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 c…

Nice, but the first thing I always try with these things is negative phrases. E.g. "show me shoes that are not Adidas" doesn't seem to work.

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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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