Show HN: Caption This – an iOS to make Instagram story videos accessible http://bit.ly/2T1t8r6

Show HN: Caption This – an iOS to make Instagram story videos accessible Hi HN, I made an iOS app called "Caption This" that adds real-time captions to videos for Instagram stories. If you've ever tried to watch Instagram stories in a public space, then you already know the problem I’m trying to solve. The “Caption This” app solves this problem by using speech recognition to automatically add closed-captions to videos. Instagram stories with captions get more engagement. They're also more accessible to deaf members in your audience. You can edit the captions in case the speech recognition thinks you meant "ducking". You can also change the font and text/background colors of the captions. The app is built with React Native. At this point it's about 2/3 React Native and 1/3 native iOS and Objective-C. It's also open source (GPL v3) so you can check out the source too if you're into that kind of thing! Here is a link to the iOS app store: https://apple.co/2FRjR0L And here’s a link to the GitHub: http://bit.ly/2FHeUbD January 21, 2019 at 12:42PM

We do this by providing dish-level reviews. Users find highly reviewed dishes on Simmer, choose the delivery platform of their liking, and we deep link them into their chosen delivery app. We essentially lead gen to delivery. We started working on Simmer because we loved trying new restaurants, but never knew what to order. Especially, when there’s a 5 page menu. We always asked ourselves, “Why aren’t there ratings for individual dishes?” We launched our app with this restaurant-centric use case (reviews for every dish at every restaurant), but when we rolled out delivery integrations, we realized that users resonated most with the delivery angle. They found it particularly ...
