It is good to see one’s product hit the market. OK, it is not my product, but I built it. Before I started eZee, I provided mobile expertise/services to others (this helped pay the bills and bootstrap in the meantime). One of those products I developed is Edigo, a language learning Java ME application for a startup called Edioma. Not that I’m biased, but I have to admit that it is a pretty cool application, a very simple but effective approach to learning (or accessing) needed phrases right when needed.
…and it is good to see the first version of application finally launching:
“The service works in two ways: you can have up to ten kits that have dozens of phrases and words tied to situational needs like banking or shopping. When a speaker needs to say something in English, they just look up the phrase in Spanish and then choose one. On the screen, the English phrase pops up while a voice speaks the words in English. A user can either listen and repeat the words, hand the phone to an English listener or use the service to memorize the phrases for later.”

very interesting new technology within the realms of language learning but I’m not sure if it will take off other than to assist people as a translator.
