these are a “pain” as far as I’m concerned and there is only so much you can do to streamline the process, right? Well, that’s what I thought up until I discovered Qroma’s products, especially QromaScan and QromaTag.

QromaScan – Turn Your iPhone into a Scanning and Tagging Powerhouse

Aromatagr

The QromaScan USB Bundle is everything you need to turn your iPhone into a scanning and tagging powerhouse. Scan and tag your photos in one step the easy way. This means that you capture an image and transfer searchable and viewable family history in one step and whoever gets that photos gets everything they need to be able to find your photo and learn the story behind it.

Natural Language Tagging makes easy to tag images. Just say your story your own way and the technical process of what fields to tag and how to tag them gets handled by QromaScan.

QromaTag – Innovative Natural Language Tagging with Your Own Voice

Qroma Tag

And what about tagging photos and adding descriptive information? Well, tagging photos can sometimes be as much fun as filling out a spreadsheet. While I find the concept of metadata amazing and it is such a joy to teach metadata to genealogists, it is time consuming! What if I could just “speak” the info into a microphone and the metadata would be magically added to the digital file?

QromaTag and its innovative Natural Language Tagging voice recognition engine makes the process simple and easy. Using your own voice, describe your photos and QromaTag uses natural language voice recognition technology to automatically detect important pieces of metadata such as the date the photo was taken, the location and people in the photo. In a flash, your photos are scanned and tagged in one step with your story safely stored inside the metadata.

And here’s something I LOVE about QromaTag . . . now you can set up these “quick lists” of terms to speed up the process. Example, if you are telling QromaTag that the subjects in the photo are your mother and father, it will translate the term “mother” or “Mom” to your mother’s actual name! You can set up lists or locations, addresses, events, people and more!
