Congratulations! As the other commenter mentioned, this seems like an extremely competitive space. But I did a quick Google for speech-to-text and your solution is a few times cheaper than most others. I know you may not want to share your

You create hotdog / not-hotdog API. It reads an image and returns hotdog or not-hotdog. You set API pricing at 1.5 cents per image analysis. Another company creates an Android hotdog/not-hotdog app. They price it at $5/month.

The most important thing for good sound is distance between the mic and your mouth - since SnR falls off with the square of distance. Some people use a standalone mic mounted to an arm on the front of their desk, but I find that to be too i

I tried the auto tab discard extension but it didn't help for me. I occasionally force kill FF and have it recover the previous session when it starts up again. Same thing to not lose state when rebooting my computer.

You don't need to regularly plug your spare house key into your computer to update the password DB on it. And even with spares people still get locked out and need locksmiths.
