I always open the link in an incognito window and login with the email it was shared with. Have to re-login, but works without fail. And I don't have to logout of other accounts.

I ran Scribie. http://scribie.com.

I started it in August 2008 and was the only person working on it for 5 years. In 2013 we established our first QA center and now we are around 20.

building a sustainable business

Congrats to the Redbus guys. They were the team that got selected for the TiE EAP program in 2008 where I had pitched my idea too. Amazing to see that in 5 years, they've built a company that's worth 138M. Awesome stuff!

Thanks. Just posted on Twitter asking about the transcript. We'd have gladly done this for free.

Where to email? The email field in the profile is not public.

It's hilarious to imagine the effects of software glitches. Like getting the wrong suggestions for the date scenario. Or wrong instructions for a task.

I switched solely for the reason Zsh has command substring search. It's a huge timesaver for some who spends more than 50% of time on the terminal.

What about encrypted content? Is that disallowed too?

Not all architects have a programming background. Eg. in Lucent, the architects where postdocs and PhD's in wireless technologies and related fields. I think even Google has postdocs as architects.

I once took my client who was visiting from US to a city tour of New Delhi. It was routine India Gate, Red Fort, Jantar Mantar stuff. She seemed unimpressed. But we happened to pass through a slum area and her eyes just lit up. She was shocked and amazed, but happy that her trip was now complete. It was disgusting.

How was this hacked? Passwords where stored in plain text? or were they brute forced?

Scribie.com, Remote, Fulltime.

I have been running Solo founder for the past few years and things are growing beyond me now. I am looking to hire the first full time developer now. We use PHP+MySQL and NodeJS for backend, HTML5/JS for frontend and lots of things in between.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote - Scribie.com

The immediate thing we need done is developing a JavaScript based text editor which is tightly integrated with a HTML5 audio player. Contact for more details.

Would love it if you can try out our service, Scribie.com once too. Just for comparison sakes.

And India too.

Right now it's all done manually. I experimented with CMU Sphinx II when I started but results were poor. The main problem was actually the recording quality, eg. background noises, people talking over each other etc. I plan to revisit it once again and try. Maybe things have improved.

I'm a solo founder at Scribie.com. My first venture was a embedded startup which failed and we closed it down in 2008. I decided to go it solo and released a free Skype recording app called CallGraph. It was based on some of the work I had done in my failed startup. The idea was follow the Freemium model and make money off paid services. One of the services was audio transcription and that took off. In that process I discovered transcription was a big pain and decided to develop a system which takes out as much pain as possible out of it and works reliably. The result is Scribie.com.

I've been living off Scribie for the past two years and it's been fun. It pays my bills and I've learnt a hell lot--didn't know anything about web development when I started--and I consider it a success. There's a lot to do still and I hope I'll be able to grow it into a big business some day.

Why can't it be both native and web apps sharing the application space together? Each have their own strengths and one does not necessarily have to dominate over the other. There will always be use cases where a native app makes more sense and vice-verse. There is enough depth and breadth in the applications domain to allow both of them to thrive.

Looks awesome. I would love to see a clone of BankSimple in India. The bureaucracy will be a pain but if you can successfully navigate it and create a simple no-frills online only bank, it will be a great success.

I used Detours years ago to hook into the Wave I/O API and DirectSound to capture the audio I/O. I was blown away by the power of API Hooking. Nothing concrete came out of it but it was a lot of fun.

"These include people who have never set foot in the United States in their entire lives... "

Can you elaborate on that? It sounds a bit incredulous.

I was looking for details on SmartOS. What is it and what does it run?
