   Yup, voice records are generated via Google speech API. Voice recognition is webkit speech input, only supported in Google Chrome. The application itself uses AngularJS. This thing wouldn't have been possible without Google really.

   I am terribly sorry if it came across like this. To be honest, the only reason I did not have a public subscription page is that I was too lazy to add logic for displaying buttons with "account signup" links, instead of "paym

   Wow I didn't know about this product. It looks really advanced, would be good opportunity to see the other players in the market. I think one advantage I have over this product is, SayAfter.me stores ever growing stats of word/phr

   Adding other languages and American English is on the roadmap, never thought about other accents of English though.

   Well the only evidence I have personally seen is the improvement of my wife's pronunciation. She doesn't mispronounce the words she practised anymore. Also I got positive feedback from the early beta users (other students & En

   Good idea, unfortunately not everyone has access to native speakers in their social circles. Another nice hack for practising speech is calling free phone support of various companies/products and tell them about your problem with thei

   Yeah the video does not have correct grammar in some sentences. Actual human speech is on the roadmap but not until I fix the main issue, which is finding a repeatable marketing/sales cycle. Open to suggestions though!

    I actually talked to some Firefox Devs at the State of the Browser conference. Unfortunately they said that speech input for Firefox will not be available unless Google decides to open source their speech recognition technology or give away

    Noted, I tried to use "simple language", so it wouldn't scare off non-technical people. I think I got it way too simple. Thanks.

    Thanks! We live in London, so British English was the way to go. If I ever get to work on this full time, not only I will add American English, but also Spanish, German, French ASAP.

    It would be easier to escape to Turkey first. Later on you can try your chances with European countries via their embassies in Ankara or Istanbul.

    I actually talked to a friend and showed him the app who was receiving speech therapy for his stammer. He told me that they are doing "similar" exercises in therapy sessions. So there may be a market, yes. I will research this sub

    If I had read this reply 3 years ago, I would have called you "racist". But after spending time with engineers from different countries, I believe having an understandable English accent is not a nice thing to have, but rather a p

    If used right, this would disrupt home security industry so hard. It would be possible to get rid of any motion detectors, if I am not mistaken.

    I decided to use AngularJS on a side project of mine, after considering Backbone and EmberJS. I am not a JS expert, but I am pretty sure AngularJS will be an industry standard in a few years.

    This is really cool. Is there way to set maximum/minimum word lengths for the checkboxes? Because I wouldn't really want a long domain for any of my sites.

    This looks pretty cool, but I also have the impression that we may be DDoS'ing some service by 'burst' searching through this tool. Is it the case?
