- Or, we determine if the conversation topic is well suited to written English format. We use text messaging and apps/typing on laptops or tablets.
- If specialized vocab isn’t likely to come up in the conversation, we might use a speech-to-text app: Otter, Ava, Live Transcribe

Had to mention this app, Live Transcribe has made such a huge difference in communicating with my dad. He’s always been HOH but after his most recent stroke auditory processing was also impacted. He can read ok & this voice to text is quite accurate. Best $50 I’ll spend this yr

Are you traveling to a country where you don’t speak the language?
We’re looking for 10-15 people to try out Translator Gator 🐊.
I used it about 2 hours per day while traveling in Japan 🇯🇵 and Taiwan 🇹🇼. Completely transformed my experience.
Comment if you’d like to try it.
You’ve got an app business idea.
You’re not sure how to:
✅ Validate it
📢 Market it
🤷♂️ Who it’s for
💰How much to charge
🛑 When to stop
Just @ me and shoot your shot. I’ll consider investing up to $5k if it has a shot.
3. Use GPT-3 plus speech to text and text to speech to build a sleep chat bot.
You can chat with it at the end of the day when you’re winding downing trying to fall asleep.
Sure it’d be expensive. But if it actually helps people sleep, there’s a huge market for it.
Looking forward to one day have a team big enough to split out these research efforts. Pays dividends to know the bleeding edge.

This tweet from Sveta has an incredible set of very honest replies. To summarize:
Indie Entrepreneurship is:
- Incredibly lonely
- An emotional rollercoaster
- 5 different jobs at once
- A struggling bank account
- More marketing (than desired)
But ultimately? Feels worth it.
Happiness is the worlds best productivity hack.

Then reflect once a week on how you can improve.
There’s two things that I guarantee will always pay off for an early startup:
1. Learning how to better use a marketing channel you enjoy. (Buy a course or ask an expert)
2. Have a conversation with one of your target customers. (Or setup a way to talk to them, regularly.)
It’s never a bad time to take a deep breath, stretch, and take a 5 min walk outside. 🌞
That goes double for startup founders who haven’t reached profitability yet. 🙃
A happier you is more creative and better at problem solving. 🤔
Take care of yourself. The road is long. 🏃

Hitting people at their time of greatest need is so friggen simple. But it’s insanely powerful.
My best customers are those who’ve just lost their hearing.
