i like the second one the best. I'm pretty certain that most of the manuals are out there in PDF format already. Organizing / finding them all would be a bit of work, but it's doable.
- maxklein 17y agoI'm sure mturk would take only a few days, even for 20.000 devices.
- e1ven 17y agoThere's a bit of a copyright problem, there- You can't just scan in documents and offer them out as PDF, hoping for the best. The way early-stage companies sometimes get around this is to allow user-uploads, and then close their eyes and humm to avoid knowing what's in them. See: Youtube, Scribd.
- maxklein 17y agoBut why would companies care about their manuals being in users hands? Imagine the app launches first, then starts negotiating with the companies - I doubt that one would get sued.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoCopyright isn't an issue here. Honest truth, you could directly link to the manuals.
- maxklein 17y agoOr a link to your website that redirects to the manual. So if the manual is moved, your app does not break.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoI was thinking mturk. setup a job for major manufacturers and let it run. need to make sure there's no overlap.
