Could it one day be reality?

Entrepreneurial Idea: "There's an app for that." Or so they say, but there's no app for changing the language interface on an Android phone. We are forced to go with an Iphone or a weird unresponsive smartphone to get the language setting we want. Android is getting better and better every passing day, but they are still losing out on a lot of customers because of no option to change the language setting like one can do on an Iphone. My idea is for an app that can do that. The day we can all have ANY phone of our choice with the language we understand will be the day cellular devices take a great leap into the future.


The idea above seems very simple in words, right? It's not-not anymore that is. After many additions to the program it's a lot more than what it use to be. It's an idea that came out of a want to help my parents, now if it were to ever come to fruition it may help many more in the world than just my parents. It's a big idea, bigger than what I originally intended because of all the additions. Ready for a run through?

In this day and age, news spreads in an instant. Gone are the days of waiting until something became old news. Now we have things like IM and social networks. One of the most well known and frequently used one is Facebook. If people really thought about it Facebook is actually a free advertising website. The number of "likes" on just website alone can generate enough notice for an idea that it may eventually take off. After letting the public know more about this app it's time to make the app more customer friendly so that more people will more likely use it and rate it well.

In order to keep up with customers it's wise to also keep up with the company internally. Inside the operations of the company things must be in order. Using software such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access keeps the company in order. As the app gains more and more followers better equipment is needed for all the improvements that the app has integrated into it's original design (i.e. the addition of cloud storage, and saving translations.) Included with the extra pieces of equipment would be m RAM and cache.

This is IF this can be accomplished. This is a big IF. In order for this to happen more people have to have the desire to help the people in our country who do not speak or read English really well and therefore has a very hard time using their electronic devices. A lead programmer would be needed in order to create this program. Then after this somehow get it to the public through one of the app stores.

After this- we may or may not make enough revenue to continue, but if we do; would that be enough revenue to get all the new gear that may be needed to expand even further? Probably not so more investors would be needed. When there is a good amount of money to use, then it's back to work. We can then start adding a lot more improvements and make the app a global thing and a lot more than what it use to be so that it can stick around to help others from all around the world. Maybe it'll happen one day, maybe.

Safety First

Entrepreneurial Idea: "There's an app for that." Or so they say, but there's no app for changing the language interface on an Android phone. We are forced to go with an Iphone or a weird unresponsive smartphone to get the language setting we want. Android is getting better and better every passing day, but they are still losing out on a lot of customers because of no option to change the language setting like one can do on an Iphone. My idea is for an app that can do that. The day we can all have ANY phone of our choice with the language we understand will be the day cellular devices take a great leap into the future.

Ok, let's backtrack. Remember that idea in the blog titled "Technical Improvements" where one can save their speech translations and then save it on a cloud? There can be a lot of security risks if this app is used by a corporation. Some of the conversations may contain very sensitive information that other people (outsiders) shouldn't have access to. In a world that is becoming more technologically advanced by the second there are also people out there who work every second on how to break the security on these advancements. These people include hackers- who just basically try to hack into a database. Then there are "crackers" who will probably try to access an employees recorded messages by trying to figure out their username and password. Finally comes the hardest to deal with and hardest to fish out threats, "corporate spies" i.e. unethical employees, they try to gain  high level access in a corporation in order to access information. Great...what to do now?

Just like every second technology is being improved, and every second people try to break the security measures put in place to protect sensitive information, there are also people working on trying to stop these people from accessing this information. These kind of people are the saviors of privacy on the internet. They have developed a system called, "Firewalls" that protects data from unauthorized intrusions by constantly monitoring transmissions to and from the computer. So, in the event that something malicious, like a virus were to attack, the system would know right away so that the virus can be quarantined immediately. I guess putting out a few extra bucks won't hurt, if you want your data safe.

So, are you afraid that your data will be stolen, or accessed without your permission? Don't worry the translation app has you covered. It already comes with all the necessary protection software that it needs to keep everything safe and away from prying eyes. Rest assured that everything that needs to be kept private, will be kept private. Then, to add icing to the cake you can also customize the app's security settings- that is also protected by an encryption (people who do not have the proper access codes cannot tamper with the security settings) so that you can monitor exactly what goes in and out.

Operating the Operating System

Entrepreneurial Idea: "There's an app for that." Or so they say, but there's no app for changing the language interface on an Android phone. We are forced to go with an Iphone or a weird unresponsive smartphone to get the language setting we want. Android is getting better and better every passing day, but they are still losing out on a lot of customers because of no option to change the language setting like one can do on an Iphone. My idea is for an app that can do that. The day we can all have ANY phone of our choice with the language we understand will be the day cellular devices take a great leap into the future.

In this day and age there are all sorts of phones, and to make life more difficult for the general public they DON'T OPERATE ON ONE SYSTEM! As if life wasn't hard enough, we now have to deal with all these different operating systems. There is Apple, Android, Blackberry, Palm (not really around anymore...) The app that I want to create will probably not be useful for Apple based cellphones, but it definitely will be useful for Android, Blackberry, and Palms devices. However, here's another problem; each operating system's app market isn't based off the same operating system, but don't worry we have you covered. The app will hopefully be very configurable so that no matter which market you download it from it will work for your phone. Accessible to all is how things like this should be.

Speaking of accessible to all, how does the idea of open source sound like to all you techy configure-ers? Do you have a great idea for how to make this app better, would you like to configure it to your liking? You wouldn't have to pay a penny from your pocket for the codes on the app to fiddle around with it. Also, you can redistribute it! How awesome is that? If you want you can pay a fee for support, but that's totally up to you. If some how you third part developers can somehow make it so that no matter the OS everyone's app is the same, then you've just landed yourself a new job!

Sharing is caring, that's how the world should operate a bit more. There is just too much of a political thing going on  along with corporate greed. There is always a very innovative and smart person out there who is just waiting for the opportune moment to turn the tables of their life. It would be nice if the company of a developing app could help them, maybe they would turn around and help us. A world where even operating systems are the same will hopefully bring the people of our world a bit closer to each other.
