Speechly (https://www.speechly.com/) enables you to create new kind of voice user interfaces with real time visual feedback easily for any use case. Easy to use libraries available for iOS, web, React and Android. Great use cases: - any app that needs to input (modifiable) items, such as food/health tracking, fast food ordering, etc - any app that has search filtering (see fashion.speechly.com for a demo) - or of course anything that benefits from voice, such as innovative games, apps used on the go etc Check it out!

I have some Red Bull in the fridge for when https://www.albedo.space/ finally opens.

Ultra high resolution satellite imagery for $15 a pop, it’s ridiculous.

What are your plans to do with it? Create a reseller website?

Oh no, ridiculous in a good way. Prices in this space can be insane, and high resolution consumer stuff has only been legal for a year or two IIRC.

To answer though, secret wild hog tracking first off if it ends up good enough. Family has property and a nearby asshole running hog hunts with alarming frequency.
