    EP11 - How to Scan a QR Code

    Part 1: What Is a QR Code? A QR code is a small square pattern of black and white dots. Hidden inside is a web address or some information. When your camera looks at it, it automatically opens the right menu, web page, or payment screen — so you don't have to type anything long. Part 2: How to Scan One The easiest way: open your Camera app, just as if you were taking a photo, and point it at the QR code. Hold steady for a second or two. A small link or line of text pops up — tap it, and it opens. Part 3: Nothing Happening? If nothing appears, check that your lens is clean, you're pointing straight at it, and there's enough light. Some Android phones need you to switch on "Scan QR codes" in the camera settings first. Part 4: A Safety Tip After scanning, if a page asks for your bank card or password, be careful — make sure it's a genuine shop first. Don't scan random codes stuck up on the street. Codes at proper restaurants and shops are fine to use. Share this episode with a friend who might find it helpful. See you next time on GrandTechTV.

    EP11 - 如何扫描二维码

    第一部分：什么是二维码？ 二维码就是一个黑白方格的小图案，里面藏了一个网址或者信息。手机镜头对准它，就会自动打开对应的选单、网页或者付款页面。 第二部分：怎么扫描？ 最简单的方法：打开手机的「相机」App，就像要拍照一样，把镜头对准那个二维码，停一两秒。屏幕上会跳出一航字或者一个链接，点一下它，就会打开。 第三部分：扫了没反应怎么办？ 如果对准了没反应，先确认镜头干净、对得够正、光线够亮。部分安卓手机要先在相机的设置里打开「扫描二维码」这个功能。 第四部分：安全小提示 扫码之后如果跳出要你输入银行卡、密码的页面，要特别小心，先看清楚是不是正规的店。街上乱贴的、不认识的二维码，不要乱扫。正规餐厅、商店的就放心用。

    EP 10 - How to Record Audio on Your Phone

    Part 1: Where Is the Recorder? iPhones have a Voice Memos app - the icon looks like sound waves. On Android it's called Recorder or Sound Recorder. If you can't find it, swipe down on your phone and search for "record." Part 2: How to Start Recording Open the app. In the middle is a big red dot - tap it once and recording begins. Hold the phone a little closer to whoever's speaking for clearer sound. When you're done, tap the red dot again, or Stop. Part 3: Listening Back Your recordings are listed below - tap one to play it. You can rename it, for example "heart doctor visit," so it's easy to find later. Part 4: Two Thoughtful Uses Besides doctor visits, use it to capture a sudden thought, a shopping reminder, or a little message for family. A tip: before recording someone else, it's polite to let them know first. Today we learned how to record audio on your phone. Next time you see the doctor, let it help you remember every instruction.

    EP10 - 如何用手机录音

    第一部分：录音 App 在哪？ 苹果手机有一个「语音备忘录」App，图标是一条一条的声波。安卓手机叫「录音机」或者「音频记录」。找不到的话，在手机上拉下来搜「录音」两个字就能找到。 第二部分：怎么开始录？ 打开 App，中间有一个大大的红色圆点，按一下就开始录了。把手机放近一点说话的人，声音会更清楚。录完了，再按一下那个红点，或者「停止」。 第三部分：怎么听？ 录好的录音会一条一条列在下面，点一下就会播放。你可以给它改个名字，比如「看心脏医生」，以后就容易搜得到。录别人说话前，最好先告诉对方一声，礼貌一点。 今天学了如何用手机录音。下次看医生，记得用它帮你记住。记得分享给朋友，我们下次见！
