The 'fly' in this ointment

The 'fly' in this ointment

In my mind, the main question that bugs me about this stock and 'Ortsbo' is "Where in heck does the translation come from?". There's lots of speculation and rumers. Maybe Google? Maybe Microsoft? But nobody knows for sure except the company and they're not talking.

In my mind, if the Company had their own software and some crackass developers working for them they would want to brag about it. Their silence leads to the speculation. If they use third party software, they are limited by the product and the licensing arangement.

The limitations of the translation are also on my mind. As I understand it, the "words" at live events need to be typed into the 'translater' by a stenographer. There is apparently no voice recognition involved. Apple does have voice recognition in ???languages in their little iPhone. Does Ortsbo have anything like that in the works?

Agreed, the application on social media is great but the world is quickly moving away from the keyboard. I need to know if Ortsbo can and will be moving in that direction. If not, then their lifespan will be short.

It really 'ticks' me that they would keep the very core of their product secret.
