Automatic “Off Time” While Driving
Why?
Reading text while driving, or worse, answering to text received on your phone is very dangerous.
How?
A function of the phone that detects when you are in a car and driving and ask if you are the driver. If you answer yes or just don’t respond to the phone will turn off notifications for received texts.

Get the Right Image for Your Blog Post Without Wasting Time Searching for It
Why?
If you publish articles and posts on your own, you want to enhance them with an image, a photo or an icon. It’s tedious and time-consuming to search for the right image with the right license.
How?
Have a search engine that takes text or a URL of a web page, and based on that text find you the right images with the right license (probably some version of Creative Commons.)

Practice You Part in a Play or an Audition When You Don’t Have Someone to Help You
Why?
You are preparing for you part in a play or an audition, and there is no one who can help you by reading you the lines.
How?
An app that reads the lines to you aloud, waits for you to say your lines, then continues reading lines to you until you stop the process or the end of the text is reached. If it’s a known text then you just have to choose who you are playing in the scene. If not, you can take a photo of the text, the app will do some OCR and let you choose your part. The app can also have an animated head articulating the words it’s reading to you.

Never Lose Your Favorite Quotes
Why?
It would be very useful to immediately be able to highlight something you read, and have it in an online library with a link to the original document.
How?
Have an iPhone extension (and comparable solution on Android phones) you can use when you read something and would like you can invoke when you selected a text in a document that has a URL. When invoked the extension should save the selected text with a link to the original document URL in your own online repository that you can access anytime on the web or with the app of the extension.
