He showed us an example of Sarah Palin in an interview to illustrate how hard it can be to express what you're really trying to say. But this happens to everyone, not just her, and It happens in interviews, at conferences, etc. TranscriptsHQ takes what someone is saying and turning it into what they mean to say. Users of the service can transform audio content into the exact text, a summarization of the audio, and even a very concise, bulleted overview of the content. Pretty amazing! The service is ideal for journalists; students at local universities who want class notes transcribed; professionals can receive a summarization of their company meetings. Price is per minute, and ranges by the type of transcription needed. Examples of their transcriptions can be found over at www.hypepotamus.com.Finestra Art AppAn easy, interactive way to find and buy art. Use the app to scroll through tons of pieces of original art, you can even view it on your own wall to see how well it fits into your current decor. The app is very easy to use, offers lots of ways to choose the art that best suits your needs.
