In today's fast-paced business world, staying productive is crucial. Here are some top apps that can help you manage tasks, communicate effectively, and enhance your overall productivity.
For overall business productivity and task management, Todoist and Asana are widely used for organizing tasks, projects, and collaboration with team members across platforms. Plaky is also noted for creating efficient workflows in teams and organizations.
If speech-to-text capabilities are what you're after, Otter.ai is a leading app used for transcription and note-taking, converting speech to text accurately for meetings and presentations.
When it comes to employment issues, while no specific app is highlighted, apps like RingCentral and Slack (with integrated AI tools) often support HR and employee communication. However, specialized employment law or HR guidance apps are usually separate and may require dedicated legal or HR platforms.
Business card digitization and public speaking apps are not directly covered in these results, but popular mobile apps in these fields generally include CamCard or ABBYY Business Card Reader, which scan and organize contact details digitally. For public speaking, apps like Loom (for video communication) and Fireflies (AI meeting assistant) support recording and transcription, which can be helpful for practice and feedback.

CamCard, available for Android or iOS, allows users to digitise contacts from business cards by taking a photo. This app is particularly useful for networking events and conferences.
Lastly, for accessing your organization's business applications from tablets running Android or iOS, Citrix Receiver is a free app that requires the applications to have been virtualised using Citrix's application virtualisation infrastructure.
