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.”
