Well, at least part of it was staged. The handwriting on the left differs from the Google Doc:

- Handwriting: "The plan is simple:"

- Google Doc: "The plan is simple and brilliant. Here are the steps:"

Yep, that's fair.

We staged the google doc bc there is still a 10-30 sec lag time in sending the note out, we'll fix it up. Thank you for the call out!

Honestly, this wasn't calling you out at all. I think it is great. It is a very well done presentation. You did a good enough job that it made me interested in the product.

Thanks Brad! It was a great call out and something we should've seen before posting. Appreciate the feedback

So this is a con? 'staging' is a nice way of putting it I guess.

Hey! We wanted to show how the product works if notes are delivered instantly - vs. the current 10-30 sec lag time we experience between note being snapped, and the transcribed copy you receive.

Definitely didn’t mean for it to put a damper on the tech - sorry for the mistake.

Nice good catch!

I totally think this was all staged. I would love to think that they've made some huge innovation in OCR.

In any case, it is a good example of an MVP.
