Is there any way to view this page with the effects turned off? With all the text constantly appearing and disappearing, I haven't yet made it to the end of a sentence, and therefore can't form an opinion about it.

I think there was a picture of a robot on the screen for a few seconds, but that's all I remember.

Would disabling javascript do the trick?

Hi, fixed it! Thanks for that first feedback!

EDIT: All animations (except "What we do") should be disabled. Please, email me at willy@wit.ai if you still have issues.

Better, but it still seems to have lots of things happening on timers. So I still have things I'm trying to read disappearing out from under me.

I imagine as the developer you don't notice it. But as somebody trying to read a page, it's really jarring to have that happen. Enough so that I give up trying because I just want it to stop doing that to my eyes.

Any chance you could turn it off completely and just put some arrow icons on there?

Same here. I find "siri as a service" an interesting project. But not interesting enough to cope with a page that blends in and out content and makes my head spin.

Not involved with the project at all, just wondering what browser you're using? It seems pretty natural and all working fine for me on Chrome.
