I am starting my own company.

So, for years I have wanted to develop a communication software for non-verbal people. Like this has been a dream of mine since I started school for my career. But there have always been issues with having a way to market it to companies that would provide the hardware.

But now, with the iPad, it can become a reality. The iTouch and iPhone were really too small to market to some of our audience.

There are 4 of us starting this. We are meeting with an attorney next week to work out some details and we have someone on tap to write our code.

I am so freaking excited and a bundle of nerves all at once. I cannot believe this is happening.

    I know. I was never able to figure out my schedule and haven't caught you on chat, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway since he came down with croup.

  • That's great, Winged!  I don't know which response is appropriate when starting a business, so: 

    Best wishes!

    Break a leg!

    Congratulations!

    Way to go!

  • Software name: 

    Can You Hear Me Now? Good.

    image Ready to rumble.
  • Wow, that's awesome!  (Not wow, just wow.)  Very impressive, indeed.  So is this something you're going to put together and then it's just a matter of selling it, or will you eventually need to quit your current job to do this new thing full time?

  • That's so exciting.  It's got to be nervewracking (wracking?) but the fact that you're already at the meeting with an attorney phase is fantastic.  I'm so happy for you, and I wish you the best of luck!

    I Can Hear Clearly Now the Ear Sprain is Gone
    Sounds Abound
    Holy Sh!t, what was that?!

    This is something I am doing in hopes of not having to work in my current job. But for now this is something we would all do on the side. It just depends on if and how well it develops.

    imageJen&Joe06:
    So will it be an app that people can download? Will you only be targeting the ipad?

    It will be an app. We are looking first into developing it for ipad since that seems to be the most widely used device and there are some other apps out there that are similar but not the same in terms of target audience that are doing gangbusters (one did 200 mil in sales last year). But I want to branch out. And seriously we would hope to be picked up by an AugComm company one day but that will take some time.

    imageCaliopeSpidrman:

    Yes, for non-speakers who can hear. Like Stephen Hawking. I totally hope to be on the Simpsons one day.

     

    And brav-freaking-vo everyone on the names. Every time I think I am dead I read another one.

  • This is really awesome, congratulations and good luck! Please give me all of the info when it's released (or if you do a test demo) and I'll happily pass the info along to all of my OT friends! Royalties! Cha-ching!

  • I didn't realize it was for non speakers.  That changes everything.  How about:

    Unmute

    Technotongue

    Robolarynx

    I Can't Believe it's not your real voice!
