To be brutally honest: color scheme + horizontal scrolling + too much text + general design = I ran off before learning too much about what Juwo does.

Please redesign!

Also try to condense what Juwo is trying to do into a short paragraph. So far, all I can gather by a quick 10 sec browse is that it has something to do with recording/playing back audio, table of contents for audio etc. Leave the demos, instructions, examples for other pages. Give me the story in nice big font and tell it to me like "I'm a 4 yr old." Hope that helps :)

I'll try to look around a bit more once I'm out of work.

I agree with veritas. Try to tell us in a few sentences what juwo is all about.

Based on a comment in another YC news post, I thought juwo was a tool for automatically transcribing audio to text (is that correct?).

If so, then why not just say that; the demos can be simplified to be the raw audio/video clip with the text, as transcribed by juwo next to/underneath the clips.

no, that's not correct. It does not transcribe automatically. however the labels can have functionality attached. for example, to run the speech recognizer you have installed on your computer, on a voice note.

Thanks for being the first public to drive it!.

I read that people dont want to click, but scrolling is ok - I thought that was the lecture at startup school? (I saw a breief note on it here on this site)

the condensation is at the diagrams on the right.

I wasn't at the most recent Startup School, but in general, people don't mind scrolling down; scrolling horizontally is a headache.

I wasn't at the startup school either, but in my experience people don't want to have to scroll down just to find things. People will scroll down to follow something they've already started, such as a comment thread, an essay, or a list of topics. They also will scroll down to read a list of blog entries, preferably in chronological order. (Otherwise they'll prefer to follow links to particular articles)

But if there is a variety of different types of content on the page, there should at least be a table of contents to do the scrolling for you.
