Thanks for the kind words. SpeakerText was acquired over the summer. Unfortunately, having awesome technology and improving journalism on the web are not the same as being able to make truckloads if money.

Who acquired it?
- isaacn 14y ago
  According to a recent GigaOM Pro Sector RoadMap article on crowd labor platforms in 2012 (http://go.gigaom.com/rs/gigaom/images/RoadMap2012_GigaOM%20Pro_free_report.pdf http://go.gigaom.com/rs/gigaom/images/RoadMap2012_GigaOM%20P...), CloudFactory (http://cloudfactory.com http://cloudfactory.com) acquired Speakertext/Humanoid. I haven't seen any other news to confirm that acquisition or the terms, but I don't doubt that it happened. Full Disclosure: I was interviewed for this GigaOM Sector Roadmap article. I believe the SpeakerText guys were also interviewed for the article. Cheers, - Isaac
