You should make it clearer that you don't actually handle voice recognition. When I read: "Developers use Wit to easily build a voice interface for their app." I expect you to handle things from start to finish.
Also, let me try it! It's frustrating because the UI looks like you can experiment but it's only an animated demo (or am I missing something??) In particular the mic logo is used to record on Google and here it doesn't seem to do anything?
You're right, we'll make it more clear on the landing page. A full out-of-the-box integration with some voice recognition engines (we love CMU Sphinx, open source) is in our roadmap.
> Also, let me try it!
We purposely didn't provide a "end-user" demo (something that would look like chatting with Siri) because we want to focus first on the developer experience, when they configure Wit to understand their very own end-users intents. You can require an invite and try this in less than 5 minutes.
Fair enough, but then you should make it clear: "Want to try it out? require an invite and try this in less than 5 minutes!"
You usually have to wait several days when you apply for a beta like this.
Seeing this message, I bit the bullet and requested an invite anyway, and have seen no action in the couple of hours since... thus validating my initial reluctance.
But as a bootstrapped startup, we have to make tradeoffs as our budget is limited. We have to accept invitations gradually today to keep our servers alive. We should be able to accept everybody within a few days at most. Sorry for the inconvenience.
