If your cost of transcription is above 10-15 cents/minute email me at 1000app at gmail and I can give you some feedback on how to get there. If you are already below, then Kudos.

Cost of transcription is not really the problem. The problem is quality.

I agree, I learned you have to have both human + machine to do this efficiently and with quality.

Nice project! 5 minute grumpy feedback: I don't like "flat design", maybe add some subtle color changes at least?

Thanks a ton for the feedback. This version is a somewhat handicapped version I could share, as the cart process is not ironed out.

I'm working on SAPpack, which is a Password manager tailored for SAP Consultants and developers http://www.sappack.com/ it helps you connect to everything SAP securely and easily with no setup.

Plus I have my side project, which is called http://mynativemap.com/ It's basically a list of Google maps in local languages, Because I hate when Google maps automatically chooses the language to use, So this forces the variable in the URL.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi, a custom-built wireless node based on Arduino, Python, Redis, and a…

could you, maybe, have him charge your phone at night or something?
