Would the creator(s) of Be My Eyes pitch in here and share their view of non-profit vs. for-profit? For instance, our company, Robin Labs, develops voice-driven solutions, technology that should be almost perfect for the visually impaired.

The article presents a one-sided story at best. I actually interviewed at Google for "project that shall not be named" in June 2009, with Sebastian Thrun and Chris Urmson (the current head of the project). I could tell the project

Andrej, I totally get it, but I think what you have some far may already be pretty good to form the foundation of a product that has a clear/big need in the market. If you'd like to dig in a bit more and bounce ideas, ping me at i

I saw the JS demos a few months ago and was blown away. It seems like the community is really thirsty for NN tools and materials, and the way you are going about this (interactive JS) is right on the money? Why not engage the community to k

How come nobody mentioned Umano? While driving (or doing something else), you can listen to stories you'd otherwise read.

Good old LiveJournal used to have mood tags for posts. Sounds like you may want to explore something similar. Good luck!

Love the logo, but I am wondering what makes blogging on mobile so different? Is it the small keyboard? Do we really need a radically different tool?

It is possible, but you'll get a higher accuracy of everything if things are done server-side, at least for now.

So you can use it in your car. Commutes are exactly when I wish I could use the time better, e.g., catch up on my email.

Valid point, but speech recognition on mobile is improving very rapidly - e.g., see Robin - our other Android app. Also, email messages give you the context which makes it easier for the NLU engine to extract the meaning of your utterance

We are intentionally focusing in those 10% first, because email is a very broad use case. For now, you can think of it as a tool to catch up on email while driving or on the run.
