Transforming Spoken Messages Into Text

Jott transforms spoken messages into text. After signing up for the service online and validating their phone number and email address, users dial Jott’s toll free number (877-568-8486), say ‘me’ or the name of a contact or group of contacts, speak for up to 30 seconds and then hang up. Jott transcribes the spoken words into writing, and sends the message to its destination as an email or text message. Transcription usually takes a few minutes, or up to 20 minutes during peak hours. The original audio message is retained, and is linked to in the email for reference.
Jott is currently free, but will at one point offer members the choice between a free, ad-supported version, or a premium version for a fee. Which could bring in tidy revenues, since this is exactly the type of service that users are more than willing to pay for once they’ve incorporated it into their daily routine. Jott is only available in the United States and Canada. So, partner with them and/or set up your own local version. Offshore outsourcing will be more difficult if your language is, say, Swedish or Japanese, but that’s a challenge to overcome. And if you work in (mobile) telecom, we’re sure you can come up with a few interesting implications and appealing opportunities.

I Let You

iletyou lets you, and anyone else, set up a NetFlix-like video and game rental store in a matter of minutes. The San Diego-based start-up is aiming to give consumers access to an estimated 10 billion DVDs that can be found in US households alone, allowing both individuals and independent brick and mortar stores to set up shop online.

There's no minimum number of DVDs or games to get started, which means that anyone with a collection can start renting out to people with similar tastes. The rental economy, transumers briefing, caters to consumers more interested in experiences than ownership.

Go BIG Network

The Go BIG Network has published data showing that funding requests by small businesses were down during the first quarter of 2007. The average amount of funding requested was $$928,875, down from $1,073,359 in the previous quarter.

That’s according to the Go BIG Network’s Small Business Funding Review (PDF), which notes:

The Go BIG Network’s survey includes funding requests made on its Web site of more than 40,000 small businesses in the first quarter of 2007 by entrepreneurs and startup companies seeking angel investment capital, small business funding and venture capital. The Go BIG Network connects entrepreneurs and small businesses to early stage investment sources to help fund startup companies.

Go BIG Network is another of the growing group of service providers that make available aggregated data of actual usage. In other words, this is not a survey. Rather, it is data of actual requests for funding by entrepreneurs.
