Competitive Analysis

 My entrepreneurial idea is an application for all smart phones and Ipods. The application will give you the ability to sing lyrics into your phone  and the application will recognize the song and give you the opportunity to download the song. It will also serve as a music player so you will be able to save the recognized songs to the music player. The name of the application is "Song Recognizer".

   There are two big differences between my product and Shazam. One of those major differences is that with Shazam you have to put your device to music for it to read it. for my product you can either do that or you can actually sing into your device and have the application read the song that way. The other big difference is that with my product the application can also serve as a media player and allow to use the application to play music this allows all your music to be in one spot.
  http://www.soundhound.com/
   Just like with Shazam my product also has some differences from Soundhound. One of those differences being the ability to sing for song recognition again like it was with Shazam. Also another difference between the applications is that my product doesn't have the ability to show live lyrics for songs. Another difference between the two applications is that my application gives you the ability to record your voice when using the song recognition and then once you do that you can share it to social media sites where you and your friends can share a laugh.
   Finally my application differs from both Soundhound and Shazam because of the fact that you have the option to sing into the device for voice recognition unlike the two other applications. The other big difference is the way my application connects to social media. These differences allow my product to standout from these products so that my application isn't too simliar to Soundhound and Shazam.

Lecture post 2

  My entrepreneurial idea is an application for all smart phones and Ipods. The application will give you the ability to sing lyrics into your phone  and the application will recognize the song and give you the opportunity to download the song. It will also serve as a music player so you will be able to save the recognized songs to the music player. The name of the application is "Song Recognizer".
     Aspects of our recent lectures about computer hardware, computer forensics and the system unit  discussed factors that deal with my application. One of those being nanotechnology since my entrepreneurial idea is a application nanotechnology will be used in the mobile devices that will carry the phone. For example phones will use smaller memory chips compared a computer or laptop with its RAM so the information. The nanotechnology allows for smart phones to do the things they do with applications and with the use of the internet which allows the application to be useful and effective on mobile devices.
    The application will also give you the ability to sync your songs on the application to the computer so that you can also have the music on your home computer. To do this you will need to make use of a USB port so that you can transfer song from your mobile device to your computer or use an SD card so you can transfer the music that way. Since this is a application you will be able to purchase the songs with the same way you purchase the application through your phone carrier so the problem with identity theft when credit or debit cards isn't there.
     Computer forensics, computer hardware, and the system unit is an important part of mt application. without it it would be impossible for my application to be used on mobile devices due to nanotechnology. It would also not be possible to share the music with your home computer of it wasn't for the USB ports, well it wouldn't be impossible but the process would be a lot slower.  Computer forensics, computer hardware, and the system unit increases the functionality and speed of the application making it better for users.

It will also serve as a music player so you will be able to save the recognized songs to the music player. The name of the application is "Song Recognizer".
   Social media cane be used to enhance this application in multiple ways. one of those ways will be to promote the application so that more people know about it. Social media will do this by us putting advertisements on different social media sites like Facebook. that will allow the word about the product to spread.
   Another social media could affect this application is by connecting social media in the way instagram is. It would work like this you record yourself attempting to sing a song into your mobile device and the application will then record your voice and give you the option to post the sound byte on Facebook or to tweet it. This way you and your friends can share a laugh over your ability to sing. It would be like karaoke but through social media.
    Ultimately social media will allow this application to connect in different ways giving people the chance to show off their singing "talents" to their friends and it will also make it easier to promote the application so more people are using it.

Application: voice to music reader

     My entrepreneurial idea is an application for all smart phones and Ipods. The application will give you the ability to sing lyrics into your phone  and the application will recognize the song and give you the opportunity to download the song. It will also serve as a music player so you will be able to save the recognized songs to the music player. The name of the application is "Song Recognizer".
     To use the application you will have to download the app from your application store. then you will need to hold the button that says "speak". Once you hold down this button you can begin to sing the lyrics of the song you are thinking of. The app will then search for the song that you sang. When it finds the song it will pay it and then it will give you three options. The options will be to download the song, add the song to the music player or to do both.After that you can continue to use the app as previously stated.
     This app will be very useful for those days when a random song pops into your head and it is nearly impossible for you to remember the name of the song so you can download it. This app also helps for when you just want to download music in a hands free way that doesn't involve typing in songs. The "Song Recognizer" will bring a new experience when it comes to downloading music.
