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!
Oh no!! Is he ok? I will be on chat later. I have to run out and vote and be one less or something.
Thank you everyone!
Now I need a software name. And....go......
Yeah, he chose life (he almost didn't since we managed to let him tumble headfirst off the couch Sunday night...aren't we awesome?) but yeah....get on chat later. I gots stuff to tell you.
Software name:
Can You Hear Me Now? Good.

That's so exciting, Winged!
Might I suggest:
Ear Raper
or if that's not your cup of tea or pc enough... Ear Commandeer

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.
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.
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.
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!
